The @ mention feature lets you explicitly include saved content in your messages. This gives you precise control over what context Flast considers.

How @ Mentions Work

Type @ in the message input to open a dropdown menu. You will see:
  • Memories: Your saved knowledge base items
  • Bookmarks: Messages you have starred
Select an item to include it as context for your message.

When to Use Mentions

Reference Specific Context

When you want Flast to consider a particular memory:
@Project Phoenix Requirements - Based on these requirements,
what should we prioritize for the MVP?

Include Saved Information

When you need Flast to use stored details:
@Client Feedback - How should we address the concerns
they raised about pricing?

Searching Mentions

The dropdown shows recent and relevant items first. Start typing after @ to search:
  • @proj finds memories containing “project”
  • @api finds mentions related to APIs
  • @meeting finds items about meetings

Multiple Mentions

You can include multiple mentions in one message:
@Project Requirements @Budget Constraints
Given both of these, what is a realistic timeline?

Best Practices

Be Selective

Only mention what is directly relevant. Extra context can confuse the response.

Use for Normal Memories

Always memories are included automatically, so you do not need to @ mention them.

Combine with Questions

Follow your mention with a clear question or request:
@Design System Guidelines - Does my proposed color
scheme align with these guidelines?
Mentions pull in the full content of the selected item.
