AI-Generated Entry Response #

You can create a form with a question to ask your users and then the AI will provide you feedback about the form submission based on your prompt. This response can be viewed on the Everest Forms > Entries. To set up this, follow the steps below.

• Add a single-line text field for getting the user’s input.
• Add the AI field.
• Go to Advanced Options of the AI field and write a prompt.
• You can base your prompt on the input field by selecting the field from <>.

This AI field will be hidden and the response will be shown in the Everest Forms > Entries. Make sure the prompt you have written in well structured for the AI to understand it.

Once the user submits the form, you can check the feedback from the API based on the given input from the Entries.
