Online Assistant Mode

Use this mode when you need information that isn’t already in your Saner.AI workspace.

Online Assistant Mode gives Saner.Ai access to real-time information from the web. This allows it to support your thinking with current, external sources when your personal notes or files aren’t enough.

With Online Assistant Mode, it can:

  • Search the web in real time for up-to-date information

  • Answer questions about current events, new tools, or niche topics

  • Provide responses supported by real-world data, including references when available

  • Add external context that complements your existing notes and knowledge

This mode is useful when your question goes beyond what you’ve already captured in Saner.AI

To access this mode, go into “Ask AI” screen, then on the chat bar, click the model selector icon, then choose “Online”


Search Mode

Use this mode when you want to find or understand something inside your own workspace.

Search Mode activates Saner.AI’s AI-powered internal search, designed for deep and personalized knowledge retrieval across your content.

With Search Mode, you can:

  • Instantly find information from your notes, tasks, files, and saved knowledge

  • Get concise summaries from long documents or multiple related notes

  • Search by meaning, not just keywords, even if you don’t remember exact wording

Search Mode is ideal for:

  • Rediscovering ideas you wrote down weeks or months ago

  • Revisiting related thoughts across multiple notes

  • Turning scattered information into a single, clear insight

To access this mode, go into “Ask AI” screen, then on the chat bar, click the model selector icon, then choose “Search”


How to Choose the Right Mode

  • Use Online Assistant Mode when the answer requires fresh or external information

  • Use Search Mode when the answer already exists somewhere in your Saner.AI workspace
