Get More Relevant Results with Storytell’s New ‘@’ Mention Feature

Easily get targeted insights with Storytell’s SmartChat™ using the new file mention feature. Just type ‘@’ in any query field to bring up a categorized dropdown of your existing Collections and uploaded files. Select and insert references with a click—no manual searching or typing needed. This ensures accuracy, eliminates typos, and improves the relevance of your AI-generated insights.

How it works

  • Type ‘@’ in any prompt or query field.
  • Select your file or collection from the dropdown menu.
  • Click to insert your reference—no manual typing required.
  • Enabled automatically for all users, with no setup needed.

More precise and efficient insights

Unlike manual input methods, Storytell’s File Mentions provide structured suggestions based on relevance. The feature also integrates directly with Storytell’s backend, ensuring seamless processing and more accurate AI-generated insights. With a familiar mention system similar to other collaboration tools, File Mentions are intuitive yet optimized specifically for Storytell workflows.

Use cases in action

  • A product manager working on a competitive analysis can insert reports directly into a prompt without needing to recall specific file names.
  • A customer success manager can tag previous call transcripts to ensure responses include past interactions, improving service accuracy.
  • A data analyst comparing trends across multiple datasets can reference them instantly, making analysis more efficient.
  • A sales rep preparing for a client meeting can pull up relevant pitch decks and notes without disruption, ensuring they have the right information at hand.

Currently, file mentioning supports only Collections and files, and the order of suggestions isn’t customizable. However, we’re actively gathering user feedback to refine and expand the feature, ensuring it evolves to better support your workflow needs.

Try it today

The file mentioning feature is live now—just type ‘@’ in any query field to start using it. Try it out and see how it simplifies file referencing in your daily work.
