Step-by-step instruction
Step 1. Set Input Dataset
Consider a dataset containing messy addresses from which zip codes need to be extracted. Here is a sample dataset before extraction:

Step 2. Define the AI Prompt
The most crucial aspect of leveraging AI effectively is crafting a precise and relevant prompt. A well-defined prompt ensures the AI understands the task clearly, leading to accurate and useful outputs. This involves being specific about the desired outcome, providing necessary context, and avoiding ambiguity.
Prompt Example
Extract the zip code from the address @Address.
Why This Prompt Is Good
Clearly states the task (zip code extraction) and specifies the column containing the address (@Address).
Ensures the AI focuses on extracting only the zip code, avoiding any other components of the address.

Step 3. Configure the Flow Designer
Add the input dataset to the flow designer.
Select the AI Column node from the tools panel and enter the prompt.
Start with a row-by-row execution to fine-tune your prompt.
Correct your prompt, regenerate any single row, or remove all previous results.
Once you satisfied with the prompt, apply the AI Column Node to all rows (it will be applied only for empty cells).
For very large datasets that are bigger than 10,000 rows, run the flow for runtime processing over the whole dataset. Be aware that it can be costly for a large amount of data.
