How to search in Akooda?

Start at the Home page and enter your question in the search bar at the top.

You can search for any organizational data that Akooda is connected to by using the natural speech you’d use to ask a coworker the same question. Here's how:

Here are a few examples you can try:

What is the status of project X?

Who can help me with Y?

When was my last meeting with Z?

How can I filter my results?

Although we don’t currently allow for filtering, it’s a high-priority feature and we will be adding it shortly. In the meantime, you can refine your search by using specific keywords or phrases to narrow down results.

For example, try using the name of the app (like Jira or Slack) or a more specific timeframe (i.e. last week, this quarter) for more accurate results.

How far back can I search?

By default, Akooda searches across data from within the last 3 months.

For an extended period, please contact your account admin.

How long does it take for search results to be available after a new data source is added?

It usually takes about 24 hours to scan and update a new data source.

If more than 24 hours have passed and your search results are not including data from your data source, please contact our Support team.

How do you keep my privacy?

Akooda processes data from your existing business tools enforcing the existing permissions, so users only see what they are allowed to access. We never expose any information to anyone who does not already have existing viewing permissions. Your private interactions are never exposed to Akooda at any point, and we do not store any of the raw data. To learn more about it, visit our Privacy principles here.

Are there any limitations on the number of searches or the amount of data I can search through?

There are no limits to the number of searches you can perform 🙂.
