Note: 

Generated scripts may not always be accurate, as is common with any AI. However, we are constantly refining it to maximize its reliability.

Generated scripts are adaptive. The same prompt may generate different scripts at different times based on how much the machine has learned.

6. Set up Zia AI Assistant

6.1. Prerequisites

1. If you choose Zoho GenAI as the LLM vendor, no API key is required because it is already integrated with Zoho Creator. You can skip directly to the Configure Zia section.
   

If you've chosen OpenAI as the GenAI, ensure that you are on a paid plan and have sufficient API credits for your OpenAI API key to work.

1. You must have a valid OpenAI account along with an API key from your OpenAI account to use this feature in Creator. To get the OpenAI API key,
1. Navigate to Settings in your OpenAI account and select the Billing section.
   
2. Click the Add Payment Details button in the Settings page and add your required details.
   
   
3. Next, navigate to the API keys section and click Create new secret key.
   
   
4. Enter a name (optional) and choose the required project.
   
5. Click Create secret key. The key will be generated. You can copy and use it in Creator's Zia settings.
   
   
2. Before you can create apps or forms using Zia, ensure to configure your OpenAI API key in Zia Settings and enable the Zia - Open AI integration for your Creator account.
   

Google

info: If you've chosen Google as the GenAI, ensure you have a Google Cloud project with billing enabled and access to the Google AI API. This is required as the API is part of Google Cloud services, which need an active project and billing setup to manage usage and ensure access to generative capabilities.

To use Google with Creator, you’ll need a valid Google Cloud account. To get the Google AI API key:

1. Go to the Google AI Studio.
   

2. Create a new project or select an existing one. Click Get API key in the top menu bar.
   

3. Click +Create API key to generate a new API key. Your existing keys will also be listed in this page.
   

4. Copy and paste this key into Zia Settings in Creator when Google is selected as the vendor.
   

   Note:
   - Make sure the Generative AI API has sufficient quota and is available in your region.
   - Check Google AI documentation for any access limitations. 

Anthropic

If you’re using Anthropic you must be on a supported plan with API access.

To use Anthropic AI models in Creator, you’ll need an Anthropic account with API access and an Anthropic API key.

1. Sign in to your Anthropic account.

2. Click API keys after expanding the left pane.
   

3. Click +Create Key.
   

4. Enter your key name and click Add to continue.
   

5. Copy the generated API key and paste it into the Zia Settings section in Creator when Anthropic is selected as the vendor.
   

 Note: Ensure your account has API access and is on a paid plan if required. Refer to Anthropic documentation for API usage limits and billing details. 

6.2. Configure Zia

Note: Only the super admin and admins can configure Zia in Creator.

1. Navigate to Operations in your Creator account.
   
2. Click Zia in the Applications card. The Settings screen will appear.
   
Note: If you have already added an API key or if you're using Zoho GenAI as the LLM vendor, then proceed to step 6.

3. Select the preferred GenAI model is selected from the drop-down in the Configuration tab and click the Add API Key button. A popup will appear.
   
4. Enter the API Key of the selected vendor and click Add. 
   
5. To edit or update the key after adding it, click Edit. update the key in the pop-up that appears, and click Save.
   
6. Toggle the Access button beside Deluge Assistance in the Enable Features section. This button will be disabled by default. Enabling it will allow you to use the combined capabilities of Zia and GenAI to generate scripts.
   

7. Generate a script with the help of AI

Note: You can generate scripts using Zia from the Deluge editor across any workflows or functions. For demonstration purposes, we've used the Deluge editor in the On Success workflow action to illustrate how to create scripts with Zia.

1. Create a workflow to execute on a preferred event and click Add New Action > Deluge Script to open the Deluge Editor as shown in the video below.
   
   
2. Click the Zia icon () in the editor to open the Zia Assistant chat window.
   
3. Type your prompt in the window that slides up. The relevant script based on your prompt will be generated by the Zia Deluge Assistant.
   
4. You can either copy the script by clicking the copy icon (), or drag and drop it into the editor from Zia.

Note: 

- Once you exit the Deluge editor, the prompts and responses within the Zia Assistant chat window will be cleared.

- You can use the thumbs up or down buttons to provide feedback on the generated script. By doing so, your prompt and script are shared with us for improving Zia's performance.

7.1. Prompt guidelines

1. It is recommended to use clear and appropriate language when entering prompts. The use of harsh or unclear language will result in inaccurate responses. For example, if you want to send an email to specific email addresses stored in a field of a form, it’s advisable to clearly mention the form name, the email field name, the criteria for selecting the emails, and the subject content in the prompt to generate a more precise and accurate script.
2. You can specify the component name, link name, field name, or field link name along with the prompt to effectively utilize your created components for generating accurate scripts.
3. Examples of well-structured prompts:
1. “Create a script for sending email notifications to the address in the 'Email' field of the 'Orders' form to track the delivery of a product.”
2.  “Write a script to update an element in the collection variable and return the updated variable.”

8. Manage API Usage

1. Navigate to Operations > Zia > Usage and click the button. You will be redirected to the selected GenAI developer platform login page. You can login and view the monthly usage of APIs in your organization from the GenAI vendor Dashboard.
   

9. Limitations

1. The script generated may not be accurate, which is also the case with any GenAI. However, we are working on improving this.
2. The generated scripts are adaptive, indicating the same prompt may yield different responses at various times based on how much the machine has learned.
3. Based on your prompt and requirements, Deluge Zia assistance can generate scripts with capabilities like deleting records or modifying critical data. It is recommended to carefully review the generated code before execution to prevent unintended data loss or changes.
4. OpenAI API Rate limits: Zia does not consumes any AI calls or API calls from Zoho Creator. However, API rate limits may still apply. These limits are restrictions that the LLM provider imposes on the number of times a user or client can access their services within a specified period of time and vary based on their usage tier and the model consumed.
5. Rate limits for LLM providers can be found in their respective official documentation.
   
1. OpenAI rate limits
   
2. Google Gemini rate limits
   
3. Anthropic rate limits
Note: Attempting to create multiple apps at once can result in rate limit errors. For instance, if you're creating multiple apps in quick succession, you may exceed the 15 RPM limit and cause an error.
While generous, these limits can still impact high-frequency operations, especially in rapid app creation scenarios.
6. Along with your prompts, our system will add supplementary prompts to enhance the accuracy of the script generation process. These system prompts will also contribute to your GenAI usage.
7. A user can only give up to 20 prompts per minute.
8. Zia Deluge Assistance is not available in page scripts and application IDE.
9. The script generated by Zia will not include custom functions calls, App variables, Connections, and User details in your Zoho Creator Account.
