Generate Descriptions with Ursula AI Active Job

(Since version 1.20)

The SAWSConnector Suite encompasses many Active Jobs. One of these it the Generate Text with Ursula AI Active Job. This Active Job enables you to maintain descriptions of any kind via the Ursula AI. For example: Alt texts for images, further product descriptions or accessibility descriptions for vision impaired people.

The following article shows you how to configure this Active Job while explaining the options.

 

First Create An Active Job

You create an Active Job in the following steps:

1) Select the ActiveJobs in the menu on the left.

2) Click on ‘Create New’ in the top menu.

 

3) Click on ‘Script’ and select ‘SAWS – Generate Descriptions with Ursula AI’ from the drop-down menu.

 

4) Then fill in the other boxes as required.

5) Save the Active Job using the Save button or the key combination ALT + S.

i) You can’t specify the ID for your Active Job! It will be assigned automatically and consecutively.

 

6) Under ‘Show more options …’ you will find further useful functions, such as a timeline, CloudStream tools or help pages.

 

Settings

After saving, you will have access to additional tabs and input boxes to precisely define your Active Job. These include:

 

Label

Defines the name of your Active Job.

 

Category

Defines the associated category. This is sorted in the ‘Presets’ sub-menu.

 

Description

The description of the script can only be read by you and the users authorised by you.

 

Record Type

Defines what is to be included for text generation. You can choose between ‘Products’ (i.e. products from the PIM system) and ‘DAM Files’ (such as images, videos and media).

 

Root Node

Defines the sub trees for which the AI text generation is executed. You can select individual files and folders for processing.

 

Filter Objects by this Favorite

After you have selected a root node the option for a filter by favorites will appear. This allows you to integrate specific structures, priorities or workflows into the process.

 

Languages (First will be used as default language)

Selects the languages in which the text is generated. As in the title mentioned, the first choice is used as the default language. This is especially important for languange-independent attributes since they will be populated in the default language.

 

Attributes for AI description (+)

This menu can be used to define product and media attributes that are to be included for the AI to work off to provide a better context. For example, name, size, colour, etc. can be included to generate a product description. Multi-selection is also possible here.

 

Image Attribute

Selects the images and image folders to be used for text generation.

Important: To maximize usability, this field only appears after the other input boxes have been filled / satisfied.

 

Preset for image export

Determines the preset via the image is exported. There is a variety of predefined presets available which were provided by Contentserv but it is always possible to create your own. Ursula AI uses the properties stored in the presets to create it’s description texts.

It is currently recommended to use a maximum image size of 300 x 300 pixels.

 

Target Attribute

Defines in which attribute the generated text should be stored. This can be the description field, an alt text box, or simply the meta tags for SEO purposes, for example.

 

Replace value in target attribute only if condition is met

Allows the selection of filling conditions. These can be limited to empty fields, for example, so that no existing or inherited texts are replaced.

 

Prompt Attribute

You can also store an AI prompt directly in the product, e.g. to focus on a specific property or not to mention certain terms in context. You can use this field to have the Ursula AI take these stored prompts into account.

 

Additional AI Instructions

Allows you to give the AI additional instructions, such as a linguistic style, to draw attention to certain details or to avoid selected terms.

This will only be taken into account if the ‘Prompt Attribute‘ in the product is empty.

 

Starting the Active Job

 

7) After you have filled out all boxes and selected your options you can start (i.e. run) the Active Job by clicking on the ‘Run ActiveScript’ button in the menu on the upper right.

Be aware: Once the Active Job has started it cannot be stopped until the task is finished or it runs out of time (which can be specified in the tab ‘Automation’).

 

Afterwards a logs window in the lower right of the UI will show you what tasks the Ursula AI has completed, if there were possible complications, and errors.

 

Run Example

To fully understand how you can create description texts with the Ursula AI it is best demonstrated with a step-by-step case example.

 

1) I create an Active Job, select the ‘SAWS – Generate Descriptions with Ursula AI‘ and fill out the input boxes.

The description is—of course—not necessary but could help me later remembering the specific purpose of this Active Job.

 

2) For ‘Record Type‘ I choose ‘DAM Files‘ so the Ursula AI will generate it’s produce as such.

3) When I click an ‘Root Node‘ a context menu opens:

4) Inside the ‘Data Selection Dialog‘ I select the folder ‘Images‘ and the subfolder ‘People‘ for an example. With a double-click on this folder, it is now shown in the selection list on the right.

5) The ‘Root node‘ box only shows the ID. This can vary. Single entries or images for example are usually named directly.

 

6) For ‘Filter Objects by this Favorite‘ I select ‘SAWS / Leaf Elements‘ which filters the objects down to their lowest elements in the tree.

7) By clicking on languages another context menu opens:

8) Here I choose a variety of languages the description(s) will be created in. As the first and therefore automatically assigned default language I select English, followed by German, French, and Japanese. In the input box they are sorted by ID and when they where selected.

 

9) For the next step, I wanted to specify the attributes the Ursula AI uses for it’s creation process.

By clicking on ‘Add Next Object‘ (+) another context menu opens:

10) In the subsequent trees and folders I selected the attributes ID, External Key, File Name and Last Change for overview purposes. By double-clicking on them they’re shown in the selection list on the right.

In theory, it is possible to choose an almost infinite number of attributes. However, more then 50 entries or attributes with excessive amount of information can lengthen and complicate your prompt too much for the Ursula AI to generate a useful text. Also there is a almost non-existent chance of the universe collapsing which has proven to be very unhealthy for plant life. Also existence.

 

11) For the ‘Preset for image export‘ I selected ‘AI Optimized WEBP (9)‘ to make it easer for Ursula AI to fulfil it’s purpose.

12) As ‘Target attribute‘ I choose ‘Media Descriptipn (334)‘ from the context menu.

13) When asked to ‘Replace value in target attribute only if condition is met‘ I allow Ursula AI to ‘Always replace value‘ so the generated texts can overwrite everything that’s written in the Media Description tags.

It is possible to choose less drastic options, so the AI only generate texts when there is none at the first place or inherited.

 

14) Almost done! For a ‘Prompt Attribute‘ I select the color so the Ursula AI will mention and focus on this characteristic.

15) And for the ‘Additional AI Instructions‘ I tekk the Ursula AI to generate alternative meta texts within EU accessibility guidelines.

 

16) It is done! For the final step, I save my progress and run the Active Job. Let Ursula AI work its magic.
