How it works

In 2024.2, the way in which Suggestion Assistants work has changed from being automatic, to being "on-demand".

In practice, this Suggestion Assistant process is as follows:

• If the conditions for displaying the Suggestion Assistant icons are met (display condition + current user roles) any time after the first save of a record, the system displays the Suggestion Assistant icon
• When the user clicks the Suggestion Assistant icon, the system
  • Retrieves data from the record to substitute into the Retrieval Context prompt
    (for RAG Suggestion Assistant only)
  • Identifies the relevant rows from the configured AI Reference Dataset using data retrieved from the Retrieval Context prompt. The system will retrieve a number of rows according to the configured "Retrieval Sample Size"
    (for RAG Suggestion Assistant only)
  • Retrieves data from the record to substitute into the main Prompt
  • Substitutes the retrieved relevant AI Reference Dataset rows into the main Prompt
    (for RAG Suggestion Assistant only)
  • Sends the Prompt to OpenAI Enterprise
  • Receives the response from OpenAI
  • Stores the suggestions in the configured text field
  • Displays the suggestions to the user

    If the system has a Google API Key setup, the system will translate and display the suggestion to the user in their configured language

• If none of the fields that affect the Suggestion Assistant (ie. None of the fields that have placeholders in the Suggestion Prompt) have been updated since the last time that Suggestion Assistant was viewed by any user, then the Suggestion Assistant just shows the suggestion text stored in the text field without asking OpenAI again.
• If the Suggestion Assistant is configured to be in "expanded" mode, as soon as the Suggestion Assistant icon is visible to a user, it is automatically expanded and the suggestions are automatically retrieved and displayed.
• Users will have the option to Dismiss the Suggestions.

  Clicking on Dismiss will hide that Suggestion Assistant for that user, for that record until one of the fields that affects the Suggestion Assistant has been modified.
