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.

Further information you can find in the user call on the AI modules and on the LDB homepage.
