Smart Skills Application

Description

All Smart Skills are parametrized, which enables you to configure and set up the Smart Skills in the Application tab. The Smart Skills interface gives you the following benefits:

  • A clear and accessible call-to-action button for creating new Smart Skills.

  • Eliminates the need to duplicate existing skills as a starting point.

  • Simplifies and accelerates the creation process.

  • Improves clarity and usability within the Smart Skills configuration interface.

 

Using the Smart Skills application functionality

  1. Go to the application nodes screen. See Application Tab.

  2. Tap the Smart Skills icon.

    A screen appears with two panels:

    Left panel contains the list of smart skills. Tap the kebab icon of each smart skill to activate or deactivate it. When activated, that smart skill appears in the Smart Skills drawer in the multitasking screen and disappears when deactivated.

    Right panel contains the editable fields to adjust the input arguments for each smart skill.

 

The process of creating custom Smart Skills is streamlined for ease of use. Instead of duplicating existing skills, tap + Create Smart Skill button to start from scratch, found at the left panel before the list of Smart Skills. This makes it easier and more intuitive for users to build tailored Smart Skills, enhancing productivity and reducing setup time.
