AI Field Agents: Alpha Release

We’re excited to introduce AI Field Agents – an upgrade that brings the power of AI directly into your existing field types. Designed to work behind the scenes, this new mode provides dynamic value generation, classification, and recommendations while keeping your schema consistent.
‍

Key highlights

• Integrated AI Assistance: Empower your SmartDoc and Single Select fields with AI logic that generates, categorizes, or recommends values without a change in field type.
• Seamless Conversion: Easily switch an existing field into AI mode (and back) while preserving your data and settings.
• Visual Cues: Fields enabled with AI are marked with clear icons or color dots to signal when AI is active or when content is generated by AI.
• Enterprise-Ready: Built with robust governance, audit logging, and a simple condition builder, this feature delivers trusted AI performance with admin oversight.
• Expanded Capabilities: Alongside core field enhancements, additional enhancements include support for internet search and communication with AI services to retrieve logos and more.

How it works

• Configuration Made Simple: In the field settings modal, users can toggle AI Field Agent mode. When turned on, the field will show an AI-enabled configuration form with basic setup options and visible indicators for AI-generated content.
• Dual Execution Options: The feature supports both manual “Run Agent” actions and automatic execution triggered by field updates, along with simple conditions to manage auto-run behavior.
• Transparent Operation: Each AI run is logged in the record’s metadata. When a field is processing, a “Generating…” placeholder is displayed, and upon completion, success messages or error indicators are shown.
• Backend Integration: New endpoints and services enable smooth communication with the AI backend, ensuring that every AI-processed update, including web searches for additional data, is secure and traceable.

This alpha release lays the foundation for smarter, more reactive fields without disrupting your current setup. The feature is available to select SmartSuite Workspaces who have agreed to help SmartSuite test this new and innovative capability.

Additional information will be made available as SmartSuite broadens the availability of Field Agents over the coming weeks.
