Knowledge — documents, search and your second brain

The Knowledge section is where everything the assistant has learned about your work comes together. Documents you upload, notes you write, meetings you have, emails you receive — they all feed into a searchable, connected knowledge base.

Uploading documents

Drag a file to the Documents area or click Upload. The assistant indexes the content so it becomes searchable and can be referenced in future conversations.

Supported: PDF, Word documents, text files, and most common formats.

Searching your knowledge

Ask the assistant to search across everything:

  • "What do we know about the Q3 launch?"
  • "Find what we agreed with the supplier."
  • "Show me the market report from last week."
  • "What does the pricing decision affect?"
  • "Find mentions of the investor in my documents."

The assistant searches across documents, notes, meeting summaries, emails, and past conversations to find what you need.

Summarising a document

Share a document and ask for a summary:

  • "Summarise this document for me." (paste or upload)
  • "Give me the key points from the contract."
  • "What are the action items in this brief?"

The knowledge graph

The Knowledge screen shows a visual map of your information — people, projects, documents, decisions, and the connections between them. You can explore it to discover relationships you might have missed, or use it as a starting point for a question.

What the assistant knows

The assistant draws on your knowledge base in every conversation. When you ask a question, it searches your documents and history before answering — so you always get answers grounded in your own data, not generic ones.
