Using Dhaga

Search & Ask Dhaga

The ⌘K command palette has two tabs — Search to filter by name, fact, or note, and Ask Dhaga to get a reasoned, receipted answer over your own graph.

Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux) anywhere in the app to open the command palette. It has two tabs for the two ways you'll look things up.

The Search tab filters your graph by name, fact, or note. Type a query and it matches across all three, with tunable weights so you can lean the ranking toward names or toward note content.

Ask Dhaga

The Ask Dhaga tab takes a natural-language question and answers it by reasoning over your own graph — "get a reasoned answer with receipts."

Two things make the answers trustworthy:

  • Receipts. Every answer points back to the notes and people it drew on, so you can verify it rather than take it on faith.
  • No fabrication. If the answer isn't in your notes or graph, Dhaga says so — it will not invent a plausible-sounding answer.

Ask Dhaga uses the LLM

Answering questions runs through Claude. On a self-hosted instance this needs ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (or your own LLM provider — see Add an LLM provider); Search itself works without it.
