Answers a natural language question using content from your project as context. The endpoint first performs semantic retrieval to find relevant content, then sends the context to an LLM to generate a grounded answer. Responds via Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming output. Requires a paid plan with semantic search enabled.

​
Body Parameters

​
query
string
required
The question to answer. Typos and ambiguous phrasing are handled gracefully.
​
sourceTypes
string[]
default:"[\"entity\", \"comment\", \"message\"]"
Content types to use as context. Any combination of entity, comment, message.
​
spaceId
string
Restrict the context lookup to a specific space.
​
conversationId
string
Restrict message context lookup to a specific conversation.
​
limit
number
default:"20"
Maximum number of content chunks to retrieve for context. Maximum 50.

​
Response

The response is a Server-Sent Events stream with Content-Type: text/event-stream. Three event types are emitted: token — streamed LLM answer tokens: 
event: token
data: {"content": "Based on"}

event: token
data: {"content": " the discussion..."}
sources — the content records used as context, sent after the answer is complete: 
event: sources
data: [{"sourceType": "entity", "similarity": 0.87, "record": {...}}, ...]
Each source object follows the same shape as the Search Content response — sourceType, similarity, and a fully populated record. An empty array is sent when no relevant context was found. done — signals the stream is finished: 
event: done
data: {}
If no relevant content is found above the similarity threshold, the LLM response is skipped and the answer event immediately says “I couldn’t find any relevant content to answer your question.”

​
Error Responses

{ "error": "Semantic search requires a paid plan", "code": "project/plan-required" }
Only returned when headers have not yet been sent (i.e., before streaming starts).
If an error occurs after streaming starts:
event: error
data: {"error": "Internal server error"}
