[Koichi_Tsuji]

Assistance feature, enabling the users to use natural language to search the information within the app, has been deployed for a year now, if i m correct, but I have not been using the same on the production level due to the performance issue and also reliability as well.

See my other post.

Usage of "Assistance" natural language search service Questions

I’m not sure exactly how many months are now since Appsheet introduced “Assistance” feature to enable users of App to search the contents of the app using natural language. For me, I was excited to see this one at the time they released, however, I have never used in my live apps. Wondering how many of users in community are using the same feature routinely and regularly?

We wish this feature to respond much faster against the request for search, as well as improve the reliability.

Thank you for consideration.

It seems that one of the big issues I remember is that it searches based on the column name and/or static display names… However, if the display name is an expression, it won’t search those…

I actually want to know the basic algorithm a bit in terms of how their search engine will work… Will be replaced with Google search engine? haha.
