GenAI in SnapApp

Generative AI (GenAI) is a subset of artificial intelligence focused on creating new content, such as text/text summaries, images, audio, video, or code based on the collective knowledge acquired from a Large Language Model (LLM) and, importantly, grounded in the specific data you desire including Websites, GCS Buckets, REST APIs, Cloud SQL dbs, Google Drive and of course documents and data stored in SnapApp. It can can be used to generate comments, determination, and replies. It can also summarize documents and search them using human-like queries. It can also be used to generate code snippets, documents, presentations, images, audio and video files.

GenAI in SnapApp

Before using these features, administrators must enable Generative AI Text Generation, Image Generation, and Search within the Global Settings.

To maintain transparency, you can also enable AI Disclosure Notifications to show a custom message whenever GenAI features are used in your app.

Beyond simple content creation, GenAI can be used for:

• Generating full Records and Child Records.
• Creating Slides, Documents, and Custom Functions.
• Performing Native Generative Search or Document Search.

Generate Text in Text Fields

You can automate text generation in any Text or LongText field by providing a prompt. To streamline this for users, you can use a formula to pre-populate a prompt based on other fields. For example, a description field could use a formula like: "=Create a professional product description for a [[type]] product called [[name]]"

Generate Text in Pages

Quickly add content to SnapApp pages by selecting a Typography block and clicking the settings cog. You can use:

• Full Generate Text: Opens a modal with specific parameters for content creation.
• Generate Text: Allows for a freeform prompt.

Generate Text in Expression

Developers can use the GENERATE_TEXT() function within the Expression Builder to generate content programmatically based on application logic.

Generate Text with Image in Expression

Use the GENERATE_TEXT_WITH_IMAGE() function to generate descriptive text or analysis based on an image provided in the expression.

Generate Images in Fields

Users can generate images directly within an Image Field by entering a descriptive prompt, making it easy to create visual assets on the fly.

Generate Images in Pages

To add visuals to a page, select an Image Block, click the settings cog, and use the Generate Image button to open the AI creation modal.

Generate Images in Expression

Images can be generated dynamically using the GENERATE_IMAGE() function within the Expression Builder.

Advanced Generative Features

Native Generative Search

This tool understands natural language questions and creates SQL select queries to retrieve data. Powered by Gemini-1.5-flash, it is ideal for aggregations, filtering, and schema-based queries (e.g., “Which product has the highest sales?”).

Conversation Summarization

In the Peek View or activity feeds, GenAI provides:

• Generative Summary: A context-aware summary of a conversation.
• Feed Autocomplete: Suggestions for replies directly in the text box.
• Quick Replies: Context-based buttons for fast responses.

Document Search

DocSearch sifts through documents stored in SnapApp to produce summarized answers with referential citations. Clicking a summary citation will open the relevant page of the source document.
