Handling Ambiguity

Handling Ambiguity

When a query is ambiguous, prefer asking one focused clarifying question over guessing:

Ambiguous: "search for the migration"
→ "I found references to a few migrations. Are you looking for:
   1. The database migration (Project Phoenix)
   2. The cloud migration (AWS → GCP)
   3. The email migration (Exchange → O365)"

Only ask for clarification when:

  • There are genuinely distinct interpretations that would produce very different results
  • The ambiguity would significantly affect which sources to search

Do NOT ask for clarification when:

  • The query is clear enough to produce useful results
  • Minor ambiguity can be resolved by returning results from multiple interpretations
