Swiftask indexes your Are.na blocks to provide meaning-based search. Stop searching by keywords, start searching by ideas and concepts.
Result:
Save valuable time by instantly finding your inspirations and references, even if you forgot the exact terms.
Traditional keyword search limits your creativity
On Are.na, your collections grow over time. When looking for a specific reference, keyword search often fails because it doesn't understand the deep meaning of your blocks or the contextual relationships between them.
Main negative impacts:
Swiftask implements semantic search on Are.na. Our AI analyzes the meaning of your blocks and allows you to ask questions in natural language to extract the most relevant information.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Standard Are.na search
You are looking for an image of 'brutalist architecture'. You type the keyword. You only get blocks explicitly tagged with that term. You miss blocks dealing with similar aesthetics but tagged differently.
Semantic search with Swiftask
You ask your Swiftask agent: 'Find me minimalist and massive architectural references'. The AI understands the concept and suggests relevant blocks, even without common keywords.
Enable intelligent search on Are.na in 4 steps
STEP 1 : Connect your Are.na account
Authorize Swiftask to access your Are.na channels via a secure connection to index your blocks.
STEP 2 : AI semantic indexing
The Swiftask agent analyzes and vectorizes the content of your blocks to understand their deep meaning.
STEP 3 : Ask your questions
Query your knowledge base directly in Swiftask using natural language.
STEP 4 : Explore results
Get results ranked by semantic relevance, ready to be reused in your projects.
Advanced features for your collections
The AI analyzes text, metadata, and visual context of blocks to create ultra-precise search vectors.
Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.
Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-are.na@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.
Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
