The [Classify Text column](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/classify) takes training data in the form of text values, and known categories for those text values. When it sees new text values without categories provided, it tries to infer the category based on the examples it’s seen.

This is our first Machine Learning plugin! It’s implemented using a [Naive Bayes classifier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naive_Bayes_classifier).

**This is just a proof of concept. Because Glide does not guarantee that all columns are evaluated (it only evaluates columns required to show the current screen), this will usually not produce good results.**

If you keep going, Glide will be able to do machine learning before multi-select 🙂 …

Basic A.I. anytime in the Release Plan? To display empathy messages according to user’s history (what s.he did, said last session, to show care and engage personally)

I think it’s too big of a request. Let’s keep as an input and an output, then we go from there. Just with this alone you would already have a nice bass to do what you want, albeit it contains multiple steps.
