Convictional's powerful search feature allows you to find and analyze information across all of your integrated documents, meetings, decisions, and the wider internet. Our AI-powered search understands the content of your organization's knowledge and provides intelligent responses tailored to your needs.

Search Overview

Search Modes

Convictional offers two search modes to help you find the information you need:

Ask Mode

The Ask mode is designed for quick, focused answers to specific questions. It's perfect when you need immediate information or straightforward answers grounded in your organization's context.

Use Ask Mode when your question is narrow in scope and requires only a single query.

Key features:

  • Fast, concise responses to direct questions

  • Citations linking to source documents

  • Access to your organization's knowledge base

Research Mode

The Research mode provides comprehensive, in-depth analysis on complex topics. It's ideal when you need thorough exploration of a subject that may span multiple documents or sources.

Use Research Mode when your question is broad in scope and requires multiple steps to think and process.

Key features:

  • Detailed, structured reports synthesizing information from multiple sources

  • Step-by-step reasoning and analysis

  • Comprehensive coverage of complex topics

  • Takes longer to generate but provides deeper insights

Choosing Your Information Sources

When using search, you can specify which sources to include:

  • Convictional - Content within the platform (meetings, decisions, discussions)

  • Integrated services - Content from connected services (Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, etc.)

  • Web - Information from the wider internet (cannot be used in Ask mode)
