Add an AI action

Add an AI action that summarizes an application record, validates the model response, and stores a useful structured result safely.

What you will build#

A Summarize action that stores a short summary and generation time on a record.

Before you begin#

Use an application with a text-heavy record such as a customer note or support request.

1. Ask Codex to add the action#

Open Build and enter:

Add a Summarize action to this record.
Return a summary no longer than 80 words as structured output.
Store the summary and generation time. Preserve the previous summary if inference fails.
Show a useful error and log the outcome without logging the full input.

2. Run the action#

Open a record with text and select Summarize.

3. Verify the result#

Reload the record. Confirm that the summary and generation time remain. Open Dev logs and confirm the request completed without exposing the input text.

Next steps#
