Explain the problem as you see it

Right now, AI chat in Tana only works with selected nodes. This creates friction:

• It’s often difficult to find the exact node I want to chat with.
• Even if I find it, I could just copy the content into ChatGPT and get the same result.

As a result, the AI chat feature feels disconnected from my knowledge base. It doesn’t provide unique value beyond what I can already do outside Tana.

Why is this a problem for you?

Knowledge are distributed across multiple nodes that are connected in meaningful ways. Insights often come from seeing those relationships, not from looking at a single node in isolation.

I want to use natural language to query my knowledge base, even when I don’t know the exact terms or node to search for.

Without whole-workspace context, AI chat cannot fully support summarization, exploration, or creative insight generation.

Suggest a solution

Introduce a “Chat with Knowledge” mode for AI chat. When enabled:

• The system uses the embedded whole knowledge base as context.
• AI can summarize across multiple related nodes automatically, not just one at a time.
• Users can discover hidden connections, ask broad questions, and receive higher-value insights — making AI chat a truly integrated part of the Tana experience.

Why this matters for Tana:

• It transforms AI chat from a “nice-to-have” tool into a core differentiator of the platform.
• It reduces the gap between knowledge capture and knowledge exploration.
• It makes Tana the place where knowledge not only lives but also actively works for the user.
