Hello there, I have a plan that I generate through Glide AI Generate Text and it takes a bit to load. How can I show a hint while it is loading? In the front-end I am showing the AI result column and I tried to show the hint while the column is empty but it won’t show. In the backend while the text is loading it has a loading indicator. What is the value to that? Thank you!! ---

If you have an If-Then-Else column to check if the AI column value is empty or not, does it return the right state? ---

Hi @ThinhDinh Does the above work? I tried checking the state, but it gets in “loading” mode as well. Thanks! ---

I guess that doesn’t work. Maybe you can add a column to count the text length for the AI result? I haven’t tried, probably that gets stuck in a loading state as well. ---

Yeah unfortunately that doesn’t work either, and I need a solution for this as well. Is it possible to create a CSS that displays a component based on the visibility of another component? For example, could we add a Hint Box to indicate loading and ensure it’s visible only when the Rich Text Component (AI result) is not displayed on the screen? ---

Or maybe just let the app see an AI column as empty when the full response isn’t available… ---

It appears as loading I will change my flow to address this Thanks!
