    Understand the results

    When you send a message with Company Knowledge active, a timeline panel opens on the side showing the search progress in real-time.

    The panel has two tabs:

    • Timeline: Shows each search step, which platforms are being queried, what documents are being read, and how the answer is being formed.
    • Sources: Lists all the documents and messages that were found, with direct links to open them in their original apps.

    This transparency lets you verify where information comes from and explore the source documents yourself.

    Select Specific Sources

    By default, Company Knowledge searches all your connected integrations. To search specific sources:

    1. Click the integration selector next to the Company Knowledge tool
    2. Select only the integrations you want to search
    3. Your search will be limited to those sources

    How It Works

    When you ask a question with Company Knowledge enabled:

    1. Query Analysis: The AI determines what you're looking for
    2. Multi-Source Search: Searches are executed across selected integrations in parallel
    3. Result Ranking: Results are ranked by relevance to your question
    4. Content Retrieval: Relevant documents are fetched and analyzed
    5. Answer Synthesis: The AI generates a comprehensive answer with citations

    Best Practices

    Include details like dates, people's names, or project names to get more accurate results.
    
    ❌ "Find the document"
    ✅ "Find the product roadmap document from March 2024"
    
    
    
    If you know where the information is likely to be, select only those integrations. This speeds up the search and improves relevance.
    
    
    
    You don't need to use special search syntax. Ask questions the way you'd ask a colleague.
    
    
    
    After getting initial results, ask follow-up questions to dig deeper into specific documents or topics.
