Troubleshooting

"Couldn't determine your current location"

Check the Location permission; if it still fails, name a city ("Seoul weather"). The first fix can take a few seconds.

"… Access Needed"

Press Open System Settings on the card or enable Searchemist in System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security. If the app is missing from the list, quit and reopen it, then ask again.

Messages cannot be sent

Automation for Messages is off. Enable Searchemist ▸ Messages in System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Automation.

⌘Space opens Spotlight

Check that Settings ▸ General ▸ Open with ⌘Space says it is working. If not, turn it on again and log out and back in if macOS asks.

"I wasn't sure what you meant…" keeps appearing

The command fell through to web search. Use the "Words it understands" tables and Date & time phrases to include a verb and a time. On a 16 GB+ Mac, the 2.6B model in Settings ▸ Models is more accurate.
