AI Capabilities let platform admins connect external services that give the Activepieces AI assistant additional abilities beyond what the AI model can do on its own. Currently, you can configure capabilities for Web Search, Web Scraping, and Image Generation.

Why use AI Capabilities?

AI Capabilities let your organization control which external services the AI assistant can use for specialized tasks. For example, you can allow the assistant to search for current information on the web, extract content from webpages, or generate images when users need these capabilities. Configuring these services at the platform level also means the required API credentials can be managed centrally rather than asking individual users to configure them.

Available AI Capabilities

Web Search lets the AI assistant search the live web for current information.  This is useful for tasks where the assistant needs information that may not be available in the model itself.

Web Scraping

Web Scraping lets the AI assistant extract clean content from webpages as Markdown, including pages that are rendered with JavaScript. This can be useful when the assistant needs to read and work with the full content of a webpage rather than just search results.

Image Generation

Image Generation lets the AI assistant create images such as realistic photos, marketing graphics with text, brand logos, and abstract art. The model is selected automatically for each request.

How To Set Up AI Capability

The setup is similar across the available capabilities:
  1. Go to Platform Admin → AI Center → AI Capabilities.
  2. Find the capability you want to configure.
  3. Click Set up.
  4. Enter the API key for the external service.
  5. Click Save.

AI Providers vs AI Capabilities

AI Providers connect the AI models Activepieces uses, while AI Capabilities connect external services that give the AI assistant additional abilities such as web search, web scraping, and image generation.
