At a high level, here's how AI works in Tadabase:

1. You Define a Prompt

A prompt is an instruction you give to the AI. It tells the AI what you want it to do. For example:

• "Write a professional email response to this customer inquiry"
• "Generate a product description based on these specifications"
• "Summarize this meeting notes into key action items"

2. You Provide Context

Context is the data the AI will use. This can include:

• Field values from the current record
• Data from connected records
• User input
• System values

3. AI Generates Output

The AI processes your prompt and context to generate appropriate content. This happens in seconds.

4. Result is Used in Your App

The generated content can be:

• Saved to a field
• Displayed on the page
• Used in further processing
• Sent via email or notification

Here are practical examples of how businesses use AI in Tadabase:

• Review Output - Always review AI-generated content before using it
• Use Templates - Create reusable prompt templates for consistency
• Combine with Validation - Use Tadabase rules to validate AI output

Tadabase AI features are available on specific plans. Understanding usage helps you plan effectively:

How AI Usage is Measured

AI usage is tracked by the number of AI operations performed. Each time the AI generates content, it counts as one operation.

Managing AI Usage

• Use AI for high-value tasks where it provides significant benefit
• Cache results when possible rather than regenerating
