Configure Apps
This guide covers the functionality for creating, cloning, and updating Apps - including connections between Apps and Collections.
Overview
Apps consist of inputs, composable blocks, and outputs. Apps can be created from scratch, cloned from an existing model, or started with a template. Each App block is designed with its own set of configurations which are outlined in the Building Blocks section.
Create an App
To set up a new App, start by clicking the plus icon in the side menu. You'll then be presented with a modal popup where you can specify your App name. Complete the creation of a new App by clicking the "Create" button.
Add a Collection
You'll need to create a Collection prior to connecting it with an App.
Within the Collection block you are able to query a specific Collection using variables from the App such as {{inputs}}. You can also reduce the number of documents from the Collection that are returned.
Update the LLM block
Clicking on the LLM block opens up a side menu for changes the model, temperature, prompt and more. Updates to the blocks can instantly be tested but they are not saved until the "Save" button in the top right corner is clicked.
Clone an App
A more options icon (...) is present next to the name of App. Clicking on this icon presents a dropdown menu with an option to clone an App. This replicates the App and adds _clone to the App name.
Sharing an App
Sharing a chat App can be an easy way to quickly get your AI into the hands of customers or team members not on the Scout platform. On the chat tab you can set your app to be Public on the web. A URL will be generated to share the chat interface for that particular App. To remove access to the publicly accessible version, switch this setting to off.
