Working with the AI
How to get the most out of Ion's context-aware AI.
Asking good questions
Ion's AI is only as good as the question you ask. The key: be specific about what you want, and reference real things in your workspace.
Bad: "What's the status of the project?"
Good: "What's blocking the v2.0 launch? Cite the specific tickets and threads."
What the AI can do
- Answer questions with citations from your docs, tickets, and threads.
- Draft documents — PRDs, release notes, standups — in your team's voice.
- Summarize threads — long Slack discussions into 3-bullet summaries.
- Suggest automations — describe the outcome, Ion drafts the flow.
Model routing
Ion supports multiple AI providers (Claude, GPT-4, etc.) and lets you route per-task. For example:
- Drafting docs → Claude (better long-form writing).
- Code analysis → GPT-4 (better at code).
- Quick lookups → a smaller, faster model (lower cost).
Configure this in Workspace settings → AI.
