Returns

Type	Description
AIReportingConfigurationBuilder	A DevExpress.AspNetCore.Reporting.AIReportingConfigurationBuilder object that can be used to further configure the AI-powered functionality in Web Document Viewer and Web Report Designer.

Remarks

The following code activates the Prompt-to-Expression Converter in an ASP.NET Core application:

// ...
builder.Services.AddSingleton(chatClient);
builder.Services.AddDevExpressAI((config) => {
    config.AddWebReportingAIIntegration(options =>
        options.AddPromptToExpressionConverter());
});

Filter Editor and Expression Editor now display an AI button that invokes the Prompt-to-Expression Generator. In the invoked window, enter an expression prompt in natural language and click Generate.

You can edit the generated expression in the Generator window and apply it when ready.

The AI model generates expressions based on the report-specific expression syntax. The model has access to the data source schema, report layout, and any custom functions registered in your application. You can refer to these elements in your prompts. Detailed prompts increase output quality.
