Knoq’s chat interface connects to every tool your team uses — Slack, Notion, GitHub, Linear, Confluence, and more — and answers your questions by searching across all of them at once. Instead of opening five browser tabs and manually cross-referencing threads, docs, and issues, you type a single question and Knoq returns a synthesized answer with inline citations pointing back to the original sources. Every session is saved automatically, so you can revisit previous answers and continue conversations where you left off.
Starting a new session
Navigate to knoq.one and sign in. Your existing chat sessions are listed in the left sidebar, ordered by most recent activity.
Open a new chat
Click the New Chat button at the top of the left sidebar. A blank chat panel opens on the right.
Type your question
Click into the message input at the bottom of the panel and type your question. Press Enter or click the send button to submit.
Wait for the answer
Knoq searches across your connected integrations and returns a synthesized response. This typically takes a few seconds depending on how many tools are queried.
Writing effective questions
The quality of your question directly influences the quality of the answer. Here are a few practices that consistently produce better results.
Be specific about what you’re looking for. Vague questions get vague answers. Include the name of the project, the time frame, the person involved, or whatever context narrows the search.
What did we decide about pricing tiers in last week's Slack discussion in #product?
What's the current status of the onboarding redesign project in Linear?
Reference multiple tools explicitly when you need cross-tool synthesis. Knoq can query several integrations in a single pass and weave the results together. You can name the tools you want it to check, or ask it to follow a reference from one source to another.
Summarize the Q3 launch decision. Check the Notion project brief and any related Slack threads.
Find the GitHub issue for the login bug and tell me what the Notion design spec says about the expected behavior.
Ask follow-up questions. You don’t need to restate all the context in every message. Within a session, Knoq keeps the conversation history in mind, so you can drill down with short follow-ups.
Who was assigned to that task?
Can you show me the exact quote from the Slack message?
Ask for links. If you want to jump straight to a source document, ask for it explicitly.
Link me to the Notion doc mentioned in that answer.
Cross-tool questions are where Knoq shines. Try something like: “What’s the status of the Q3 project? Check Notion for the spec and Linear for open tickets.” Knoq will search both tools and synthesize a unified answer in one response.
Understanding the response
Each response has three parts you should know about.
The answer text. This is the synthesized response, written in plain language. Where the answer draws on a specific document, message, or issue, you’ll see inline citations — small numbered references you can click to jump to the original source.
Collapsible tool steps. Below (or within) the answer, Knoq shows you the individual tool calls it made to produce the response — for example, searching a Notion workspace, fetching a Slack thread, or querying a Linear project. These steps are collapsed by default. Click any step to expand it and see exactly which tools were invoked and what they returned. This transparency helps you verify that Knoq looked in the right places.
Confidence signals. If Knoq couldn’t find strong evidence for part of an answer, it will say so. Pay attention to hedging language like “I couldn’t find a definitive source for this” — it’s a signal to verify manually.
Follow-up messages
You can continue any conversation by typing another message in the same session. The full conversation history is preserved within the session, so Knoq understands what “that” or “the project mentioned above” refers to. You do not need to start a new chat for each question — working within a single session often produces better, more contextual answers than starting fresh each time.
If you switch to a different session and want to revisit a thread, just click it in the left sidebar. Knoq loads the full transcript and you can pick up right where you left off.
Canceling a query
If a query is taking longer than expected — or you realize you want to rephrase the question — click the Cancel button that appears below the loading indicator while a response is being generated. Canceling immediately stops the in-progress search. You can then edit your question and resubmit.
Managing sessions
All of your chat sessions appear in the left sidebar, sorted by most recent activity. Sessions are automatically titled based on your first message so you can find them later.
To delete a session you no longer need, hover over it in the sidebar and click the delete icon (trash can). Deleting a session permanently removes the conversation history. The sidebar displays up to your 50 most recent sessions.
