Where is my company data stored when Khint indexes it?
On your Mac, in a local SQLite full-text index, never on Khint's servers. Cloud AI platforms keep a synced copy of your Confluence or your CRM on their own infrastructure and search it there; Khint holds no copy of your corpus anywhere. Switching a source off, or forgetting an integration's credentials, deletes its local index immediately.
What actually reaches the AI model?
Only the three excerpts that best match the text of the run you launched, and none when nothing matches well: a few hundred words, sent inside a tagged data block, the same way your active session context travels today. The index itself never leaves your machine, retrieval is pure local search with no AI call, and the excerpts are read as data rather than as instructions, so a document can't tell your agent what to do.
Which tools can Khint index, and what does it read from them?
Jira (issue key, summary, status, description), Confluence (page title and body, per space), Notion (page title and block content) and Linear (identifier, title, state, description). Each toggles independently from Memory's Knowledge section. The first pass fills the index in the background; after that only documents that changed since the last pass are fetched, every 30 minutes or on demand with Sync now.
Does Knowledge cost credits?
No. Indexing makes no AI calls at all, and retrieval is local BM25 full-text search that answers in milliseconds. There's no embeddings service to pay for and no vector database to run. The only cost is the few hundred extra words the excerpts add to a run that found a match, and the normal per-run rounding usually absorbs them.
Who sees what? How are permissions handled?
Khint indexes with each user's own credentials, so every person's index contains exactly what their Jira or Confluence account can already see, and nothing more. There's no central copy and no access-control re-mapping to get wrong. An index is also never carried into a shared team pack or a starter pack: what your colleague clones is the agent, not your documents.
What happens when I switch a source off, or leave the company?
Toggling a source off deletes its local copy on the spot, and so does forgetting that integration's credentials. Deleting your Khint account purges every indexed source. Signing out on its own keeps the index, exactly as it keeps your local history, so coming back doesn't mean a full re-sync.
