Unifize AI
Introduction
Unifize now supports an AI checklist field that generates structured data from context. This allows admins to embed AI-powered automation directly within checklists. With AI fields, teams can generate structured checklist data via unstructured data and emails with documents.
This capability allows organizations to reduce manual data entry, standardize process narratives, and optimize workflows in areas like quality management, audits, investigations, and supplier approvals.
Feature capabilities
AI is now a checklist field type available in Process Builder.
Admins can configure how their specific AI works via the input and output fields to target checklist fields.
To control the behaviour of your AI, Prompts can be configured via the settings of the AI Checklist field.
AI generates structured data such as product details, dates, reasons, root causes, and corrective actions.
AI output is editable by users before being saved, ensuring compliance and accuracy.
Unifize AI can parse documents and attachments in emails and fill Checklist fields based on the same.
AI suggestions are logged in the conversation window of every record to maintain traceability.
How Unifize AI works
Step 1: Add AI field to Checklist
To get started, Admin opens Manage View section for a process.
Add a new field type called “AI” via the “Add Fields” section in the checklist and give a name to your field.
Step 2: Configure AI field settings
Configure the AI checklist field settings to control how your AI will behave
Setting
Description
Use Case
Button Label
The label that appears on the AI action button in the checklist. This button will be visible to the end users
E.g., “Generate AI Suggestions” for clarity to users
AI Prompt
The AI prompt field can be used to give instruction to guide the behavior of your AI field.
Tailor prompts for root cause analysis, summaries, etc.
Input Fields
Selects one or more input fields from which the AI reads context to fill the checklist fields.
Use fields like "Description", "Incident Summary"
Output Fields
Selects one or more output fields that the AI fills.
Populate fields like "Root Cause", "Corrective Action"
Step 3: Apply Conditions
You can also configure specific conditions for your AI checklist to determine the conditions under which your AI field will be visible or hidden
AI Checklist field conditions
Condition
Description
Use case
Show until condition met
This setting will make the AI button visible until a specified condition is met. Once met, the field will stay in shown state until the condition is met and there’s a behaviour selected
Display AI suggestions button until a required field is filled, e.g., until "Due Date" is set.
Hidden until condition met
The AI button is hidden until the specified condition is met. It becomes visible when the condition is satisfied.
Keep AI hidden until certain preconditions like "Status = Open" or "What happened? is filled".
Mandatory until condition met
The AI checklist field remains mandatory until the condition is met. Once met, it becomes optional.
Require users to use AI suggestions until a checklist status is updated, e.g., from "Draft" to "Complete".
Disable until condition met
The AI button is disabled until the specified condition is satisfied. Once met, it becomes active.
Prevent AI usage until key fields like "Product Name" or "Due Date" are filled to ensure AI context accuracy.
Additional Conditions settings
Setting
Description
Use Case
Condition
Selects the field to evaluate from the checklist data
E.g., choose "Due Date" or "What happened?" fields to control AI visibility or behavior.
Qualifier
Defines how the condition evaluates the field (e.g., "is filled", "equals", "contains", etc.).
Show AI only if "Due Date is filled" or "Status equals Open".
AND Condition
Combine multiple conditions that must all be true for the behavior to apply.
Show AI if both "Due Date is filled" and "Status = Open".
Behavior - Mandatory if not hidden
When checked, the AI field becomes mandatory if it is not hidden by a condition.
Force AI to be run whenever it is visible to ensure users use it before submission.
Step 4: Save and Publish
Click Update Field Settings to finalize and save the settings. Click on Save & Exit to save the process.
2. User journey- Using AI in a record
A user opens a record that has the configured AI checklist field.
Add information in the input Checklist field that is required for the AI to take information and fill the rest of the fields. The input field can also be a File Upload Checklist field wherein a user can just upload a document for the AI to parse and fill rest of the Checklist field.
Once the input field is filled, the user can move to the AI Checklist field and click the button to trigger AI suggestions.
The AI will read from the input fields and generates outputs for the required fields and present the suggestions in a structured tabular format in the conversation window of the record.
A user can navigate through the list of suggestions and select all the rows that seems correct to them and click on the “Add to Checklist” button. Upon doing so, the system will automatically fill the Checklist fields with the information.
Users can review, edit, or accept the suggestions before saving them. If required, new information can also be added in the input field and with the help of AI, suggestion can be generated again.
What Unifize AI can help you with for different Checklist fields
Checklist field type
What AI can do
What AI cannot do
Text / Rich Text
Populate with generated summaries, descriptions, narratives like root cause or corrective actions.
—
Number
Fill in numeric values like quantities, counts, or measures.
—
Date
Populate specific dates (e.g., date of report, incident date).
—
Picklist
Select a specific picklist option if explicitly mentioned in the AI prompt.
-Cannot dynamically interpret or choose the right option from indexed options. -Requires exact instruction and name of the Checklist field (e.g., “Select ‘Product Defect’ for the Picklist field”).
Linked Record
Create a new linked record to a specified process if clearly stated in the prompt (e.g., “Link to Customer Complaint”).
-Cannot read embedded fields within the linked record. -Cannot suggest relationships based on existing linked data.
File Upload
Can parse through documents added in the File Upload Checklist field and fill Checklist data based on the document. -Can be used as an input field for AI
-Cannot create or upload files. --Won’t work if this Checklist field option is chosen as an output field for AI
Best practices
Be specific with prompts: Clearly define what AI should do in the prompt. For example, instead of saying “Fill details,” write “Extract Product Name from the description and populate the Product Name field.”
Use precise language for picklists and linked records:
For picklists, mention the exact option AI should select (e.g., “Select 'Product Defect' in Reason.”).
For linked records, specify the exact process name (e.g., “Link to the Customer Complaint process.”).
Define clear input fields: Choose fields that reliably contain the context AI needs. Avoid vague or incomplete input sources.
Do not mix input and output fields: A field can either be an input or an output but not both. This avoids conflicts and confusion in AI behavior.
Audit AI regularly: Review how AI is being used in records. If inaccuracies are noticed, refine the prompts or adjust the input/output field mappings.
Always review AI suggestions before adding them to the checklist.
