Who can use Universal Search and the Assistant?
Everyone with a Sana account has access to Universal Search and the Assistant.
For Sana content
Your search results will only contain information from content you have access to. For example, content you are assigned as a learner or content you have collaborator rights to as an admin
For external content (integrations)
Every user must authenticate themselves to each external integration and has access to the same scope they have for the specific service. For example, a user who adds a Google Drive integration can see the same files they could see if searching directly in Google Drive.
FAQ
How does the search algorithm learn?
We use a dedicated training set of internal data to manually and automatically train our ranking algorithm to find the most relevant matches. No customer data is used, unless specifically agreed upon.
Furthermore, we log the queries asked by users, and how a user interacted with the results or the assistant, so that we can learn to serve the types of queries users need the most in the best way possible.
The Universal Search assistant answer is based on OpenAI's large language models. OpenAI does not train their models on API data.
Will Sana index all our data in these services?
Sana does not index any data from the API integrations. It is transient through the search process, and not stored after the search query is completed.
For native Sana content, the content is indexed on the same servers as we store content in general.
Notion is the only indexed external source, as Notion's search APIs are limited in scope and performance. To set up a Notion integration, please contact Sana's product team via your Sana representative.
Can every user see every document?
Each user is authenticating themselves and can see results only from the scope they have access to in each individual service. For example, a user can see the same results from Google Drive that they could see if searching directly from Google Drive.
Will our data go into the model, so others might access it?
OpenAI does not train their models on the data passed through the API. The context from your search results are used momentarily, passing through a screening filter to ensure no harmful data is processed, after which it is deleted. Source: OpenAI's API data usage policies
Sana does not store the data. We store the user queries to improve our search algorithms and to be able to offer insights to your organization in the future.
No data leaks from one organization to another.
For further information, please find Sana's data privacy documentation below.
Can I, as an admin, enable the integrations for the whole organization?
You can control which integrations are available to the organization, and which ones will feed into the assistant response.
It is currently not possible to enable and add the integrations for all users as an admin, as each user must authenticate themselves to get access to their private files. See more about integrations here
