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.
What goes in a codex
Section titled “What goes in a codex”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.
How search works
Section titled “How search works”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.
Where a codex lives
Section titled “Where a codex lives”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.
Creating and filling one
Section titled “Creating and filling one”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.
