It combines a personal greeting, a central chat input, a tag filter, and a grid of all the assistants and apps available to you. From there, the left sidebar gives one click access to every other area of PANTA OS. The sidebar is the spine of the product. It is collapsible: a small icon at the top of the sidebar reduces it to an icon only bar, which is the default state in a chat. You can expand it again at any time to see the full labels. Panta Documentations (EN) ## Why it matters Most users open the same few areas every day. A predictable Dashboard and a consistent sidebar save searching and reduce context switching. Once the layout is familiar, navigation becomes routine. ## How to use it ### The Dashboard After signing in, the Dashboard shows: A short greeting with your name, for example "How can I help you, \[Name]?". A chat input with an animated placeholder that rotates through example prompts. Start typing to begin a spontaneous chat with the default model. A row of tags above the grid. Click a tag to filter the grid to matching items, or open Manage tags to create, edit, and color code your own tags. The color picker offers eight predefined colors. The full catalog of items available to you, with tabs for All, Assistants, Workflows, Tools, and Favorites. The **+ Create Assistant** button at the top right opens the creation dialog. You can arrange your own Dashboard grid to your preferences. PANTA OS does not impose a centrally curated selection of featured items; instead, each user arranges the grid to fit their work. ### The sidebar The left sidebar groups every main area in a fixed order. The upper half is for daily work, the lower half for account related actions. Start a fresh conversation with the default model. Return to the home screen with the grid and chat input. Open the internal feed for platform updates and company news. Open the Inbox side panel with notifications about completed workflow runs, grouped by date. Browse past conversations and workflow runs through the Assistants, Workflows, and Favorites tabs. Open your content library, split into Generated content and Uploaded content. Collapsible list of your most relevant assistants. Click an entry to open it directly, without a detour through the Dashboard. Collapsible list of your most relevant apps. The same items are called Workflows on the Dashboard cards; both names refer to the same concept. Below Apps, the most recent chats are listed directly, so you can reach them with one click, in addition to the full History view. At the bottom of the sidebar: Visible to administrators only. Opens the Admin Panel with tabs for Analytics, User Management, Team Management, Integrations, Community Feed, Organization Settings, and Token Limits. Personal preferences across General, Profile, and Integrations. Your name and email, with quick access to the profile area. Sign out of the current session. ### Collapsing the sidebar A small icon at the top right of the sidebar collapses it to an icon only bar. This frees up horizontal space for long conversations or wide content. The bar stays clickable through each icon, so you can still switch areas with one click. Click the icon again to expand it. ### Moving between areas Each entry opens its corresponding area. The Dashboard stays available behind the active screen. Use the icon at the top right of the sidebar to collapse it for more screen space. Click Dashboard in the sidebar at any time to return to the home screen. ## Key settings or options Use the row of tags above the grid to narrow down assistants and apps. Manage your tags through the Manage tags dialog. The Favorites tab in the Dashboard grid and in History collects items you have starred, so they are reachable with one click. Open Settings to switch between German and English. The setting applies per user. PANTA OS works on mobile and desktop. Building assistants and apps is more comfortable on desktop because of the larger form area; daily chat and review work is equally usable on mobile. ## Tips and best practices * Start from the Dashboard, not from a chat. The grid shows what your team has already built, and reuse is faster than a blank prompt. * Arrange your grid deliberately. PANTA OS does not impose featured items, so the order you set is the order you see. * Collapse the sidebar during long chat sessions; expand it when you need to navigate. * Keep Favorites short. Star only items you actually return to, otherwise the Favorites tab loses its value. The Apps sidebar entry and the Workflows tab on the Dashboard refer to the same concept. When you build one, it appears in both views. ## Help center Open Settings at the bottom of the sidebar and switch the language under the general preferences. German and English are available; each user sets their own. Yes. Each user can arrange the grid on their own Dashboard. There is no centrally curated selection of featured items, so the order you choose is the order you see. The sidebar is collapsible. It collapses automatically in a chat to give the conversation more horizontal space, and it can be collapsed or expanded manually at any time through the icon at the top right of the sidebar. The Dashboard grid is the catalog of assistants and apps you can run. The Library is the storage for the content those runs produce, as well as for everything you have uploaded. Different purposes, different screens. At the product level, none. Both names refer to the same multi step processes. The sidebar calls the area Apps; the Dashboard cards call the items Workflows. Yes. All main areas are usable on mobile. For tasks with longer form fields, such as building a new assistant or app, desktop is more comfortable. The Admin entry is visible to administrators only. If you do not see it, your role is User, the standard role. Contact your administrator to request a role change if you need access.
