Use case
Find that one message without scrolling
You know someone sent the door code, the invoice number or the name of the restaurant. Ask your AI to find it, and it quotes the message with the sender, the chat and the date.
Free to start. No install. Every send needs your OK.
The problem
Chat apps have a search box, but it only matches the exact words. If you remember what a message was about and not how it was written, you end up scrolling.
It gets worse across chats: was the address in the family group, in a direct message or in the trip planning chat?
How ConnectChats handles it
Your AI app calls these ConnectChats tools when you ask. The code on each card is the tool it uses.
-
Searches every shared chat
Your AI searches all your shared chats at once, or one chat when you name it. When the first words find nothing, it tries others: door code, entry code, key box.
search_messages -
Narrows to one person
Name a chat or a person and your AI looks it up first, then searches only there.
list_chats -
Reads around the match
Once it finds the message, your AI can read the messages around it, such as the reply that changed the time.

Honest limits
- Search covers only the messages ConnectChats stores. A newly linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then everything after.
- On the free plan a search covers your most recent 5,000 messages, and messages are kept for 30 days.
- Text inside photos, files and voice notes is not searchable. Captions are.
- One search returns up to 50 matches. Your AI can run more searches with other words, and searches are not counted.
Questions
Can it find messages from years ago?
No. When you link a chat app, ConnectChats imports the last 200 messages of each chat and stores everything after that. On the free plan messages are kept for 30 days.
Does it search by meaning or by exact words?
ConnectChats matches the words your AI sends. Your AI covers the meaning by trying several phrasings, which is why a vague question still finds the message.
Can it search one person's messages only?
Yes. Name the chat or the person and your AI keeps the search to that chat.
Can it search voice notes?
Not yet. Voice notes appear as a placeholder with their length, and transcription is not available yet.
