User Inputs - Getting Started with SimplAI

To perform data analysis or pass instructions to a Tool, user inputs are essential. These inputs serve various purposes, such as:

1. Providing settings and instructions (e.g., specifying the maximum number of items to extract, formatting guidelines for the output)
2. Supplying actual data for analysis (e.g., uploading a CSV file)
3. Posing questions to be answered

Creating a Tool and Adding User Inputs

The easiest way to begin creating a Tool is to navigate to the Tools page. Once there, click on the + Create Tool button located at the top right corner of the page.

You will be greeted with an empty state where you can:

1. Add user inputs
2. Add user steps

Variables are used to reference user inputs within Tools. Variable names can be accessed using double curly braces {{}}. For example, to use the value from a text input named my_text_input, you would reference it as {{my_text_input}}.

In the following sections, we will explore all the supported user inputs in SimplAI.
