When reviewing Q&A items, Daedaline automatically searches for semantically similar questions that have already been answered elsewhere in the project. This lets you quickly reuse or adapt existing answers rather than drafting a response from scratch.
How similarity search works
When you open a Q&A item in the detail panel, Daedaline runs a similarity search in the background. It looks for other questions in the project that are semantically close to the current one and already have answers.
Results appear in the Similar Questions panel within the detail view. The search excludes the current item and only surfaces questions that have been answered.
Reviewing similar questions
Each result in the Similar Questions panel shows:
- The question text (truncated if long — hover to see the full text in a tooltip)
- An answer preview (truncated — hover to see the full answer)
- Two hover actions:
- Open question — navigates to that Q&A item so you can review it in full
- Copy answer — copies the answer text to your clipboard with a confirmation notification
Using a similar answer
If an existing answer closely matches what you need:
- Hover over the similar question result.
- Click Copy answer.
- Open the edit mode for the current Q&A item.
- Paste the copied answer and adjust it as needed.
- Save your changes.
When no similar questions are found
If no sufficiently similar answered questions exist, the Similar Questions panel displays an empty state: “No similar questions found.” This means the current question is distinct from all others in the project and will need an original answer.
As more questions are answered over time, the similarity search becomes increasingly useful — earlier answers inform later ones, reducing duplicated effort across a Q&A process.
