Creating chatGPT ECA action for Augmentor

Yup, we have this in our roadmap and I will be working on it very soon :)

Assigning that to myself will allow me to explore the ECA API and gain an in-depth understanding of the existing Augmentor integration.

It would be nice addition, if it would allow to combine different augmentors.

For example:

• Speaking with chat in other language than English: (input) -> azureTranslation -> openaiChat -> azureTranslation -> azureTextToSpeech -> saveAudio -> (output)
• Translating input before making an image: (input) -> azureTranslation -> openaiImage -> saveImages -> (output)

This is because openAI often does not work properly in languages other than English.
I already did these combinations with a custom system months ago, so I might be able to help.

APIs will probably be able to do this native in some time (in a year for example).
But there is further potential:

• This may allow to make more complex workflows and may allow to program decision flow (using ECA) to make various AI decisions based on output from various Augmentors.

This is just for background of what could be possible if developed further.
But creating a single ECA action for now is great as well.

We are currently scoping out what Actions might look like and how they can be implemented in a flexible way so that ECA and others can be handled. The aim will be to be able to use all types of Augmentors in the Action so this is not limited to ChatGPT, GPT4 etc.

The ability to chain Augmentors is a powerrful concept. The orchestration of this could be done in ECA or Rules, however, I would need to look into those systems to see how they can be chained together.

I will keep this issue open for now for discussion and any futher ideas which there may be out there.

We will create a new Feature ticket for Actions once our ideas have settled down a bit.

Single ECA action is a powerful feature in itself.
Scoping out decreases likelihood this will be done because of too big scope.
Created a separate issue for that 🌱 Discussion - ECA actions, Chaining Augmentors Closed: works as designed

I agree that just an ECA action to send a token supporting prompt to an AI and storing the response would instantly provide a megaton of possibilities and instantly provide better functionality than currently provided by many of the budding AI/GPT modules in circulation.

The Augmentor AI module has now been updated to handle Actions. The module defines a new custom Action for each entity type. This is suitable for integration direct into sections of Drupal which deal with Actions. The module also implements a bunch of "minimal" Actions which are suitable for use in ECA. the minimal actions have a simpler Form such that it converts across well into the ECA Action template which is created.

So bottom line, If you wish to automate nodes in ECA use the Content item - minimal Augmentor. This will work well in ECA.

Now that we have Actions, we have a way to automate them with ECA. And extended on from that, the ECA VBO module will expose an action event for Views VBO. So with this module you can bulk process nodes with an Augmentor via complex automations through ECA.

On the ChatGPT side of the equation we have the ChatGPT Augmentor Module

It does what is days on the box - bring Chat GPT cunctionality to the Augmentor ecosystem.

Finally, picking up on ALfTheCat's comment above - yes, that is now possible.

As this was a "discussion" ticket leading upt o the Actions implementation, I am going to close it out. Please download the latest version of Augmentor AI to give it a try. Thanks for everyone's contribuition here.
