Data types

The kinds of input a neuron can take in GET and the kinds of result it can make in MAKE.

A neuron's inputs and results each have a type. The input types are set per input in GET; the result type is set once in MAKE. Which result types you can pick depends on the input types.

Input types in GET

Choose an input's type in GET with Change input type:

  • Text: typed text. Type it on the card or in GET.
  • PDF: a PDF file.
  • Image: a JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, SVG or WebP image.
  • Audio file: an MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG or FLAC file.
  • Voice recording: audio you record in the app with your microphone.
  • Table: a table from this workflow's Docs, or a CSV file that becomes a new table.

Changing an input's type clears its current value.

Upload, replace or download an input file

  1. On the input, click the upload area (Click or drop to upload), or drop a file on it.
  2. To swap the file, click Replace (or Click or drop to replace).
  3. Click the file to preview or download it.

Record a voice input

  1. Set the input type to Voice recording.
  2. Click Record and allow the microphone if your browser asks.
  3. Click Stop to keep the recording, or Discard to throw it away.
  4. To record again, click the input (Record again to replace it).

Table inputs

A table input reads rows from a table.

  1. Set the input type to Table.
  2. Click Pick a table to choose a table from this workflow's Docs, or Upload a CSV to create a new table from a CSV file.
  3. Click Open editor to view or edit the table.

See Documents for creating and editing tables.

Result types in MAKE

Choose the result type in MAKE under Active output:

  • Text: written text, such as a summary, a reply or a list.
  • Image: a generated image.
  • Audio: generated speech.
  • Table: rows and columns, which SEND can write into a table.
  • Decision: picks one of your named conditions, so only the neurons on that path run. See Neuron parts.

Changing the result type clears the current result.

Limits

  • File upload: up to 32 MB per file.
  • Text input: up to 50,000 characters.
  • CSV import: up to 25 MB per file.
  • Rows the AI reads from a table: the first 500 rows of a table on each run.

Common problems

Only CSV files can be imported as a table

A table input and the Docs Import take CSV files only. Excel files aren't supported: save the sheet as CSV first, then upload it.

The microphone doesn't record

If the browser blocks the microphone, allow it from the microphone icon in the address bar, then try again. If no microphone is found, check that one is connected. Some browsers can't record audio: use Chrome or Safari.

A file type is refused

Each input type takes only its own file types. For example, an Image input refuses a PDF. Change the input type, or upload a file of the right type.

Some input types can't make every result type

Which result types MAKE offers depends on the input types in GET. If the result type you want isn't offered, change the inputs or split the work over two neurons.
