nao indexes your codebase to provide fast, relevant answers and code suggestions, with the context of your existing repository and data schema.
How does this help nao agent?
  • It gives the agent the full context of your repository – its structure, and code style
  • It gives the agent precise context on your data schema – to make sure the generated code matches your data
  • It allows the agent to answer questions about your codebase or data warehouse

​
What is indexed?

  • All files in your repository – except those in .gitignore or .naoignore
  • All table schemas in your data warehouse

​
Is indexing automatic?

If you selected “auto-indexing” at onboarding:
  • When opening a new folder / data connection, the indexing will be launched automatically and will take a few minutes to complete.
  • Re-indexing will be automatically triggered every 10 minutes.
If not:
  • You can trigger manual indexing from the settings / AI models panel
  • You can also re-activate auto-indexing from this panel

​
How can I check the indexing status?

  • Go to the settings / AI models panel to check the status of both codebase & warehouse indexing
