Custom AI component to open the detail screen

I’m finding the custom AI component to be one of my favorite glide features. The one thing i cant get it do do is to open the detail screen of the current item. I have an image and title in the custom collection built with the ai component.

I have selected the image and specified open navigation show details screen from the actions menu and i see the hover icon although it doesn’t link anywhere.

Is there a way to see / edit what the AI is mapping for the action of a custom component?

thanks

Yes, you can edit that in the Actions section, located in the right-side panel of the AI Component.

i have tried that many times but the link goes nowhere. i have selected the image and applied an action to navigate to the details screen but the app just sits there…

you must have some extra sensory power. i removed an unused container on the page and voila the link works! thanks

Naturally they still link to that action if you inspect the code under the hood, but sometimes it just doesn’t work. You have to test thoroughly with the production app, double down on telling it to stick to the tied action, and hope it will work (I hate this part).

the interesting thing about Glide’s AI is that it seems to have a mind of its own. It adds some interesting parts (albeit without any actual data) and I have lost the ability to link to the detail screen.

i have tried EVERYTHING. I have an image component and a title to the custom card collection. when I ask the AI to add a link to this items detail screen the only link that ever gets added is a link to the glide homepage.

Other gen AI’s provide an explanation behind the reasoning for what they just did. (e.g. perplexity.ai, co-pilot, ChatGPT, …). Is this on the roadmap for Glide? Because I would love to know if my simple usecase why it thinks I want to link to the glide homepage and ONLY the glide home page no matter how nicely I ask it to link to the details screen.

I will buy anyone a beer who can let me know how to solve this headscratcher.

You can just ask it to explain what it’s trying to do, it will likely add a text somewhere in the component for you, then you can delete that step and proceed with your actual fix.
