AI Search
Overview
The percent command (%) leverages AI to intelligently search through all your cairns and find the one that best matches your query. Instead of remembering exact cairn names, simply describe what you’re looking for and let AI do the searching for you.
How It Works
% your search query
AI analyzes your query and searches through all your cairns to find the best match
Examples

% emailLocates your Gmail, Outlook, or other email service cairn
% company wikiFinds your internal documentation or knowledge base cairn
% code reviewDiscovers your GitHub PR, GitLab MR, or code review platform cairn
Smart Search Capabilities
Natural Language Understanding
The AI understands context and synonyms. Searching for “dashboard” might find cairns named “analytics”, “metrics”, or “reporting” based on their URLs and descriptions.
Fuzzy Matching
Don’t remember the exact name? The AI handles typos and partial matches. Searching for “slck” could still find your “Slack” cairn.
Context-Aware Results
The AI considers cairn descriptions, URLs, and usage patterns to find the most relevant result for your query.
