AI Extension for Import Interfaces

The AI extension for import interfaces enables reliable import of unstructured data through the use of AI functions such as Structured Output and Function Calling.

Here's the English translation of the markdown text:

For using AI extensions with the import interfaces of the Laboratory Database, general AI usage must be activated in the Laboratory Database system settings. Subsequently, you will find a new tab in the settings of all import interfaces where you can configure AI usage for an import interface.

Structured Output

With the import mapping of the Laboratory Database import interfaces, the data types of the data to be imported are defined. These data types (e.g., string, number, selection lists,...) form the basis for structured AI outputs (Structured Output), ensuring that the data is processed by the AI exactly in the required form.

Available AI data types for import mapping

  1. automatic assignment
    The data type automatic (Default) automatically uses the appropriate data type based on the selected target where the data will be stored.

  2. AI Datatype: enum
    Automatic classification of text content into independently definable lists of possibilities
    Example: List of sampler names, so the AI can only select entries from the defined list

  3. AI Datatype: string
    Usage: Intelligent text processing and normalization
    Example: Standardizing addresses or location specifications

  4. AI Datatype: number
    Usage: Intelligent recognition and conversion of numerical values
    Example: Automatically standardizing measurement values from different formats

  5. AI Datatype: integer
    Usage: Automatic recognition and cleaning of integers
    Example: Extracting sample numbers from mixed text fields

  6. AI Datatype: boolean
    Usage: Intelligent interpretation of yes/no values
    Example: Automatically converting "yes", "no", "✓", "×", "true", "false" to Bool

  7. AI Datatype: date-time
    Usage: Automatic recognition and standardization of date/time specifications
    Example: Automatically converting various date formats to a uniform format

Example: Sample Import with Sampling Protocol

The import mapping "Edit Drinking Water Sampling Protocol" shows the practical application:


Function Calling

Function Calling can optionally be activated for selected data types (opt-in) and enables making data required for import available for AI retrieval.

For example, if test equipment should be linked with a sample during sample import, the AI can be provided access to the list of test equipment via the function search_equipment(search_term). This way, the AI import can flexibly find test equipment based on a number or name and link it with the sample during import.
