Yep! AI component does a decent job with this use case. > [@robot \[TUTORIAL\] Build Beastly Choice Components with Glide's AI Component](https://community.glideapps.com/t/tutorial-build-beastly-choice-components-with-glides-ai-component/78321): > > wave Hey Fellow Gliders! The AI Component in Glide is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to developing functionality previously unimaginable. In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to use the AI Component to create a choice component that not only writes the selected value to a column of your choosing (like a typical choice component would do), but additionally trigger actions when any of those choice items are selected!

So…I searched for this before I started since I knew I had seen it before and my prompting skills are…meh. And I guess my search skills too! But this time - got it right! ---

Here are the prompts: putting all the coaching up on prompt usage to work. **First Prompt:** Create a dropdown choice selector with 4 menu items named: Territory List, Seller Coverage, Joint Accounts, Joint Accounts by Type **Add Actions** I then added 4 actions called Action 1, Action 2, Action3, Action 4. **Second Prompt:** When menu item 1 selected, fire action item 1. When menu item 2 selected, fire action item 2. When menu item 3 selected, fire action item 3. When menu item 4 selected, fire action item 4. Finally I changed the ‘Title’ (it was what the choice selector showed on first use) **Third Prompt:** Replace title with “Select a Coverage Report” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/b/7babe29d6eba102d9c935feb753b27861ee4d4a6.png) Tada! ---

BTW…this was all driven from @Darren_Murphy tip: @media only screen and (min-width: 640px) { .mobile { display: none; } } @media only screen and (max-width: 640px) { .desktop { display: none; } } Buttons look good on desktop screens but take up way too much room on a mobile display. I needed something to “click and go” so a choice was the idea but of course their are no actions plus I had to create a ‘table’ for choice items and place to store a ‘result’ in the User table which was just messy. Everything is in containers so it was easy to have the existing container be ‘desktop’ and a new container be ‘mobile’. Glide Component AI to the rescue. Thanks @Mark and @david
