Highlights
- A separate space for multi-document work: Foxit Workspace treats a whole project as the unit of work, not a single file, producing one finished report, presentation, or diagram instead of a scattered chat thread.
- Ties into the same release as Local AI and BYOM: Local AI and BYOM control where AI processing happens inside a single document. Workspace solves the separate problem of connecting an entire project’s worth of documents.
- Cross-document intelligence: Reads across every document in a project at once, surfacing connections a single-file chat would miss.
- Multimodal output and Skills: Produces reports, presentation slides, mind maps, structured data tables, and diagrams, with one-click Skills for repeatable requests.
- Connects to your existing tools: MCP connectors pull real-time context from Atlassian, Notion, HubSpot, and Fireflies.
- Free to start: Included for every Foxit account with 300 AI credits a month, with an upgrade path to 2,000 credits for $4.99/mo or $49.99/yr.
Foxit PDF Editor 2026.2 brings a handful of new AI capabilities into the editor itself: Local AI, Bring Your Own Model, and a redesigned AI Assistant. Foxit Workspace is the piece of that release that doesn’t live inside a single document at all. It’s a separate project space for the work that spans many documents at once, and it’s worth understanding on its own terms.
What Foxit Workspace Actually Is
Most AI chat tools are built around one file and one question at a time. That’s fine for a quick question, but it breaks down the moment a real project spans ten documents, three tools, and a dozen back-and-forth prompts. Foxit Workspace treats the project as the unit of work instead of the single file. Create a project, add your source documents, and a goal-oriented AI agent reads across everything in it to produce one finished report, presentation, or diagram, not another chat thread you have to piece together yourself.
It isn’t a stripped-down chat feature bolted onto the editor. It’s a separate environment purpose-built for multi-document synthesis.
Why It’s Part of This Release
Local AI and BYOM solve a privacy problem: keeping AI processing on-device or on infrastructure your team controls. Workspace solves a different problem entirely, the one where a project’s real value is scattered across ten open documents instead of contained in any single one. Read across a whole project at once, and cross-references and related context surface that a single-file chat would miss.
Together, that’s the shape of this release: AI that respects sensitive files, and AI that can finally see an entire project instead of one document in isolation.
How It Works
Three steps take a project from raw documents to a finished deliverable. First, create a project and add your folders and documents. Second, the agent’s analysis cross-checks every file in the project. Third, download the finished output as a polished report, presentation, mind map, or diagram, whichever format the work calls for.
What Makes It Different From a Regular Chat
A few things stand out once you’re working inside a project instead of a single chat thread:
Cross-document intelligence. The agent reads across every document in a project at once, surfacing connections a single-file chat would never catch.
Multimodal output. Workspace doesn’t just generate text. It produces reports, presentation slides, mind maps, structured data tables, and diagrams from the same project.
Skills automation. One-click presets like Summarize or Mind Map handle repeatable requests, and teams can build custom Skills tailored to their own workflows.
MCP-connected tools. Workspace connects to Atlassian, Notion, HubSpot, and Fireflies through Model Context Protocol, pulling in real-time external context instead of requiring a manual copy and paste from each tool.
Multi-model support. Switch AI models per session, or connect your own enterprise LLM licensing through Bring Your Own Model, the same BYOM capability this release brings to the editor itself.
Availability and Cost
Foxit Workspace is free for every Foxit account, with 300 AI credits a month included for AI Assistant and Workspace combined. Teams that need more headroom can upgrade to 2,000 AI credits a month for $4.99/mo or $49.99/yr, with additional credit packs available for subscribers. It’s available today on web and as a standalone desktop app; mobile access is planned for 2026.
Who It’s For
Workspace is built for multi-document project teams, research, legal, and finance groups especially, along with teams already working in Slack, Asana, Notion, or HubSpot, and existing Foxit PDF Editor or PDF Editor+ subscribers.
It’s not the right fit yet for teams that need shared, multiplayer project spaces (team sharing is scheduled for late 2026), buyers who require SOC 2 Type II certification at launch, or mobile-first users without desktop access. Worth knowing going in, rather than finding out after setting up a project.
A Few Questions Worth Answering Up Front
What is Foxit Workspace?
Foxit Workspace is a project-based AI environment that reads across every document in a project at once and produces a single finished report, presentation, or diagram, instead of a chat thread you have to assemble yourself.
Does Foxit Workspace edit my PDF?
No. Workspace processes source documents to synthesize new outputs. To edit a PDF directly, use Foxit PDF Editor.
How much does Foxit Workspace cost?
It’s free for every Foxit account, with 300 AI credits a month included for AI Assistant and Workspace combined. Teams that need more can upgrade to 2,000 credits a month for $4.99/mo or $49.99/yr.
What tools does Foxit Workspace connect to?
Atlassian, Notion, HubSpot, and Fireflies, through Model Context Protocol (MCP) connections, pulling in real-time context without manual copy and paste.
Can I share project spaces with my team?
Not yet. Workspace accounts are currently single-user, with team sharing scheduled for late 2026.
Is Foxit Workspace available on mobile?
Not at launch. Desktop and web access are fully optimized today.
How does Workspace relate to Local AI and BYOM in this release?
Local AI and BYOM control where AI processing happens for work inside a single document, in Foxit PDF Editor and Foxit PDF Reader. Workspace is a separate environment for work that spans many documents. The two solve different problems, and both shipped as part of the same Foxit AI push in this release.
Foxit Workspace is available now at foxit.com/ai/workspace/ or as a standalone desktop app, part of the same 2026.2 release bringing Local AI and Bring Your Own Model into Foxit PDF Editor.
