Chat

The Chat tab is your AI-powered question interface. Ask anything about your uploaded documents and get a cited, grounded answer — the AI only draws from your knowledge base, not the open internet.

Starting a Conversation

Go to Knowledge → Chat
Optionally select a collection from the dropdown to scope the search
Type your question in the input at the bottom
Press Send — the AI returns an answer with cited document sources

Suggested prompts appear on the empty state to get you started:

"What are the key topics across all my documents?"
"Summarise the most recent upload"
"What entities are most frequently mentioned?"
"How do the concepts in my docs relate to each other?"

Retrieval Modes

Select the retrieval strategy at the top of the panel:

Mode	Best for
Hybrid	Most questions — combines vector search and keyword matching
Local	Conceptual or semantic questions ("what does the policy say about X?")
Global	Relationship and entity questions ("how are these two companies connected?")
Naive	Exact term or phrase lookups

Hybrid is the default and works well in most cases.

Chat History

Past conversations appear in the left panel under your collection selector. Click any previous conversation to continue it or review past answers.

Scoping to a Collection

If you have multiple collections (e.g. "Legal Docs", "Product Specs"), select the relevant one before asking to keep answers focused. Leave it on All to search across your entire knowledge base.
