The SmartSimple Cloud '''+AI''' integration gives you the ability to utilize large language models (LLM) from within our business process automation platform. LLMs may be utilized to improve productivity, processes, and outcomes. This article will walk-through how-to setup the integration, outline the two modes (automation and interactive), and delineate some sample scenarios.

=Overview=
 +
There are a number of AI features that can be implemented within SmartSimple including:
  
−
=Overview=
+
* '''[[+AI Directive]]:''' A multi-faceted feature that be used in conjunction with natural language, scripts and the variable processor to perform many time saving tasks such as analyzing text and automatically populating custom fields, summarizing and translating text, populating custom fields with internet-extracted data, converting text into other formats, comparing application requests with program objectives and providing a score, and much more.
−
There are two modes of operation when using SmartSimple Cloud '''+AI''':
+
* '''[[+AI Insights]]:''' Create your own custom AI model for data analysis and reporting across multiple records within a UTA. Trained '''+AI Insight''' models can quickly provide answers that involve aggregation, summarization, and prediction without the need to spend time constructing list view filters and reports. Alternatively create a custom model at the organization level, available in your system header. '''+AI Insight''' models at the Organization level contain uploaded training data.
 +
* '''[[+AI Assistant]]:''' Execute actions at the record level such as updating statuses, modifying field values, or creating new fields, activities, and associations. Instead of finding a field and changing a value, use the hands-free voice interface to update the desired field.
 +
* '''+AI Workflow''': Streamline your workflow process by creating workflow tasks from natural language instructions with AI assistance, eliminating the need for manual task creation and connection.
 +
* '''[[+AI Vision]]:''' Upload an image and have the AI answer specific questions regarding the image contents without having to open and examine the image yourself.
 +
* '''[[Work with +AI]]:''' Interact with the AI at the record level in a conversational manner. Users have the option to use pre-made templates and prompt libraries to expedite common processes.
 +
* '''[[+AI Transcription]]:''' Generate text transcriptions of audio and visual media.
  
−
* '''Interactive Mode:''' This mode of operation occurs on a single object such as a grant application or review. In this scenario, the user can interact with the AI in a call-and-response kind of model. The user might ask the AI to help them rewrite content, translate content into another language, or make content more concise. The user can ask questions (prompts) and follow up with more related questions. The user can also be presented with optional predefined templates to streamline common tasks or actions.
+

−
* '''Automation Mode:''' This mode of operation can occur in various areas of the platform. In this scenario, the system is configured to automatically interact with your chosen 3rd party LLM vendor to do something without manual intervention. For example, the system can be configured to automatically generate an executive summary of an application or a summary of the reviewers’ comments. Applications could be prescreened and recommended or the AI could suggest reviewers with subject matter expertise related to the application.

==Interactive Mode==
 
−
The AI interactive mode is made available through the '''Work with +AI''' feature which can be enabled on nearly every record in the system, including organization profiles, user profiles, and UTA records. In this example, we can configure interactive mode on a UTA to streamline a hypothetical application process. 
 
−
 
 
−
===Configuring Interactive Mode===
 
−
As an example, we can configure the AI on a particular UTA by the following steps:
 
−
 
 
−
# Go to '''UTA '''>''' Configuration Settings''' > '''Level 1/2/3''' tab > '''AI'''. On this page, custom instructions and templates can be set up.
 
−
# On the '''Permissions & Availability''' tab, users can set access to the feature by role, record type, or record status.
 
−
# Click''' Save'''.
 
−
# Navigate to the desired UTA record and select '''Tools''' > '''Work with +AI''' in the top action bar. This will open a modal window into which you can enter your prompts and adjust the '''Temperature''' setting.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
[[File:2023-07-ticket-146788-1-.png|thumb|none|800px|Users with permission may access the interactive AI mode from record pages via the <strong>Tools</strong> menu.]]
 
−
[[File:2023-07-ticket-146788-2.png|thumb|none|800px|In the interactive mode users can enter prompts using natural language, refine the responses by asking follow-up related questions in a conversational format. Users may also select from predefined prompts.]]
 
−
 
 
−
===Setting up Templates===
 
−
Templates can be created to streamline common processes. As an example, let's set up a template that will automatically translate the objectives of a record into another language. Instead of asking the AI to translate the contents this field each time, we can save our query by referencing the field as a variable.
 
−
 
 
−
====Creating a Template====
 
−
# Go to '''UTA''' > ''' Configuration Settings''' > '''Level 1/2/3''' tab > '''AI''' > Click the '''New Template''' button.
 
−
# Under the''' General''' tab, give the template a '''Name''' and a '''Caption'''. The '''Caption''' is what will be surfaced to users during template selection.
 
−
# Enter the template contents in the '''Template''' field. When referencing specific record fields, be sure to use the '''Field Name''' rather than the '''Caption'''. In our example, we can ask the AI to translate the content of a specific field into French by referencing the field name in quotations. <br /> [[File:2023-07-ticket-146788 – 3.png|thumb|none|800px|Templates allow you to reference field names.]]
 
−
# Set who has access to use this template under the '''Permissions & Availability''' tab.
 
−
# Click '''Save'''.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
====Selecting a Template====
 
−
# Go to the desired UTA record > '''Tools''' > '''Work with +AI'''.
 
−
# Select the preferred template from the dropdown. <br /> [[File:2023-07-ticket-146788 – 4.png|thumb|none|800px|When selecting a template, any variables used will automatically resolve in the prompt window.]]
 
−
# Set the desired '''Temperature'''. This setting controls the level of randomness desired from the AI's response. A lower number correlates to a more consistent and repeatable response.
 
−
# Click the '''Send''' button. After a moment, the AI will respond to the request. <br /> [[File:2023-07-ticket-146788 – 5.png|thumb|none|800px|Once the AI returns with a response, you can give it further prompts or select another template.]]
 
−
 
 
−
====Best Practices for Template Prompts====
 
−
When deciding which prompts to use in a template, it can be helpful to test the prompts by going to any UTA record and clicking '''Tools''' > '''Configuration Mode''' > '''Variable Syntax Helper'''. Here, you can test your expressions and see if your variables resolve correctly.

==Using +AI with the Variable Processor==
 +
Once '''+AI''' integration has been set up, the automation mode can be used in various areas of the system. The existing SmartSimple variable processor has been modified in order to allow you to interface with the third-party AI vendor. To familiarize yourself with the syntax and possible statements, you can test the syntax using the '''Variable Syntax Helper''' by opening a object record and going to '''Tools''' > '''Configuration Mode''' > '''Variable Syntax Helper'''.
  
−
* Put the instructions at the start of the prompt and use double quotation marks ( " " ) to separate the instructions from the context
 
−
* Be specific and descriptive about the desired outcome, including details about context, length, format, style, etc
 
−
* Provide an example or desired format in the prompt if necessary
 
  
−
