Codex

A codex is a searchable library of documents that lives inside a feature. You fill it with your own material — reports, contracts, PDFs, slide decks, even images — and Ronja finds the right passage by meaning, not just by matching keywords. Ask a question in plain language and she surfaces the exact document, page, or chart that answers it.

A codex is Ronja’s memory for the knowledge that lives in your files. It’s the right home for material that’s too bulky to paste into a conversation and too unstructured to hold in a table: a folder of contracts, a stack of past reports, a product manual, a research archive.

You add documents — each one a piece of text, or an uploaded file Ronja reads for you:

  • Files and PDFs. Upload a PDF, Word document, or slide deck and Ronja extracts the text, page by page, so every page becomes searchable.
  • Images. Add an image and Ronja understands the picture itself — a chart, a diagram, a scanned page — alongside the words in the rest of the codex.
  • Plain text. Hand Ronja text directly — notes, transcripts, exported records.

Newly added documents take a moment to become searchable while Ronja reads and indexes them; a document still being processed shows an indexing marker on the codex page, and the codex is fully Indexed once she’s done.

A codex supports two ways of finding things, and Ronja usually combines them:

  • Search by meaning (semantic search). Ronja matches on what a passage is about, so you find the right answer even when you don’t know the exact wording. Ask “what’s our cancellation policy?” and she surfaces the clause, however it’s phrased.
  • Search by keyword. Exact tokens, names, codes, and quoted phrases — for when you know the precise term.

You can search a codex yourself from its page, or simply ask Ronja a question in an exploration — she searches the codexes she has access to as part of answering, and cites what she found.

A codex belongs to a feature, the same way tables and notes do, and it follows that feature’s scope and sharing: private to you, shared with an access group, or available across the organization. Share the feature and everyone who can reach it can search the codex too.

Unlike a note — a single, carefully written document that goes through review — a codex is built for volume: hundreds or thousands of documents, added and updated in bulk, with no per-document approval step. A note teaches Ronja how to do something; a codex stores what your documents say, ready to search.

Like most resources, a codex is agent-authored — there’s no “New codex” button. In Build mode, ask Ronja to create one and add your documents; she can also keep it up to date from a workflow or a data app as new material arrives. For the step-by-step, see Create a codex.
