Ask
Ask natural language questions about your memory and get answers grounded in your own content.
How it works
Open Ask from the sidebar. You'll see a text area with the prompt "Ask anything about your sources..." Type your question, press Enter, and Woxpas searches your entire memory to build an answer.
Answers are streamed in real time with citations pointing back to your original files. You can click any citation to see the exact source text.
Smart retrieval
Woxpas understands the intent behind your question and retrieves content differently depending on what you're asking for:
Meaning retrieval
When you ask conceptual questions like "What were the key decisions about the product launch?" Woxpas synthesises an answer by pulling insights from across your memory — connecting related ideas, even from different files and time periods.
Artefact retrieval
When you ask for specific items like "Find the email from Sarah about the budget" Woxpas looks for exact files, quotes, and documents that match — showing you the raw content.
Recent recall
You can also ask for your most recent memories — "What did I save yesterday?" or "Show me the last 5 things I added." Woxpas understands temporal queries.
Scoping your search
By default, Ask searches across your entire memory. You can narrow the scope to specific files:
- •Click the scope pill below the input to switch from "All memory" to "Selected sources"
- •Or type @ in the input to open the file picker
- •Select the files you want to search within — they show as chips below the input
This is useful when you know the answer is in a specific document and want more targeted results.
Conversations
Each question starts a new conversation. Your conversations are saved and appear in a list below the input, showing the title, timestamp, and how many sources were used. You can search through past conversations to find previous answers.
Click any past conversation to continue it. Use the three-dot menu to delete a conversation.
Tips for better answers
- •Be specific — "What did the Q3 report say about revenue?" works better than "Tell me about revenue"
- •Ask across documents — "How do the two proposals differ?" to get connected answers
- •Use temporal context — "What did I save last week about the project?" for time-based recall
- •Scope to specific files when you know where the answer lives
- •Follow up in the same conversation to refine or dig deeper
