Description:
We propose adding a
three-mode setting
to Taskade’s AI functionality, allowing users to control how the AI interacts with their uploaded knowledge base (e.g., documents, notes, or project data). The modes would include:
  1. "Only Knowledge" Mode
    : Restrict AI responses
    exclusively
    to the user’s uploaded documents/data. The AI would not access external or general knowledge.
  2. "Non-Knowledge" Mode
    : Disable the AI’s access to uploaded data entirely (current "Disable Knowledge" setting). Responses would rely solely on the AI’s general training.
  3. "Mixed" Mode
    : Combine both the user’s knowledge base and the AI’s general knowledge (current "Enable Knowledge" behavior).
This feature is inspired by platforms like
Google NotebookLM
, which prioritizes grounding AI outputs in user-provided sources.

Why This is Important:
  • Control & Precision
    : Users in regulated fields (e.g., legal, healthcare) need strict adherence to internal data. "Only Knowledge" mode ensures compliance and reduces hallucinations.
  • Creativity vs. Accuracy
    : Writers/marketers might prefer "Non-Knowledge" mode for brainstorming, while teams needing data-backed answers can toggle "Only Knowledge."
  • Flexibility
    : A hybrid "Mixed" mode remains useful for general tasks, but granular control empowers users to tailor AI behavior to specific workflows.

How It Should Work:
  • Accessible Settings
    : Add a dropdown menu in each AI Agent settings (e.g., under ā€œAI Agent - Edit Agent - Knowledgeā€) to select between the three modes.
  • Clear Labels
    :
- šŸ”’
Only Knowledge
: ā€œAnswers sourced 100% from your uploaded documents.ā€
- šŸŽØ
Non-Knowledge
: ā€œGeneral AI creativity (no internal data used) (current default).ā€
- 🌐
Mixed
: ā€œCombine your knowledge + AI insights.ā€
  • Error Handling
    : In "Only Knowledge" mode, if a query lacks relevant data, the AI responds: ā€œNo matching information found in your workspace.ā€

Use Cases:
  1. A legal team uses
    "Only Knowledge"
    to ensure all AI-generated contract clauses align strictly with their templates.
  2. A marketing team toggles to
    "Non-Knowledge"
    for brainstorming campaign slogans without data bias.
  3. A project manager uses
    "Mixed"
    mode to cross-reference task deadlines (from their calendar) with general productivity tips.

Additional Notes:
  • This aligns with Taskade’s vision of customizable workspaces and AI-augmented productivity.
  • Competitors like NotebookLM emphasize source-grounded AI, making this a strategic differentiator.
