Office Hours Question Roundup | A Recap of Week 2’s Office Hours

Another week of APA Training Camp, another question round up! This week, we’ve compiled a list of questions from our Office Hours to assist you in navigating the training sessions smoothly. Let’s jump right in! Q: What is API Task? How is it different to Task Bots? A: API tasks do not need a bot runner to execute; they run in a container, independent of the local system. Q: Can you give some light on how we use the Context tool? A: The context establishes the high-level guidelines for the AI skill, defining what you expect it to accomplish. For instance, you might specify that the AI acts as a classification agent or content extractor. This context serves as the foundation for the skill, with additional user prompts providing further detail on how the AI should operate. Different platforms may refer to this concept as "personality," using various naming conventions, but the underlying principle remains the same: first, you set the high-level guidelines, and then you provide deeper inst

Classification flow error - javascript MIME type issue

Sorry to spam - I encountered another issue with the Classification process. The DataCollection task runs javascript on line 3. The javascript references an external .js file which is throwing a MIME type error at runtime: “Refused to execute script from 'https://pathfinder.automationanywhere.com/challenges/training/AITC/Prompts/js/training-challenge.js' because its MIME type ('application/xml') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.” I have no javascript experience, but it appears the problem can be fixed only by changing the external .js file (hosted by AA) or by turning off the MIME security on my browser (not an option). Can anyone assist?

To Edge users getting an error when running the Classification flow

I noticed that the classification flow runs a task which has Chrome hardcoded as the browser, even though the device prep task ‘ERIC’ checks for both Chrome and Edge. You will need to either switch to Chrome or change the DataCollection task line 2 to use ‘default browser’ in order to continue.
