Connectors
Connectors let tCode pull a specific item, an email, a page, a repository, an issue, directly into your next message, using the exact same server-side resolution the tAI web app's own composer uses.
| Command | Searches |
|---|---|
/gmail | Your Gmail messages, by subject. |
/notion | Pages shared with your tAI connection. |
/github | Repositories you own or collaborate on. |
/linear | Issues across your workspace. |

Linking a provider
Each of these needs to be linked to your tAI account first, from tai.artfical.com → Settings → Connectors.
What actually gets sent
What actually gets sent when you attach something is worth being precise about, since it is the reason this system exists as a dedicated set of commands rather than you just pasting content into a prompt yourself: tCode never downloads or holds the full content of an email, a page, or an issue locally.
Searching and the shared alias
Type a command followed by a query and results appear in a live dropdown as you type, the same way command completion already works, see Usage examples for exactly what that looks like and how picking a result attaches it.
Applies to your very next message only
An attached item applies to your very next message only.
Linking lives in the web app, not tCode
Linking and unlinking a connector both happen entirely in the tAI web app's Settings, not in tCode itself.
Scoped to what your account can already see
Each connector only searches within what your account is actually allowed to see through that provider.
Searching with no query at all
A search with no query at all, just the bare command with nothing after it, still returns something for most providers: /gmail alone shows your most recent messages, /github alone shows your repositories sorted by recent activity, which is useful when you want to browse rather than search for something specific by name.
No separate setup inside tCode itself
None of the four connectors require any special setup inside tCode itself beyond being linked in tAI Settings once.
How results are ranked
Results are ranked by relevance to your query where the underlying provider supports that, Gmail and GitHub both do, and by recency where it does not, so the most useful match is usually near the top of the dropdown rather than requiring you to scroll through everything to find it.
