Categories
Categories provide a structured way to organize AI assets across Karyam.
As organizations build more Agents, AI Flows, Skills, and services, Categories make it easier to discover, manage, and govern these resources.
Instead of maintaining a flat list of assets, Categories group related resources by business function, department, or use case.
Why Categories Exist
Section titled “Why Categories Exist”AI platforms grow quickly.
A workspace may eventually contain:

Categories provide a consistent structure for managing these assets.
