Ask Mios
Search project knowledge, understand past rationale, and verify claims with source citations.
Ask Mios is an interactive search and query interface designed to explain why systems are built the way they are. Rather than guessing or reading thousands of lines of chat history, you can ask questions directly in natural language.
Opening the chat
To start a conversation, click Ask Mios or navigate to Chat (/pages/chat) in https://app.mios-ai.com.
You can ask high-level questions such as:
- "Why did we switch from WebSockets to Server-Sent Events?"
- "What database migration guidelines do we follow for user tables?"
- "Who decided on the 15-second timeout for background indexing?"
Sourced answers
Mios formulates answers using your project's knowledge graph and vector retrieval.
Every response includes numbered citation badges. Clicking any citation opens the exact source document, pull request, Slack conversation thread, or meeting transcript where the decision originated.
This allows you to verify every statement against primary historical evidence rather than relying on ungrounded AI summaries.
Choosing your query scope
You can scope your search depending on which workspace is selected:
Project scope
Selecting a specific project in the top bar restricts the search to that project's repositories, discussions, and decisions. This provides the most precise answers for day-to-day coding tasks.
Commun scope
Selecting the Commun space expands the search across all projects you belong to. Use this scope when researching company-wide standards, shared infrastructure, or decisions that touch multiple squads.
