AppSheet Smart Assistant (Voice Search): How do you use it?

[GreenFlux]

This is half Feature Request, and half Question-- I couldn’t decide which Category!

Does anyone use the Smart Assistant (Voice Search) feature?

It’s turned on by default in new apps and allows searching tables with voice or text search commands.

I think it’s a neat idea, but I’ve never had a good use for it so it’s one of the first things I turn off in every app-- just to get rid of the view.

Do you use the Smart Assistant? What kind of data does your app track, and what voice queries do you use?

I think this feature could be more useful if you could define some templates ‘per app’ with variables for columns and operators. Something like “This Command” = “This LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW” with parameters passed from the voice command to the function.

If we had a two column table of ‘commands’ and ‘queries’, then we could customize the assistant per app.

Voice Command
Inspections Approved This Week by ApprovedBy
Query
SORT(FILTER(Inspection,AND( WEEKNUM([ApprovedDate])=WEEKNUM(TODAY()), YEAR([ApprovedDate])=YEAR(TODAY()),[ApprovedBy]))

This is kind of possible already to an extent with certain key words, but if we had a table to define our own custom functions it would be a lot more powerful.

Assistant View - questions Questions

I personnelly never used "Assistant View’ for the apps deployed to the users, as it is not performing as we expected. For instance, even after we filled in the randam searching key words, the view is not reacting at all. Nothing is pulled out as a result, or we are not sure if the app is running our query to get the result as it seems to be freezed. But it is strange, we test Assitant view and search on it with “super simple and small app”, it works, but sometimes, i.e. if we are lucky? Wonder…

I’m one of those I never you it and I always turn it off…
