Ask about your project, get answers with sources

Press Ctrl K and ask in plain words, like “What is the biggest risk this week?”. Keel answers from what you are allowed to see, and every sentence points to the message, commit, or meeting it came from.

What it does

  • Workspace searchKeyword and meaning-based search together, across tasks, docs, chats, decisions, and meetings.
  • Cited answersEvery claim in an answer cites at least one source you can click.
  • Honest when unsureIf there is no evidence, Keel says so instead of guessing.
  • Permission awareSearch and answers are filtered by your access before anything is ranked. Private projects stay private.
  • Command paletteCtrl K reaches search and every main action from the keyboard.
  • Fast at scaleDesigned for sub-second search across a large workspace.

How it works

Every flow in Keel follows one loop: a signal becomes a risk, a risk becomes a proposal, and only an approval changes the plan.

See the full loop

  1. Press Ctrl K and ask a question.
  2. Keel finds passages you are allowed to see.
  3. It writes an answer from those passages only.
  4. Each sentence links to its source.
  5. With no evidence, it tells you so.

Ask Keel and search questions

Can Ask Keel see projects I do not have access to?

No. Retrieval is filtered by your permissions before ranking, so answers only use what you can already see.

What happens when Keel does not know the answer?

It says it lacks evidence instead of making something up.

What can I search?

Tasks, docs, chats, decisions, and meetings in your workspace.
