Content Ingestion

Search AI ingests messages from topics across streams or channels. Each sync ingests content from the past 30 days. Existing content older than this timeframe is automatically removed from Search AI. Depending on message size, up to three messages may be concatenated into a single ingested document. The content field in each document includes the channel name, topic, message text, and message author. Additional metadata is stored in separate fields within the document.

​

RACL Support

Search AI enforces access control for Zulip content at the channel level. Access is determined by the stream type.

​

Access Control for Zulip Streams

Each message in Zulip is linked to a stream, which can be public, private, or web-public. When content is ingested, the stream identifier is stored in the sys_racl field: Search AI supports automatic resolution of permission entities for Zulip streams. It automatically identifies users with access to each stream and associates them with the corresponding permission entity — no manual API mapping is required.
