AIDE: an AI Data Analyst in Every Grid View
At Isomorphic, we believe every UI component should come with built-in AI. That vision is now a reality.
We’re excited to introduce AIDE (AI Data Enhancement), our newest set of generative AI features designed to live directly inside your components. Think of AIDE as an on-demand data analyst living inside your grids, ready to summarize, categorize, sort, or filter your data by deeply examining each record.
It’s not just about asking your app what to do. That’s the job of AI Assist, our natural language interface, which lets users issue commands like “Show orders over $30k in the last nine months, starting with the largest order.” And it’s distinct from Answer Engine, which responds to business questions with full dashboards across your enterprise.
AIDE goes further: it reads the actual data records and augments them intelligently, one row at a time. To explore these features hands-on, visit the AI Sample Gallery.
AIDE at a Glance
Here are the first three AIDE features landing in SmartClient:
- AI-Generated Fields: Enrich each row of your data grid with AI-generated summaries or other context. Or, do it as a hover.
- AI Filter: filter the grid by examining each record and applying dynamic, AI-powered criteria, such as relevance to your current task.
- AI Sort: sort by dynamic, AI-powered rankings, such as how time-sensitive an issue is, or how much it could impact your company’s bottom line.
AI Filter: Discover What Traditional Filters Miss
Traditional filters rely on structured values, specific fields, exact matches, and rigid criteria. But real-world data is often messy, unstructured, and nuanced. AIDE’s AI Filter breaks through these limitations by filtering based on meaning, not just data values.
Sometimes users don’t need every record; they want only the ones that feel relevant, highlight critical issues, suggest promising outcomes, or flag potential risks. With AI Filter, users simply write a short prompt describing what they care about. AIDE interprets the intent and filters the dataset accordingly, returning only the records that align with the prompt’s meaning.
For example, in the ScienceStudies sample dataset, a researcher is trying to figure out which recently published studies are relevant to safety for a particular medical device. Normal filtering absolutely cannot do that, but AI-based filtering can.
Similarly, in the “countries” dataset, the AI uses its encyclopedic knowledge to filter to Spanish-speaking countries. Now you know how to focus your ad buys!
AI Filter isn’t rule-based. It’s insight-based. It understands the nuance in unstructured data, making it ideal for narrowing incident queues, screening leads, or identifying meaningful research findings. With just a prompt, users unlock filters powered by comprehension, not configuration.
AI Sort: Prioritize What Matters
Traditional sorting, by name, date, or numeric fields, can’t reveal what’s truly important. AI Sort, powered by AIDE, goes beyond superficial ordering of rows and columns. It sorts based on meaning, relevance, and impact, so users see what matters first.
With AI Sort, users define what “important” means in plain language. Want to surface the most novel research, highest urgency issues, or greatest revenue opportunities? Just ask. AIDE interprets the intent and reorders the grid accordingly. The most relevant rows rise to the top, while the noise fades away.
In the UserIssues dataset:
- Clicking “Urgency” prompts AIDE to analyze each issue, score how time-sensitive it sounds, and sort the records with the most urgent items at the top.
- Choosing “Impact” ranks issues by their long-term business consequences.
In the WorldDS dataset:
- The AI uses its knowledge of global geopolitical context to rank countries by press freedom
- AI dynamically decides upon a ranking, so rankings are consistent, even if the dataset changes
Whether it’s prioritizing support tickets, research studies, or global metrics, AI Sort transforms your grid into a smart list, ranking not by what’s there, but by what it means.
AI-Generated Fields: Augment Records Instantly
With AI-Generated Fields, every row becomes more than raw data. AIDE lets users add new fields computed on demand by AI, based on prompts tailored to the dataset. It enriches records with fresh, relevant insight.
These AI-generated fields appear instantly and feel native to the data. They bring external knowledge, synthesized insights, and smart classification, all embedded right into the grid.
We’ve seen research relevance, business impact, but for some travel-planning fun, in a dataset representing countries, you could ask for a short demographic overview, list common religions, or name the most famous landmark, all per country.
Take a look at the AI Generated Fields sample.
Production-Ready AI, Built for Real Workloads
AIDE’s AI features aren’t just demos or proof-of-concepts; they’re built for real-world deployment at scale. Whether you’re working with hundreds or hundreds of thousands of records, AIDE is designed to perform reliably in production environments.
To overcome generative AI’s context window limitations, the SmartClient grid intelligently processes data in configurable batches. You control how many records a user can enhance with AI, whether filtering, sorting, or augmenting content.
For example, if AI is limited to processing 300 records at a time and a user tries to filter across 5,000 rows, the grid will automatically disable the AI feature and explain why, ensuring clarity without breaking the experience.
It’s a seamless safeguard: no broken UX, no guesswork, no developer intervention. That’s the kind of polished, production-grade usability SmartClient is known for, AI that’s powerful, practical and deployable at scale.
Saveable, Shareable Intelligence
AI filters and sorts aren’t just ephemeral interactions. They can be saved as part of a Saved Search, shared across your organization, and reused just like any traditional filter or sort. To see Saved Search in action, check it out here.
A user might save a “Most Impactful Safety Studies” view or a “Highest Urgency Issues” list, all backed by AI, and all fully integrated.
API Access, Naturally
Need AI-enhanced results outside of a grid? No problem. AIDE is fully accessible through API calls like: isc.AI.filter(records, prompt). Whether you’re using grids or not, SmartClient’s AI and advanced features can be part of your workflow.
isc.AI.filter(records, prompt);More Component-Level AI Is Coming
AIDE is just the beginning. In our labs, we’re already testing:
- AI-Assisted Form Autofill
- AI Data Insights are shown inline in every grid
- AI-Augmented Layouts and Reports
- Answer Engine
If you want to be the first to sport such features in your apps, you can get involved via Feature Sponsorship. We take requests!
