Using Semantic Search

Semantic Search: Find by Meaning, Not Just Keywords

Unlike traditional search that matches exact words, Debrief.AI's semantic search understands what you mean, not just what you type.

How Semantic Search Works

Search for "budget discussion" and find debriefs that mention:

  • "Pricing conversation"
  • "Talked about costs"
  • "Money matters"
  • "Financial concerns"
  • "Investment decision"

The AI understands these are all related concepts.

Search Examples

What You SearchWhat You'll Find
"budget talks"Conversations about money, pricing, costs
"follow up needed"Action items, pending tasks, reminders
"positive meeting"Conversations with good outcomes
"concerns about project"Worries, issues, problems discussed
"contract negotiation"Deals, agreements, terms discussions
"John mentioned deadline"Time-sensitive items about John

Search Tips

  • Use natural language — Search like you speak
  • Be conceptual — "important clients" finds key accounts
  • Try different phrasings — If one doesn't work, rephrase
  • Combine terms — "budget + John" finds budget talks with John
  • Use questions — "What did Sarah say about pricing?"

Filtering Results

After searching, you can filter by:

  • 📅 Date range — Last week, month, or custom
  • 👤 Contact — Specific person
  • Has action items — Only debriefs with tasks
  • ⏱️ Recording length — Short or long debriefs

Pro Tips
