What are user inputs?

User inputs are interactive elements of an application that allow users to provide different types of data as context for the AI. 

Types of user inputs

Here are the user input field available in your workspace:

• Long Text: Allows you to capture long answers, like a paragraph, section of code, or more.
• Short Text: Allows you to collect single words, short answers, or a single sentence of text, such as names, ages, years, or more.
• Text Choice: Allows you to create multiple choices that users can select from to answer a question.
• Image Choice: Same as the Text Choice except it displays uploaded images as the selections to a prompt. Each image has a required text field where the interpretation of the image can be added. The interpretation is what will be stored in the variable.
• Rating: Allows users to select a rating out of five to evaluate a topic. It's suited for agree/disagree types of questions.
• Date: Extract a date selection from the user.
• Display: Does not collect any information from the user. It can be used to display a set of instructions, images, or any additional information that the user will need to know as they take on the workflow.
• Upload File: Allows users to upload a file and its text will be extracted and saved as a variable. You can allow for all file types, or specify a particular file type, such as an Excel spreadsheet, CSV file, Word document, Text file, PDF, or HTML Document.
• Upload Image: Allows users to upload an image. This input is most widely used with the Image Analysis block, which utilizes vision models to process images based on a prompt.
