When searching People or Companies, a preview panel appears on the right showing:
  • Profile photo and basic info
  • Recent activity
  • Quick actions
This lets you see details without leaving Command K.

Add to List

When viewing a Person or Company in search results, you can quickly add them to any list:
  1. Select the record
  2. Click “Add to List” in the preview panel
  3. Choose the destination list
Type a question in natural language to search with AI:
  • “What did Sarah email me about last week?”
  • “Find all emails about the Q4 budget”
  • “Show me tasks due this week”
AI search understands context and can find information across emails, docs, and records.

Deep Search

Deep Search is Micro’s semantic search layer. It goes beyond keyword matching — it understands the meaning of your query and finds relevant results across your email history, even when the exact words don’t match.

How It Works

When you connect your email, Micro indexes your email history into a searchable semantic database. This powers:
  • AI assistant answers — When you ask the AI a question about past conversations, it uses Deep Search to find relevant emails
  • On-demand autofill — When the AI fills a property, it can search your email history for context
  • Meeting prep — Background research pulls from your full conversation history with a person

What Gets Indexed

Deep Search indexes all of your synced email history — everything Micro ingests is searchable. On free and trial plans, that’s the last 3 years. On paid plans, it’s your full inbox history. New emails are indexed automatically as they arrive.

Email Sync

When you connect a Gmail account, Micro syncs your email history:

Contacts createdAll unique contacts from synced emailsAll unique contacts from synced emails
Deep Search indexedAll synced emailsAll synced emails
After the initial sync, new emails are processed in real time.
Sync happens in two phases. First, your recent sent emails are synced so you see your conversations quickly. Then a full background sync runs for the rest of your history.

Pro Tip

Use Command K as your home base. Instead of navigating through menus, just press ⌘K and type what you want to do—whether that’s finding an email, creating a task, or changing your theme.
