Hey folks ,
Whats the best way to update a column entry after the fact.
For example , I have generated a summary for a topic using computed ai column. But now I want the user to be able to adjust the reading level of this i.e 5th grade level to be updated to 10th grade reading level.
Cheers
Do you mean you want to update the prompt you used initially? Do you use 5th grade as a base?
If itâs the case, you can have a user-specific input for the grade level, and reference it in your prompt.
User should be able to choose the reading level before generating the summary or be able to change it afterward
Yeah then I think it still applies. You can have a choice component to point to that column, and reference it in your prompt.
Forgive me , what would that look like in the columns or which columns to use?
Choice component for the different grade optionsâŚA template prompt? Or would that Message to chatgpt(no history comlumn) wokr?
Choice component for the options, then you use a template prompt to reference that choice.
Finally, whatever youâre using for the AI part, feed the prompt to it to get a new answer.
So hereâs my column set up currently.
User can select âtopic introductionâ to generate text. They can then choose the Student Level ie 6th Grade and this should update the original generated prompt.
Am I missing something here?
Your prompt is still not using that Student level at all. The prompt is still static, so changing the student level is not modifying the prompt, so itâs not going to have any bearing on the AI response.
The template should be dynamically modifying the prompt. Instead you are trying to use a template to modify the AI response. That response most likely has nothing to replace so the template probably isnât doing much of anything right now.
Itâs the prompt that needs to become dynamic from a template column.
So what would need to be changed? If I change the system prompt to the template I get an error
Sorry, I havenât used any of the AI stuff. But, whatâs the error?
To be clear, you are not trying to use the existing template created from the AI response as the prompt correct? That wouldnât make sense. The template should contain your original prompt, along with a replacement for the grade level.
Glide cannot make this change because it would introduce the following cycle of dependencies in your columns:
Notes/New Column â
Notes/Teacher_topic_introduction â
Notes/New Column
i guess because it cant complete the loop like this
Itâs cyclic because you are trying to use a response to build a prompt to build a response to build a prompt etc. etc. etc.
Build the correct prompt the first time and you will get the correct response. Donât mess with the response. Mess with the prompt, And the response will change accordingly.
To put it a different way with an analogyâŚIf I ask you a question and you give me an answer that Iâm not happy with, I respond by asking a better question. I donât take your answer and inject my own words into it. My question is the prompt and your answer is the response.
If Iâm following all this correctly, you should be setting the Grade selection in a user specific column, which feeds into the template, which in turn is used in the AI Prompt.
Youâve got a way with words @Darren_Murphy That worked as expected.
Not the first time youâve helped me out. Much appreciated.
Cheers @Jeff_Hager also.
P.S Glide community is one of the best. No doubt about it
Good to hear that it worked.
