Search and analyze across your entire knowledge base with AI-powered insights that connect information from all your knowledge objects.
What is Global Chat?
Global Chat is Parsd's most comprehensive AI-powered search and analysis feature. Unlike other chat modes that focus on specific projects or individual documents, Global Chat searches across your entire knowledge base to provide broad insights from all your knowledge objects at once.
When to Use Global Chat
Global Chat is perfect when you need to:
- Get insights that span multiple projects and knowledge objects (documents)
- Explore connections across your entire knowledge base
- Ask broad questions that might require information from various sources
- Conduct comprehensive analysis without knowing exactly which knowledge object (documents) contain relevant information
How Global Chat Works
Global Chat uses a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) solution that:
- Searches your entire knowledge base - When you ask a question, the system searches through all documents, projects, and sources you've added to Parsd
- Identifies relevant content - The AI finds the most relevant pieces of information related to your query
- Generates comprehensive answers - Using the retrieved content, the AI provides well-informed responses based on your actual data
Using Global Chat

Simply type your question in the chat box and press send. Global Chat works best with:
- Open-ended research questions

- Questions where you want a comprehensive overview of a specific subject
Language Filtering
Use the language filter to search for content in specific languages:
- Click the "Language to search for" dropdown
