🌟 Leverage Tana AI for Natural Language-Powered Smart Search 🔍

Explain the problem as you see it

Problem Description: Tana's Query Editor allows for the creation of complex search expressions, which require users to understand and use specific syntax and commands.

Impact: For users without a technical background, mastering these complex search expressions is challenging. This not only increases the learning curve but may also lead to frustration and confusion when trying to use advanced search features.

Why is this a problem for you?

😕 I lack a technical background and find constructing effective search expressions very difficult. This results in frequent obstacles and inefficiency when I try to search for information.

📉 When I introduce Tana to friends, they are initially excited about this great tool, but the complex operations often deter them from continuing to use it.

Suggest a solution

Imagine telling Tana AI your needs, like "I want to find all my tasks for today," and it can automatically generate an accurate search query and edit it in Query Editor. No need for complex syntax—natural language is all it takes to get the information we need.

I'm not sure if current AI technology can realize such an idea, but I believe this should be the direction for the development of Tana Search, using natural language to communicate with machines.

Proposed Solution:

  1. Develop a Natural Language Processing Interface: Create an interface that understands user inputs in natural language.

  2. Automatically Generate Search Expressions: Intelligently generate the corresponding search expressions based on the user's natural language description.

  3. Automatically Complete Query Editing: Automatically fill the generated search expressions in the query editor, allowing users to execute searches immediately or make fine-tunings.

Tana's mission is to "reinvent how humans, teams, and computers work together." 🌏 By implementing natural language smart search, Tana will be able to:

  • Increase Efficiency: ⏩ Users can quickly find the information they need without learning complex query languages.
  • Promote Inclusivity: 👫 Simplified search functionalities make it easy for users from all backgrounds to use Tana, including those who are not tech-savvy.
  • Drive Innovation: 🚀 Leveraging AI technology to enhance user experience is at the core of Tana's vision.
