Here are some answers to common questions we get about how AI works
Follow a few of our tips for writing an effective AI prompt: include helpful information upfront, give examples, define the expected formats length of response, and give bots a role.
That’s because of non-determinism. That’s the fancy term describing why AI bots will reply with different, but likely similar, answers to the same question. It’s a feature that’s core to Large Language Models (LLMs), and what makes LLMs different from computers, which will do the same thing every single time. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!
Central bots can only take actions in the apps you’ve connected and use the triggers and actions you’ve set up. When configuring a behavior trigger or action field in Central, you have the option to have the bot always use the same value, pick from a specific set of values, have it guess the value, or not set any value. To provide additional control, you can add more details to your behavior instructions.
Anyone can try Central for free today by going to central.zapier.com and logging in with your Zapier account. You can sign up for a free Zapier account if you don’t already have one.

Limitations include:
