Create an AI index from administration

To provide an AI-powered search in the future or data for your own proprietary chatbot, an administrator must first enable the AI feature, and the ability to create an index. After that is done, you can create the actual index.

Before you begin:

  • To access this premium feature, you must purchase it separately. Please contact your Vasont customer representative.

  • Although you can enable the creation of an AI index, create an index and add data to it, be aware of the following restrictions:

    • Users cannot manually add, update, or remove data from an index
    • Images are not supported in an AI index
    • Data stored in an AI Index is not currently used in any searches in Inspire

Tips and tricks

You can create one or both of the following indices, depending on which ones you have enabled:

  • Approve. Create this index if you want to build up the content that can be available in a chat bot you provide to your customers. This index stores data automatically when a user approves or signs a component in the Components browser.
  • Submit. Create this index if you want to build up the content that can be used for a future AI-powered search. This index stores data automatically when authors Submit and Save a component in the Oxygen editor.
You can only create one index per action. For example, if you create an index for the Approve action, and then try to create another index for it, you see the following error:

To create an AI index:

  1. From the Administration menu, select Advanced Settings, and then AI configuration management.

    You won't see this option unless you have purchased the AI premium feature, enabled it, and logged out and back in again.

  2. On the AI configuration management screen, click Create.
  3. On the Create AI Index screen:

    1. In Action, select an option. Each option refers to the type of index you have enabled and the action that a user takes to add content to that index.
    2. Click Create.

      Results: You see the index listed on the AI configuration management screen.

      • Inspire now automatically adds content to the appropriate index when a user performs the selected Action.
        • If you need to reference the AI Index ID, you can quickly copy it to the clipboard by going to the ID's row and clicking the Copy to clipboard icon.

  4. Repeat steps 2-3 for each index you have enabled.
