Can I trigger an AI Fields to refresh via automation?

​@Cassy_Amelia You might be able to do this with the following setup, though I haven’t tried such a thing:

1. Create a “dummy” field that contains a single line text value.
2. Use this field as an input for each of your AI fields.
3. Have your automation fill this “dummy” field with some short, random value. You might need a simple script block to do so. Something like: output.set(“random”, Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 10));

If it works, then the automation should fill the “dummy” field with 8 random characters. Upon seeing this, each AI field agent should react and “refresh.”

HTH,

Hey ​@Cassy_Amelia,

The approach mentioned by Steve above is probably what I would suggest doing as well. However, also do remember that automations themselves have Generate Text with AI actions. 

So you might want to explore that option as well.

​@Mike_AutomaticN good call! I forgot about the Generate text with AI option, which would be easier for many to set up. Thanks for adding this to the discussion.

Hey ​@Stephen_Juth!!! I hate to do this, but how come you did not sign up to the Airtable Hackathon yet!? 👮🏼👮🏼👮🏼👮🏼

I’d love to have you onboard lol. Make sure to sign up!! I’ll be counting on it! 😂

​@Mike_AutomaticN Haha! Thanks for the invite. What are the dates for this event?

​@Stephen_Juth it will be a 48hs window in Nov.  Exact dates to be defined, but we should expect that to be within the last 2 weeks of Nov probably!

​@Mike_AutomaticN Thanks for the feedback. I hope to make it, but it won’t be easy, since the end of November will be a bit hectic with Thanksgiving and other family obligations.

Thank you so much ​@Stephen_Juth and ​@Mike_AutomaticN I will play around with the script idea! 

I did see there is Generate Text with AI within automations, but I wanted the option to be able to run each field separately and adjust the prompts within the field instead of going into the automation setup every time.

:) Many thanks again!

You’re welcome, ​@Cassy_Amelia!
