Tools

Introduction

The Tool feature helps to construct more complex prompts easily. Generally, a tool includes one or many input fields, which serve as variables for crafting a more detailed prompt. This simplifies the interaction with AI, as users only need to provide the dynamic content, and our tool handler will take care of the rest. There are two types of tools: LLM Tools and Smart Tools.

  • LLM tools allow users to only need to give some small of inputs, and these will be sent to predefined prompts to be processed by LLMs. Each tool acts as a template that outlines the necessary components of a prompt, allowing users to focus on content rather than format. It is is especially beneficial for users who frequently generate similar prompts and wish to streamline their workflow.

  • Smart Tools extend the capabilities of LLM Tools by incorporating Python code execution for data extraction and processing. The integration of Python enables users to perform complex calculations, data transformations, and other advanced operations beyond the scope of standard LLM Tools functionality.

Usage

To use a tool, click on Default tool button below the prompt input field and you will see a list of available tools in the right column of the page. When you click on one of these tools, the input section is modified and you will see the inputs that the tool expects. After you fill these in and submit your choices, the tool will respond with output in your current conversation. You will then fall back into the default conversation mode and you can interact with the response from your tool with replies or follow up.

Within a conversation you might find you benefit from using many tools. You might start with one tool to get strategy advise. Then you might use a SQL tool to write a query to produce some follow up analysis. And finally you might use a writing tool to take your results and write them up in fashion targeted to the audience for your results.

Define your own tools

In the following sections, we will show you how to use our default tools for your daily tasks. To define a custom tool, learn more at Develop Your Own Tools.
