GenAI tasks

Build intelligent workflows with GenAI tasks.

GenAI tasks are ongoing operations that continuously monitor specified collections and process documents as they are added or modified.

  • Similar to ETL tasks, a GenAI task extracts content from documents. But instead of sending the content to another database, the task sends it to an AI model (like OpenAI) along with a guiding prompt and a JSON schema that defines the layout for the model's response.
  • When the LLM responds, the GenAI task can use its response to, for example, update the source document with LLM-generated content, or create new documents in the database.
  • GenAI tasks can infuse intelligence into a wide variety of content handling scenarios.
    E.g., they can enrich documents with AI-generated summaries or classifications, translate text into different languages, or generate new content based on existing data.
  • You can easily create GenAI tasks using Studio or the client API.
    When created via Studio, each step of their creation can be easily tested and validated before deployment.
