Asking Naumu
Chat with Naumu to add knowledge, ask questions, and let it build and edit your graph.
Naumu lives in chat. You don't draw your graph by hand — you talk to Naumu, the built-in AI, the way you'd brief a colleague.
Your graph is the network of facts Naumu builds for you: the people, projects, and ideas in your space and the connections between them. When you write to Naumu, it reads your message, searches your existing knowledge, and then either answers you or proposes changes to that graph. Nothing it suggests is saved until you approve it.
Starting a thread
Every space opens on a chat thread. Type a message in plain language and send it — there's no syntax to learn and nothing to format. You can start a fresh conversation any time from the conversations list. Each thread keeps its own history, participants, and the changes that came out of it.
When a thread is just you and Naumu, it responds to every message automatically. To bring Naumu into a thread that already has other people in it, @mention it.
Asking a question vs. giving knowledge
The same chat box does two different jobs. Naumu decides which one you mean from what you write:
- Giving knowledge — you describe what you're working on, paste notes, or list people and projects. Naumu picks out the entities (the people, projects, and other things you mention) and the relationships between them, then proposes adding them to your graph.
- Asking a question — you ask about something already in the space. Naumu searches your graph and answers in the chat, without changing anything.
You never have to flag which one you mean. "Acme signed last week, owner is Dana" reads as knowledge; "who owns the Acme account?" reads as a question. When a message could go either way, Naumu may ask a clarifying follow-up rather than guess.
How Naumu reads the graph and proposes changes
Before it answers, Naumu loads your space and searches it for relevant context — so a new fact lands next to the things it relates to instead of off on its own. While it works, you'll see its status update ("Searching your graph," "Preparing graph changes").
When a message implies changes, Naumu replies with a diff — a card showing exactly what it wants to add or edit, ready for you to review. A diff can include new nodes (the entities themselves), new edges (the connections between them), attribute changes, and any new schema types (the categories Naumu sorts entities into). You can read it as a list, or switch to a Graph view to see how the proposed pieces connect. Nothing is written yet.
Accepting and rejecting diffs
The diff card puts you in control. Each row is one change Naumu wants to make:
- Read the proposed changes.
- Uncheck any row you don't want. The button updates to show what you're keeping — for example, Accept (5 of 8).
- Select Accept to write the checked rows into your graph, or Reject to discard the whole proposal and tell Naumu what to change instead.
After you accept, the card shows Changes applied (or Partially applied, if you kept only some rows). Changed your mind? Select Undo all on the card, or undo a single row with its per-row undo button.
Accepting a proposal in a private thread makes that conversation visible to other members of the space, so the reasoning behind each change stays attached to the knowledge it produced.
Mentioning nodes and people
Two pickers help you point at exactly what you mean:
- Type
@to mention a person (or Naumu itself). Mentioning someone notifies them; mentioning Naumu pulls it into a multi-person thread. - Type
#to reference something already in your space — a node, note, view, or canvas. The reference becomes a clickable pill that tells Naumu exactly which entity you mean, so "connect#Acme to#Dana" leaves no room for confusion.
Attachments and voice
You can give Naumu more than text. To add images and documents to a message, use the attach button — or paste or drag the files straight into the message box. To speak instead of type, select the microphone: short clips are sent as audio, and longer recordings are saved as a transcribed note you can reference later.
Pausing the agent
To cut off a reply in progress, select the Stop button — it replaces the send button while Naumu is writing. To stop Naumu from auto-responding in a thread entirely, pause it: the thread shows "Naumu is no longer auto-responding," and a Resume action brings it back when you're ready.
Threaded replies and reactions
Chat works like a normal team conversation. Hover over a message to Reply to it — your reply shows a small quote of what it answers, so side discussions stay easy to follow. You can also react to any message with an emoji, from either the quick-reaction row or the full picker. Both replies and reactions work on messages from people and from Naumu alike.
