How to @ mention documents
Give Boki specific context by referencing your documents directly.
Overview
@ mentions let you point Boki at a specific brief, article, or plan. Instead of Boki guessing which content you mean, you tell it exactly.
Prerequisites
- At least one brief, article, or plan in your workspace
- Access to the global chat
Steps
- Open the global chat (orange sparkle)
- Type
@in the message input - A dropdown appears showing your documents:
- Briefs
- Articles
- Plans
- Click a document to select it (or keep typing to filter)
- The document name appears in your message with an @ prefix
- Continue typing your question
- Send the message
Example
Instead of:
What's the main argument in my article about API design?
Type:
@API Design Best Practices — what's the main argument?
Boki reads the referenced document and responds with specific information from it.
Multiple mentions
You can mention multiple documents in one message:
Compare @Brief: API Security with @Brief: Authentication Patterns — what do they have in common?
What can be mentioned
- Briefs — your content briefs
- Articles — drafted or published articles
- Plans — content plans and calendars
Result
When you @ mention a document:
- Boki reads the full content of that document
- Responses are specific to that document, not general
- You get accurate information without Boki guessing
Tips
Be specific about what you want: "Summarize @My Brief" is okay. "@My Brief — find technical claims that need fact-checking" is better.
Mention the most relevant document: If you have multiple briefs on similar topics, mention the one you're asking about.
Combine with mode selection: Use Research mode with @ mentions to compare your content against external sources.
