Creating a new record using Google Assistant or Gemini

[bmcdowell]

I am curious if there is a way to fill out a form using Google Assistant or Gemini? I saw a demo a while back where an iPhone app would ask questions and you would respond filling out the form. Is this possible in appsheet? 

Thanks,

Brian

Hey

The adding of Gemini to AppSheet was very recent and to my knowledge it currently only exists as a tool to help you build apps, not much action based stuff for now. 

Out of all honesty its not something i would put much stock.  i could see an app running Gemini for actions having some unexpected behaviour.

I'm unaware of any AppSheet- or Google-provided means to do that. It's possible a third-part may have a solution like that. @MultiTech may have an idea?

🤣 @Steve The new Gemini stuff will do that, I believe.  I'm not a part of the testing for that, so not really aware of how things work.  In the demos I've seen, there does appear to be a mode where you can "talk to the app" and it will make edits to your data.

• I don't have anything premade for this, like a template app or something.  I've got the ChatGPT in AppSheet video series I did a while back.  
  • The videos are old, so the models used are no longer supported; and the prompt syntax has changed to "Chat Syntax", so that aspect of these videos are "stale".
  • But the bones of creating the system, the tables/columns/formulas/etc., these remain the same.

You could accomplish this through a pretty simply prompt I bet, where you send off a request to OpenAi (or some other Ai text-gen service) with the appropriate record data and instructions on what changes you want made.  

• If you tell it to return JSON, and nothing but JSON, you can get away with having the Ai put together the whole API update object you need - and you can literally just pass that back to the AppSheet API as an edit - and it works. 🤓

It's often surprising how easy it can be to get the pipeline for these systems working.  It's the prompts that take forever to get right. 😉 

You could probably ask Appster how to do this.

Thanks for responses. I built my wife an app to track her real estate hours. She would much rather respond to a few prompts than filling out a form.
