Artificial Intelligence

The Artificial Intelligence section controls whether and how the laboratory uses the AI features, and shows how much it uses them.

Navigation: Settings → System → Artificial Intelligence

What the switch controls

The setting covers three features together:

FeatureWhat it does
Natural-language queryThe "Ask" mode — you ask in ordinary sentences instead of using filters
Capture measurement from instrument (OCR)Reads the value from a photo of the instrument's display
Help assistantAnswers questions against the documentation

Choosing "Disabled" turns all three off. There is no per-feature switch — except for OCR, which has one of its own.

Provider and billing

OptionWhat it means
Agrometrisis-hostedYou use our infrastructure; usage counts against your plan's monthly limit
Your own Anthropic keyYou supply your own API key and are billed directly by the provider

The choice affects both billing and availability — it is not merely a technical detail.

Usage and history

At the top you see the queries this month. The monthly limit is not set here: your administrator sets it and you see it under Subscription.

Below that, the history shows, per call, the feature, the question, the outcome, the cost and the response time — so you know where your allowance is going.

Notes

  • The switch here applies to the whole laboratory. An individual user can hide the feature from their own screen only, under Preferences — that does not disable it for anyone else.
