What the Stack Exchange connector can do
Stack Exchange covers question-and-answer data across its network of sites, from coding to math, with filters to control exactly what a response includes. A type.com Space can ask the agent to find questions similar to one it's drafting, pull comments on an answer, or check what's included in a saved filter.
