How do I ask Slite AI a question?
Short answer: You can slite ask ai in Slite by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Slite Slite Ask AI action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ
Questions about Slite Ask AI.
What does the Slite Ask AI action do in Slite?
Slite's RAG-as-a-service — pass a question, get a grounded answer with citations to source notes in your workspace. For "agent needs to look up our team policy" workflows.
What inputs does Slite Ask AI require?
Required: Question. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Slite returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Slite returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Slite Ask AI support batch operations?
Run Slite Ask AI inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Slite's rate limits.
