Marimo's AI Chat is unaware of its own documentation #5379
Description
Describe the bug
In using the AI chat feature of Marimo, I've noticed a few times in a row that it is unaware of its own features. The screenshot below is an example where the AI assistance returns an answer that, while looking plausibly correct, won't work first-try.
In this particular example, what I would have expected the AI assistance to return is the ability to use the mo.download() functionality.
Specifics aside, I think it would be awesome for Marimo if Marimo's own docs were part of a simple RAG system within Marimo. Alternatively, the more general way to handle this feature would be to implement the @source functionality that Cursor has. In either case, the effect on Marimo usability would be of chefs-kiss level!
(With all that said, I am aware that every team's bandwidth is going to be limited, so please feel free to prioritize accordingly!)
