Data sources
HTTP step: Soon, we will add the ability to select a newly created schema model and output type to structure your output response. This way, you don't need to build extra action steps to establish a functional request to an API or remote data source.
Actions
AI Smart search functionality
This step allows you to search through data with natural language rather than keyword search.
Convert docs to text functionality
With this step you can easily convert documents like docx, pdf, images, excel, to text. When it’s text, you can use it in other steps of your action.
