AI should be accountable
We built Workpiece around a simple principle: AI should be powerful AND accountable. Here's how we approach permissions, traceability, and version control.
Our philosophy
These aren't just features—they're table stakes for AI tools handling real work.
Transparent
You should always see what happened and why. No black boxes.
Controllable
You decide what AI can do and when it needs to ask.
Recoverable
Mistakes should never be catastrophic. Everything is reversible.
Auditable
For compliance, debugging, or simple peace of mind.
Not just what, but why
Every change to your work is recorded with full attribution. But we go beyond most platforms by capturing the AI's reasoning—not just what it decided, but why.
- Complete history tracking with field-level diffs
- Human vs AI attribution on every change
- Searchable decision reasoning
- 11 distinct change types tracked
- Full property snapshots for any point in time
Granular control over every tool
When you connect AI to your workspace, you're giving it real power. Our permission system ensures you stay in control.
- Tool-level permission control for each operation
- Prompt-based approvals for sensitive actions
- Session-scoped "Allow once" or "Never" options
- Persistent permissions for tools you trust
- OAuth with explicit consent and scoped access
- View and revoke any connection anytime
Approval before execution
Sometimes you want AI to plan first and execute only after review. Choose your comfort level with three approval modes.
- None: Full autonomy for trusted, routine tasks
- One-off: Review the plan before any execution begins
- Every time: Approve every plan, no matter how simple
- AI asks for clarification when encountering ambiguity
- Notification escalation if you don't respond in time
Nothing is ever lost
Mistakes happen—whether human or AI. A robust version control system ensures nothing is ever truly lost.
- 30-day recycle bin retention
- Full metadata preserved on deleted items
- One-click restore to original location
- Cascade handling: delete a parent, children go to bin too
- Complete version history with rollback to any point
- Side-by-side version comparison
