I found that adding a checkbox field to trigger the AI block made things more flexible—lets me run it only when I want, instead of every time the record changes.

Hey ​@Devavella,

Not exactly sure what you are making specific reference to, but jus in case it helps do remember that you can toggle off the automatic generation of the AI content. That means that you could and should re-run it manually whenever you need/want. -see screenshot below!
