# Voiceflow glossary

> What each term in Voiceflow means, grouped the same way the documentation is, with every entry linking to the page that explains it in full.

Forty-eight terms, filed the same way the documentation is, so a word you meet
while building is defined where you would look for it.

Every entry links to the page that explains it properly. This glossary orients
you; it is not a second source of truth.

## The shape of things

A **workspace** holds **projects**. One project owns exactly one **agent**. An
agent is built from playbooks and workflows, calls tools, reads a knowledge
base, and ships through environments.

<Note>
  Capitalisation carries meaning here. "Agent step" and "Function step" name
  specific steps; the bare words *step* and *tool* stay lowercase.
