Develop custom AI actions

Sema4.ai actions empower AI agents to seamlessly integrate with enterprise systems and applications. They enable easy connections to data sources, applications, and APIs using Python—all securely accessible in real-time.

With Sema4 actions, you can focus on coding your integration, not managing infrastructure. They offer a built-in Python environment with automated dependency management, handling everything from environments to logging.

Additionally, Sema4 actions simplify credential and permission management, whether at the system level (API keys, service accounts) or user level (OAuth2). This makes integration straightforward and secure, so you can build quickly without worrying about the complexities of setup.

Key concepts

• Actions: Agents use a set of actions (sometimes called "tools" or "skills" in other AI frameworks) to execute specific tasks, often referred to as "function calling."
• Action Server: This service runs actions on a developer's laptop, inside the Sema4.ai Studio app, or in your organization's VPC. It ensures actions run as intended, offering features like an automatically generated natural language interface from the Action code and automated logging for better observability.
• Packages: AI actions are grouped into Packages and implemented as Python code. Sema4.ai provides actions for common tasks through the Action Gallery. Developers can create their own actions from scratch or modify existing ones from the Gallery.
