Hi All

I am working on version 24.3. I have started exploring Appian AI capabilities and to start of with I find a!recordsChatField() a great component to provide to the user. So as a use case; I have a record which has user filters available. I want to use a!recordsChatField() so that we can provide better experience to the users so that they can use natural language to get filtered records rather than using user filters of records. I have gone through the forum but didn't find any handy tutorial which provides practical example of using the a!recordsChatField(). The only thing i was able to find is the document for the component:

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/24.3/Records_Chat_Component.html

Can anyone please guide how can I use this field. Any link to academy online for the same will also be useful. 

Thanks in advance!!

    Hello [mention:31daa4543d444c5293dacb3938c72b8d:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] 

    The Record Chat Component only returns fields that are part of the record type and match the values you provide. Make sure your prompt uses the actual field names—similar words or synonyms might not work. For related records, only the fields included in the configuration will be available. Any fields not defined in the record or related record setup won’t be recognized. Appian notes that this feature can sometimes return inaccurate or made-up information.
