Can my AI read my Retable data?

Data outcomes

What you get from your queries

The AI pulls specific information from your Retable workspace based on your questions.

RECORDS

Specific row retrieval

The AI finds exact entries based on your criteria. You get the specific data points you asked for from any table.

SUMMARIES

High-level overviews

Your agent scans multiple rows to give you a summary. This works well for counting items or finding trends.

STRUCTURE

Workspace mapping

The AI identifies which projects and tables exist in your workspace. This helps it know where to look for information.

HUMAN

Manual updates

The AI only reads and lists existing data. You still need to manually update or add new records in the Retable UI.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI follows a logical path to find the right information in your workspace.

  1. Locate the workspace

    The AI identifies your available Retable projects to find the right starting point.

    list_projects

  2. Find the right table

    Once the project is found, the AI looks through the tables within that project to locate the specific dataset.

    list_tables

  3. Fetch the data

    The AI pulls the actual rows and columns you asked about from the selected table.

    list_records

  4. Verify project details

    If it needs more context about the project structure, the AI pulls specific project metadata.

    get_project
