Using Ask Elements, you can leverage Generative AI to ask questions of your Org to better understand its capabilities and components. We have combined the power of ChatGPT with an understanding of your Org configuration to help you learn more about your Org.
Note that this feature is still experimental and results can vary. Contact success@elements.cloud for more information and support.
Prerequisites
The ElementsGPT pilot capability must be enabled in a space, or for consultants, you must have Elements GPT activated for your user account.
Your Space must have a Trial, Enterprise (ENT) or Consulting plan license.
You require access to a connected and sync’d Org in Elements.
How to Use "Ask Elements" for your Org
Opening "Ask Elements"
To open “Ask Elements”, navigate to your indexed Org model. If you do not have an indexed Org, follow the instructions here to index.
Once the Org is indexed and opened, go to the top right corner and open “Ask Elements”.
This will open the “Ask Elements” window where you can choose the type of query you want to make.
Use the guidance and question fields to fill in the information needed for your question. The guidance can be used to help specify particular formats, and do’s and don'ts, for the model.
Chat history and refining questions
Once a question has been asked you are free to edit the guidance and question fields to refine and re-ask the question. This will open a new chat, but the previous question will be available in the left hand chat history.
You can open any previous chat history to refine any of the fields, as well as edit the name, and delete any chat histories you no longer need.
Using custom settings
We offer custom settings to allow you to refine the model options and settings. Access these by clicking on the cog icon in the top right corner.
Here you can select the model from our available presets, as well as Top K, Temperature, Top P, Max Completion Tokens and Score threshold.
Reindexing your Org
Currently, Orgs are automatically re-indexed on a weekly basis each Saturday. However, if you know there have been significant changes since then, you can re-index your Org on demand. Do this by following the steps in this article.
Available scopes
The current available options are Org Model, Well Architected, and Latest Release Note. Each scope uses a specific data context to answer your question as effectively as possible. Read on for more information.
#1 Ask your Org model
You can use Ask Elements to ask qualitative questions about your Org. For example, asking which automations are used in a particular process, or what kinds of objects there are.
Note that our current architecture returns the top 10 relevant results, not all relevant results. Therefore, Ask Elements isn’t very good at answering quantitative questions, such as “How many flows…”. This is due to the fact that Ask Elements is powered by a LLM - fantastic at providing recommendations based on similarities, but not necessarily at calculations.
Currently, we are indexing the following metadata types with their names, API names and descriptions:
Apex classes
Apex triggers
Flows
Objects
Record types
Fields
Profiles
Permission sets
Permission set groups
Validation rules
We plan to index more metadata and provide information about them in the future iterations.
#2 Ask about the Salesforce Well Architected framework
Use this scope to ask about the Well Architected framework, to understand best practices better, or ask for advice on how to implement something. For example, “What are the recommended best practices for implementing an Apex Class that handles… ?”
#3 Ask about the latest Salesforce release
Use this scope to ask about the latest release updates, summarising the notes, or specifically to ask for example, which API versions are being deprecated. For example, “Summarise the latest release notes”
