i actually like the concept of workspace agent, because i am feeling some real pain here to run long-term project while retaining context for each instance of agent. but based on the demo it seems more like for cooperation instead of preserving long-term project state: decisions made, actions taken, approvals given, history of what each agent did and why. it is then just a more convenient chatgpt entry in group chat.

another thing: this is all on OpenAI's servers. Which is fine if that's what you want. But there's a real class of user — technical, working on actual production code, security-conscious — for whom "my workspace lives on my machine, in my git repo, under my version control, works for my other non-openai tools" is a hard requirement, not a preference.
