Announcing our Community AI Assistant

Hi everyone, Cam here from Xano's support team. In today's session, we're veering away from our usual tutorials and instead, we're focusing on a groundbreaking tool created by Ilin, one of our Developer Advocates at Xano. This revolutionary AI tool is designed to assist both beginners and experts by answering complex questions using data from our website, developer docs, and community forum.

Introducing Xano's AI Tool:

This AI tool is accessible directly from the Xano community forum. Here’s how you can leverage it:

1. Access: Navigate to the bottom right of the Xano community forum to find the 'Ask AI' tool.
2. Interaction: Click on it to open a modal where you can type your questions or choose from example queries.
3. Answers with Citations: The AI analyzes your question and fetches relevant information, providing responses with direct citations so you can verify the source material.

Real-world Applications:

The AI tool is incredibly versatile, handling a range of queries:

• Importing Data: Ask how to import data from existing systems and receive detailed, cited responses.
• Coding Questions: Inquire about adding key-value pairs to an object or manipulating data structures, and get precise instructions.

Highlighted Features:

• Citation-Based Responses: Ensures reliability and transparency of the information provided.
• Prompt Flexibility: While prompting remains crucial, the AI offers guidance on both generic queries and specific technical issues.
• Training and Feedback: Improve the tool's accuracy by providing feedback through thumbs up or down and offering additional information.

Advanced Query Example:

Let's explore a more technical question: dealing with arrays and specific values using Xano's transform engine. The AI promptly returns a syntax-specific response, showcasing its deep understanding of Xano functionalities, such as filtering arrays based on certain conditions.

User Engagement and Support:

While this AI tool enhances the self-help options, the Xano support team remains at your service for in-depth queries, build assistance, and billing inquiries. However, we're eager to hear how this AI tool aids your development journey.

Feedback and Interaction:

Share your experiences and how the AI tool has impacted your project development. Engage with us through comments, the community forum, or directly within your Xano instance by starting a conversation via the support link.
