Actions
Section titled “Actions”- Send prompt: This action allows you to send a prompt to an AI model and receive its response. When you submit your message, it’s processed and sent to the AI through our system. The AI then generates a response based on your input. If you’ve had a conversation history, it will be preserved and included along with the new AI response in the returned details
- Extract text from image or PDF Extracts text from a PDF or image file using Mistral AI OCR service.
- Create transcription: generates a transcription given an audio (mp3, mpeg, mpga, m4a, wav, or webm).
Translation
Section titled “Translation”- Translate translate file content retrieved from a CMS or file storage. Only segments without a translation are translated. The output can be used in compatible Blackbird interoperable actions.
- Translate text given a text and a locale, tries to create a localized version of the text.
Editing
Section titled “Editing”- Edit Edit a translation. This action assumes you have previously translated content in Blackbird through any translation action. Only looks at translated segments and will change the segment state to reviewed.
- Edit Text given a source segment and translated target segment, responds with an edited version of the target segment taking into account typical mistakes.
Review
Section titled “Review”- Review reviews a translation. This action assumes you have previously translated content in Blackbird through any translation action. Adds a quality score to each translated or reviewed segment and sets segments scoring at or above the Score threshold (default 0.8) to final.
- Review text reviews a single text and returns a quality score.
Shortening
Section titled “Shortening”- Shorten content shortens translated file content so every unit fits its size restriction from the file, or the Maximum length for units without one. Texts that are still too long are sent again, up to the number of Retries (default 3). Units that never fit are left unchanged.
- Shorten text shortens a single text to the Maximum length.
Summarizing
Section titled “Summarizing”- Summarize summarizes file content. Translated content is summarized from its translation, untranslated content from its source. Optionally set the Language, Maximum words and Target audience.
- Summarize text summarizes a single text with the same options.
Note: files are interoperable, under the hood Blackbird may convert to and from bilingual files with metadata but all our Actions are able to accept a lot of different file formats.
