Creating a project takes about a minute. Give it a name, optionally customize its appearance, and you’re ready to start adding chats, uploading files, and writing project instructions.
Free plan users can create 1 project. If you’ve reached the limit, delete an existing project or upgrade to Pro in Settings → Account → Subscription.

​
Steps to Create a Project

1

Click + New Project in the sidebar

In the left sidebar, find the Projects section and click + New Project. A project creation dialog opens.
2

Enter a project name

Type a clear, descriptive name. You’ll see this name in the sidebar and in every chat within the project.Good project names:
  • “Q4 Marketing Campaign”
  • “Client: Acme Corp”
  • “Python Learning”
  • “React E-commerce App”
Avoid vague names like:
  • “Project 1”
  • “Work”
  • “Misc”
3

Add a description (optional)

A short description helps you remember the project’s scope, especially if you have many projects.Example: “Website redesign for Acme Corp — Q1 2026. Deliverables: homepage, pricing page, and 5 product pages.”
4

Choose a color and icon (optional)

Pick a color accent and icon to visually distinguish this project in the sidebar. Useful when you have multiple active projects.
5

Click Create

Click Create. The project appears in your sidebar under the Projects section.

​
After Creating: Recommended Setup

Once the project exists, complete these three steps to get the most out of it:
1

Write project instructions

Open the project → click the Settings or gear icon → go to Instructions → write your system prompt and save.Instructions are injected into every chat in the project, so ZeroTwo always has the relevant context. See Project Instructions for examples and best practices.
2

Upload project files

Open the project → go to the Files tab → upload any reference materials: style guides, specs, data files, code files, or background documents.See Project Files for details.
3

Start a project chat

Click New Chat within the project view. This creates a chat scoped to the project, with instructions and files automatically available.

​
Free Plan Limit

Free plan users are limited to 1 project. If you try to create a second project on the Free plan, ZeroTwo will prompt you to upgrade or delete an existing project. To delete an existing project and free up your slot:
  1. Open the project from the sidebar
  2. Click the Settings or gear icon
  3. Scroll to the bottom and click Delete Project
  4. Confirm the deletion
Project deletion is permanent. All chats, files, and settings within the project are removed. Export or save any important content before deleting.

​
Business Plan: Org Collaboration

On the Business plan, you can invite org members to collaborate within a project. Members can access the project’s chats and files depending on their assigned permissions. See your organization’s admin settings for managing member access to projects.
