With Gemini in AppSheet Solutions, you can use AI in automations to extract information from an image, process a document, or categorize information.

For example, imagine you are the owner of a car dealership and you need to frequently update your sales inventory. Using AI in automation, the process can be greatly simplified for the end user. Here’s what the experience could be for them:

  1. Take a photo of the new car on a mobile device.
  2. Upload the image to your AppSheet app.

Using AI, AppSheet extracts data from the photo, such as car make, model, color, and year.
