Question of the Week [Bingo Square 5]: AI Assist Responses

While I don’t have the screenshot anymore, I asked an early (very pre-release) version of the AI Chat if the FME Lizard had a name, and it told me that it’s name was ‘Don Murray’!

I was going to use the AI Assist to complete the Task 6: Creating an image representing an FME transformer, but it didn’t know about the Logger!

Also, it was very reluctant to create the image I had in mind

It's still on my to-dolist, and I'm a little hesistant of using AI because of the drawbacks on extra power- and water consumption by the AI-datacenters.

Alas, I also haven’t been able to use this yet either

The AI assist is a “fellow FME fan”

The assistant actually isn’t able to output images – we didn’t have any image-based use cases in mind for the first iteration, and so have not added this feature. I’d be very interested to hear if there’s any FME-specific image generation that would be useful to you or other users!

Ouch, yeah, we’re aware of this hitting users more than it should. We don’t currently have a way to deal with workspaces beyond a certain size in a meaningful way, due to resource constraints and limitations of current large language models, but it’s something we’re actively looking into. We have recently increased the limit quite a bit, but we know there are some very large workspaces out there that are still too much for the assistant to handle.

We are working on a mitigation or two so users’ conversations at least don’t get completely stuck when they have a large workspace open. As a workaround, it is possible to turn off workspace sharing entirely in FME Options > Workbench > Allow workspace contents to be used as AI Assist context. A bit less useful than it could be with this setting turned on, but the assistant will still be able to consult FME documentation and suggest transformers to add to the canvas based on a task you describe.

I decided to get to FME AI Assistant and this it was it told me about itself
 

I just try AI Assist for first time its very help full feature ., I try out more and test and trial

I hardly ever use AI Assist in FME, but I now see that it can be super useful :-)

Generate code that returns a feature containing a poem about a pirate encountering a python snake on some remote island, but then a green lizard comes to the rescue.

def input(self, feature: fmeobjects.FMEFeature):
    # Create a poem about a pirate encountering a python snake
    poem = (
        "On a remote island, so wild and untamed,\n"
        "A pirate roamed, his fortune unclaimed.\n"
        "Through jungles thick, he ventured alone,\n"
        "When a python snake made its presence known.\n"
        "\n"
        "Its scales glistened, its eyes a fierce gleam,\n"
        "The pirate froze, caught in a perilous dream.\n"
        "But just as the serpent prepared to attack,\n"
        "A green lizard appeared, with courage to back.\n"
        "\n"
        "The lizard stood tall, its spirit so bold,\n"
        "It hissed and it snapped, a story untold.\n"
        "The python recoiled, slithered away,\n"
        "And the pirate was saved on that fateful day.\n"
        "\n"
        "With gratitude deep, the pirate did cheer,\n"
        "For the FME lizard, his savior so near.\n"
        "On that remote island, a bond was made,\n"
        "Between pirate and lizard, in the jungle's shade."
    )

    # Set the poem as an attribute on the feature
    feature.setAttribute("poem", poem)

    # Output the feature
    self.pyoutput(feature, output_tag="PYOUTPUT")

Hi, my client is sticiky to an old version of FME. Now they are planning to migrate, so, by then, I will have the chance to test the new funcionality.

Need to wait for confirmation that FME 2025.1 can run on Windows Server 2025 before we can upgrade and have access to AI Assist.  Hmm, maybe that’s a question to ask it :-)

Love some of these responses in the meantime though!

Like most others I haven’t been able to use it. But secretly jealous of colleagues who have (shh). Such a useful tool.

Right there with you.

It took some time to educate the AI Assist but there you go:
 

No AI assist at work now, but we are looking forward to FME 2025@@ 

A disappointing start but it tried its best.. 

unable to use yet.

I thought I would ask one of the big questions in life.
I'm not sure I'm any closer to the answer?

Backing that one right up ​@ste_are but AI Assist failed this one!

My Question the AI Assist is . (what is the equivalent of a postgre databse data type called (numeric) in FME data type) and response is below.
