> This is a great leap forward. However, I can’t believe that hashtag exclusions weren’t part of the spec. Sometimes you want the AI to only see certain hashtags and not see other, more sensitive subjects. Could we have this as an update soon, please?

We are working on [workspaces](https://community.bear.app/t/focus-on-tag-feature-workspace-like-workflow/18916/89) and that will provide a way to scope your data both in the App and in the CLI/MPC 🙂
