Recipe User Guide

This article explains how to create, manage, execute, and share recipes in askEdgi. It describes how to convert chat-based analyses into reusable recipes, build recipes from scratch, configure parameters, execute workflows, share recipes within the organization, publish recipes to the Marketplace, and manage recipes throughout their lifecycle.

The article also explains recipe execution, collaboration, publication workflows, and best practices for managing recipes effectively.

Recipes

Recipes enable users to save, reuse, share, and publish analytical workflows in askEdgi. The My Recipes page provides a centralized location for managing all recipe-related activities, including recipe creation, execution, sharing, publishing, and subscription management.

All the Recipes are displayed in a card-based format, allowing users to view personal, organization, and Marketplace recipes in a single location and perform common actions directly from the recipe details panel.

Recipe Card View

The My Recipes page displays recipes as individual cards. Each card provides a summary of the recipe and helps users quickly identify its purpose and ownership without opening it.

Each recipe card displays:

• Recipe Name

• Recipe Description

• Recipe Owner

• Creation Information

• Recipe Status

Recipe ownership information helps users distinguish among personal, organization-shared, and Marketplace recipes.

Examples include:

• Created by Me

• Created by <User Email Address>

• Marketplace Recipe

In addition to the recipe information, visual status indicators appear on the recipe card to help users quickly identify the recipe's current state.

Depending on the deployment type and recipe lifecycle, the card may display indicators for:

Enterprise Instance

• Shared with Organization

• Subscribed from Marketplace

Public Instance

• Draft

• Requested

• Published

• Rejected

• Imported from Marketplace

Recipe indicators help users quickly identify recipe ownership and publication status in both Enterprise and Public Instances.

Example:

• Organization icon: Indicates that the recipe is shared within the organization.

• Marketplace icon: Indicates that the recipe was imported from Marketplace.

These indicators provide immediate visibility into the availability, sharing status, and publication status of the recipe without requiring users to open the recipe details.

Selecting a recipe card opens a detailed recipe summary panel where users can view recipe information and perform available actions.

Creating Recipes

Users can create reusable recipes using the Create Recipe option available on the My Recipes page.

The Create Recipe menu provides two options:

• Create from Scratch

• Create from Chats

Create from Scratch

Create from Scratch allows users to build a new reusable recipe by defining recipe details, execution parameters, and workflow logic. The Recipe Builder guides users through three configuration stages:

1. Basic Information

2. Configure Parameters

3. Steps Builder

Users can navigate between these sections to configure and refine the recipe before saving it.

Basic Information

The Basic Information section defines the recipe's identity and purpose. This information helps users understand the objective of the recipe and determines which datasets can be used during execution.

The following fields are available:

Field	Description
Recipe Name	Enter a unique and meaningful name for the recipe. The name should clearly indicate the purpose of the recipe and help users identify it in the My Recipes page.
Ingredients	Select one or more datasets that will be used by the recipe. Ingredients represent the data sources available to the recipe during execution. Only selected ingredients can be referenced in parameters and workflow steps.
Description	Provides a summary of the recipe's purpose and expected outcome. The description is automatically generated by AI based on the configured workflow and can be modified manually if required.
Regenerate	Generates a new AI-generated description based on the current recipe configuration. Users can use this option when the existing description does not accurately reflect the intended functionality.

The generated description helps users understand the recipe's purpose without having to review the workflow logic.

Configure Parameters

The Configure Parameters section allows users to create reusable inputs that can be supplied during recipe execution. Parameters eliminate the need to hardcode values directly into a recipe and allow the same recipe to be executed with different user-provided inputs.

Parameterized recipes improve reusability by allowing users to provide execution-specific values rather than modifying the underlying recipe logic.

For example, a recipe that analyzes customer information can use parameters to allow users to select a Customer ID, Region, Department, Product Category, or Reporting Date at execution time.

When no parameters are configured, the Recipe Builder displays an option to add a new parameter.

Select Add Parameter to create a parameter configuration.

The following fields are available:

Field	Description
Input Type	Defines the type of input users will provide during recipe execution. Examples include dropdown selections, multi-select lists, text values, dates, or numeric inputs.
Parameter Name	Internal name used by the recipe logic to reference the parameter. This value is used during parameter binding and execution.
Display Label	User-friendly name displayed when users execute the recipe. This label should clearly describe the information users are expected to provide.
Ingredient	Specifies the dataset that will provide values for the parameter. Only ingredients selected in the Basic Information section are available for selection.
Ingredient Column	Specifies the column from the selected ingredient that will be used to populate parameter values.
Save Configuration	Saves the parameter and makes it available for use within recipe steps.

Supported Input Types

The Input Type field determines how users provide values during recipe execution.

The following input types are available:

Input Type	Description	Example
Dropdown (Single Select)	Allows users to select a single value from a predefined list retrieved from an ingredient column. This option is useful when users must choose only one value.	A sales analysis recipe prompts users to select a single Region (North, South, East, or West).
Dropdown (Multi Select)	Allows users to select one or more values from a predefined list retrieved from an ingredient column. This option is useful when multiple selections are allowed.	An inventory analysis recipe prompts users to select multiple Product Categories, such as Electronics, Furniture, and Clothing.
Text	Allows users to manually enter a text value during recipe execution. This option is useful when the input value is dynamic and not available in a predefined list.	A customer search recipe prompts users to enter a Customer Name or Department Name.
Number	Allows users to enter a numeric value during recipe execution. This option is useful for thresholds, limits, or identifiers.	A monitoring recipe prompts users to enter a Minimum Sales Amount or Top N Records value.
Date	Allows users to select a date value during recipe execution. This option is useful for filtering or generating time-based reports.	A reporting recipe prompts users to select a Report Date or Order Date.

Dropdown input types require both Ingredient and Ingredient Column to populate the available values.

Example Scenario

Consider a sales analysis recipe that needs different inputs each time it runs. Instead of creating multiple recipes, parameters can be configured as follows:

Parameter	Input Type	Example Value
Region	Dropdown (Single Select)	South
Product Category	Dropdown (Multi Select)	Electronics, Furniture
Customer Name	Text	ABC Retail
Minimum Sales Amount	Number	10000
Report Date	Date	15-Jun-2026

When the recipe is executed, askEdgi prompts users to provide these values and then uses them throughout the recipe execution workflow.

After configuring the parameter details, select Save Configuration to save the parameter. The saved parameter becomes available for use within the recipe workflow and can be referenced in the recipe logic. Once the parameter configuration is saved, users can proceed to the Steps Builder section to define the recipe's execution logic.

If additional parameters are required, select Add Parameter and repeat the configuration process. Multiple parameters can be configured within the same recipe and are presented to users during recipe execution.

During recipe execution, users are prompted to provide values for all configured parameters before execution begins. The selected values are then used throughout the recipe execution workflow.

Steps Builder

The Steps Builder defines the workflow logic that the recipe executes.

A recipe can contain one or more steps, and each step performs a specific operation such as querying data, applying transformations, generating insights, or creating output datasets.

Steps are executed sequentially in the order they are configured.

Each step contains the following components:

Field	Description
Visible During Execution	Controls whether the step and its output are displayed during recipe execution. When enabled, users can view the step and its results as the recipe runs.
Execution Overview	Provides a business-friendly explanation of the step. This description is automatically generated by AI and summarizes the purpose of the step.
Regenerate	Generates a new AI-generated execution overview based on the configured prompt and logic.
Prompt	Defines the instruction or analytical requirement for the step. The prompt describes the action that askEdgi should perform.
Code Type	Specifies the execution language used by the step. Supported options include SQL and Python.
Code	Displays the executable logic generated for the step. Users can review and modify the code when required.

Managing Recipe Steps

Recipes can contain multiple steps.

Users can:

1. Add new steps using Add Step.

2. Review individual steps from the step list.

3. Modify step logic.

4. Reorder workflow execution by updating step configurations.

5. Save changes after completing the workflow design.

Each step can operate independently or build upon the results of previous steps, enabling users to create complex multi-step analytical workflows.

After completing the configuration, select Save to create the recipe and make it available in My Recipes for future execution and sharing.

Importing Recipes

Recipes can be imported into askEdgi from external sources.

Upload Recipe

The Upload Recipe allows users to import previously exported recipes into askEdgi. This capability is useful when moving recipes between environments, restoring backup copies, or sharing recipes across teams.

To upload a recipe:

1. Select Upload Recipe from the My Recipes page.

2. Drag and drop a recipe file or select Choose Files.

3. Select Upload.

4. Review the imported recipe details.

5. Save the recipe.

   

Supported File Format

Recipe uploads support JSON files.

The uploaded file must be a valid recipe export generated from askEdgi. Generic JSON files that do not follow the recipe structure are not supported.

• Supported file type: JSON (.json)

• Maximum file size: Up to 1 GB

What Information Is Included in the Recipe File

A recipe export file typically contains:

• Recipe Name

• Recipe Description

• Ingredients

• Parameters

• Recipe Steps

• Prompts

• Generated SQL or Python Logic

• Execution Configuration

When the recipe is imported, askEdgi automatically reconstructs the recipe and makes it available in the My Recipes page.

Example Recipe Structure

The following example illustrates a simplified recipe export structure:

{
  "recipeName": "Customer Churn Analysis",
  "description": "Analyzes customer churn trends by region.",
  "ingredients": [
    "Customer Dataset",
    "Subscription Dataset"
  ],
  "parameters": [
    {
      "parameterName": "Region",
      "inputType": "Dropdown"
    }
  ],
  "steps": [
    {
      "stepName": "Analyze Customer Churn",
      "prompt": "Analyze customer churn by region",
      "codeType": "SQL"
    }
  ]
}

The actual recipe export structure may contain additional fields and metadata generated by askEdgi.

If the uploaded file contains invalid or unsupported content, askEdgi displays a validation message and prevents the recipe from being imported.

Add Recipe from Marketplace

Add Recipe from Marketplace allows users to import recipes published in Marketplace. This capability enables users to quickly add reusable workflows created by other users, teams, or organizations without having to manually recreate the recipe.

To import a Marketplace recipe:

1. Select Add Recipe from Marketplace.

2. Select Explore the Marketplace to browse available recipes.

3. Locate the recipe that needs to be imported.

4. Copy the provided recipe token.

5. Paste the token into the Marketplace import dialog.

6. Select Save.

   

What Is a Recipe Token?

A recipe token is a unique identifier generated for a Marketplace recipe. The token allows askEdgi to retrieve the recipe definition and import it into the user's environment.

Each Marketplace recipe has a unique token that represents a specific published version of the recipe.

Example Recipe Token

The following example illustrates a representative recipe token:

RCP-8F7A21D4-9C3B-45E8-A7D2-123456789ABC

The actual token format may vary depending on the Marketplace implementation and recipe version.

Import Behavior

When a valid recipe token is provided:

1. askEdgi retrieves the recipe definition from Marketplace.

2. Recipe metadata is validated.

3. Recipe configuration is imported.

4. Recipe steps and parameters are reconstructed.

5. The recipe is added to the My Recipes page.

After the import is complete, users can:

1. View recipe details.

2. Execute the recipe.

3. Edit the recipe, if permitted.

4. Use the recipe as a starting point for additional workflows

Marketplace Recipe Identification

Imported Marketplace recipes are displayed in the My Recipes page and can be identified using Marketplace indicators and filters.

Users can use Marketplace filters to quickly locate imported recipes and distinguish them from personal or organization-shared recipes.

Validation

If the token is invalid, expired, or no longer associated with an available Marketplace recipe, askEdgi displays a validation message and prevents the recipe from being imported. Users should verify that the token was copied correctly and that the recipe is still available in Marketplace before attempting the import again.

Prompt Discovery and Recipe Creation

askEdgi enables users to discover and reuse prompts generated across chat interactions through a centralized prompt discovery interface. This capability allows analytical workflows created during exploration to be efficiently converted into reusable recipes without manual reconstruction.

Prompt Discovery

Users can access prompts from all chats through the Chat History entry point on the Ask screen. Prompts are presented as a unified list, independent of chat grouping, and ordered by execution time (latest first). Each prompt is displayed along with its source chat and execution timestamp, providing sufficient context for identification and reuse.

• Prompts are displayed as the primary entity.

• The interface follows a flat list model, where prompts are not grouped by chat.

• Each prompt is displayed independently, with associated metadata for context.

  

Search and Filtering

The interface supports prompt-level search and filtering to enable efficient navigation across large volumes of prompt history.

• Search is applied strictly on prompt text.

• Filters allow selection based on source chats with multi-select capability.

• Chat options are presented based on recent activity.

• Applied filters are summarized without impacting the main view.

Prompt Actions and Selection

Each prompt supports contextual actions for reuse and traceability:

• Copy prompt text

• View associated generated code (SQL/Python)

• Navigate to the originating chat and corresponding result

Users can select multiple prompts across different chats and execution timelines. There are no restrictions on combining prompts, allowing flexible construction of analytical workflows.

Parameterized Recipe Creation

Users can create recipe in two ways:

1. Create Recipe from Chat

2. Create Recipe from Scratch

Create Recipe from Chat

A user performs an analysis in askEdgi by interacting with data through prompts and refining the results until the desired outcome is achieved. Once the analysis is complete, the user can save the conversation as a recipe in two ways:

My Chats

• In the My Chats section, hover over the required chat.

• Click the Create a Recipe icon displayed next to the chat.

• askEdgi opens the Recipe Builder and guides you through the recipe creation process.

  

Prompt History

• Navigate to Prompt History.

• Select one or more prompts that you want to include in the recipe.

• Click Create a Recipe.

• askEdgi opens the Recipe Builder and generates the recipe workflow based on the selected prompts.

  

The Recipe Builder consists of three sections:

• Basic Information

• Configure Parameters

• Steps Builder

Basic Information

The Basic Information section defines the recipe and its purpose.

Configure Parameters

The Configure Parameters section allows recipe authors to define inputs that users provide when executing a recipe. These inputs make the recipe reusable by allowing different values to be supplied at runtime without modifying the recipe logic.

Steps Builder

The Steps Builder defines the workflow that runs when the recipe is executed. When a recipe is created from an askEdgi chat, askEdgi automatically generates the recipe steps based on the selected analysis.

Each step includes:

• Execution Overview

• Prompt

• SQL or Python Code

For more details refer to Creating Recipes

Detect and Bind Parameters

The Detect & Bind Parameters option helps convert static workflows in the recipe into reusable parameters. When selected, the system scans the step prompts and code to identify fixed values that match the parameters configured in the Configure Parameters section.

After reviewing the detected parameters, users can:

• Accept the suggested parameter mappings.

• Reject unwanted parameter mappings.

After reviewing the detected parameters, users must select Inject into Code to replace the dynamic values with the accepted parameters.

Once injected, the step uses the parameter value provided during recipe execution instead of the original dynamic value. This enables the recipe to run with different inputs without modifying the underlying logic.

Users can repeat this process for multiple steps to create a fully parameterized recipe and save.

Example

Before parameterization:

Credit date = '14-03-2026'

After parameterization:

Credit date = {{Customer Credit date}}

Once the parameter is created, users provide the Credit date during execution instead of modifying the recipe logic.

Executing a Parameterized Recipe

After a recipe is saved, users can execute the recipe in one of the following ways:

• From askEdgi Prompt – Open the Recipe Executor from the prompt area and select the required recipe.

  
• From the Recipes Page – Navigate to the Recipes page, select the required recipe.

  

Recipe Execution Flow

• Select the recipe to execute.

• Click Execute.

  
• If the recipe contains configured parameters, the execution screen displays all required input fields and user can click on Execute button.

• Now in the askEdgi Chat window, Users can review the parameters and provide the required values based on the analysis requirements.

  

After providing the required inputs, run the analysis on the recipe. The same recipe can be executed multiple times with different parameter values without modifying the underlying recipe logic.

Searching and Filtering Recipes

The My Recipes page provides search and filtering capabilities that help users quickly find recipes by ownership, publication status, Marketplace subscriptions, and creation date.

These capabilities become especially useful when managing a large collection of personal, organizational, and Marketplace recipes.

Search Recipes

The search bar allows users to quickly locate recipes without manually browsing through recipe cards.

Users can search recipes using:

• Recipe Name

• Recipe Description

• Recipe Creator

• Created Date

As users enter search criteria, the recipe list is automatically updated to display matching results.

The search functionality helps users quickly locate specific recipes, identify recipes created by a particular user, or find recipes associated with a specific business process.

For example, users can search for:

• Customer Churn Analysis

• Revenue Dashboard

• Created by John Smith

• Recipes created during a specific period

Filter Recipes

The Filter By option allows users to narrow the displayed recipes by recipe ownership, publication status, Marketplace subscriptions, and creation date.

Multiple filters can be selected simultaneously to refine search results.

After selecting the required filters, select Apply Filters to update the recipe list.

Enterprise Instance Filters

In Enterprise deployments, users can filter recipes based on ownership and availability.

Available filters include:

Filter	Description
My Recipes	Displays recipes created by the current user.
Recipes Shared within the Organization	Displays recipes shared by other users within the organization.
Subscribed from Marketplace	Displays recipes imported from Marketplace.

These filters help users distinguish among personal, organization-shared, and Marketplace recipes.

Public Instance Filters

In Public deployments, users can filter recipes by publication lifecycle.

Available filters include:

Filter	Description
Draft	Displays recipes that have been saved but not submitted for publication.
Requested	Displays recipes that have been submitted for publication and are awaiting approval.
Published	Displays recipes that have been approved and published to Marketplace.
Rejected	Displays recipes whose publication requests were rejected during review.
Subscribed from Marketplace	Displays recipes imported from Marketplace.

These filters provide visibility into the publication status of recipes and help users manage Marketplace submissions more efficiently.

Filter by Date Range

Users can also filter recipes based on their creation date.

The date range filter allows users to select a custom date range to identify recipes created within that period.

Users can combine the date filter with other search and filter options to further refine the displayed results.

For example, users can:

• View Marketplace recipes imported during a specific period.

• View organization recipes created within a selected date range.

Using search and filters together helps users quickly locate relevant recipes and manage large recipe collections more efficiently.

Viewing Recipe Details

Selecting a recipe card opens the Recipe Details panel, which provides a consolidated view of recipe information, execution activity, and available recipe actions.

Viewing Step Outputs

The output generated by each recipe step is displayed directly within the chat workspace.

Users can:

• Review step-level results.

• Expand output tables.

• Download generated results.

• View outputs produced by previous steps.

This visibility helps users understand how data is processed throughout the workflow and how each step contributes to the final result.

Continuing the Analysis

After the recipe completes, users can continue working with the results using natural language prompts.

This allows users to:

• Ask follow-up questions about the results.

• Refine the analysis.

• Request additional calculations.

• Explore related datasets.

• Perform further data investigation without creating a new recipe.

For example, after executing a product analysis recipe, users can ask questions such as:

• Show only discontinued products.

• Group results by category.

• Calculate the average unit price.

• Display products with low inventory levels.

The conversational interface allows users to build on the recipe output rather than start a new analysis from scratch.

Workspace Context Preservation

The execution results remain available within the active askEdgi conversation.

This enables users to:

• Review previous outputs.

• Reference earlier execution steps.

• Continue the analysis using the same context.

• Maintain a complete audit trail of recipe execution and follow-up interactions.

When to Use Execute in askEdgi

Use Execute in askEdgi when:

• Additional analysis is required after recipe execution.

• Users want to ask follow-up questions about the results.

• Interactive exploration of the output is needed.

• Results must be refined using natural language instructions.

• The recipe serves as a starting point for deeper investigation.

Use the standard Execute option when only the recipe output is required without additional conversational analysis.

Execute in askEdgi uses the same recipe logic and produces the same output as the standard execution process. The primary difference is that execution occurs within the askEdgi conversational workspace, allowing users to continue interacting with the results after the recipe completes.

Deleting Recipes

Users can delete recipes they no longer need from the My Recipes page. The delete option is available only for recipes that the user owns or has imported from the Marketplace.

When a user hovers over an eligible recipe card, a Delete icon appears in the upper-right corner of the card.

Recipes That Can Be Deleted

Users can delete:

• Recipes they created.

• Recipes imported from the Marketplace.

• Draft recipes.

• Recipes they shared with the organization, after unsharing or removing them from the organization.

Recipes That Cannot Be Deleted

Users cannot delete:

• Recipes created by other users.

• Recipes shared by other members of the organization.

• Recipes for which they do not have ownership permissions.

Deleting a Recipe

To delete a recipe:

1. Navigate to My Recipes.

2. Locate the recipe to delete.

3. Hover over the recipe card.

4. Select the Delete icon.

5. Review the confirmation message.

6. Select Yes to permanently delete the recipe.

Delete Confirmation

Before the recipe is removed, the system displays a confirmation dialog to prevent accidental deletion.

The confirmation message informs the user that the recipe will be deleted from the system.

Users can:

• Select Yes to proceed with the deletion.

• Select No to cancel the operation and retain the recipe.

After confirmation:

• The recipe is permanently removed from My Recipes.

• The recipe definition, configuration, and execution workflow are deleted.

• The recipe is no longer available for execution.

• The recipe no longer appears in search results or recipe listings.

If the deleted recipe was previously shared with the organization, it is also removed from the shared recipe list and becomes inaccessible to other users.

Note: Recipe deletion is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Ensure that the recipe is no longer required before confirming the deletion.

Example

A user creates a recipe named ProductID Detail Extraction Workflow for a temporary analysis project. After the project is completed, the recipe is no longer needed. The user hovers over the recipe card, selects the Delete icon, confirms the action, and the recipe is permanently removed from the environment.

Marketplace Recipe Management

The Marketplace enables users to publish reusable recipes for discovery, execution, and collaboration. Public deployment users can create, manage, track, and publish recipes directly from askEdgi without leaving the application.

Recipe execution: Common failure reasons

• Required datasets are missing from the workspace

• Insufficient permissions to access catalog objects

• Column names or structures differ from the recipe's expectations

• Workspace compute limits exceeded

Best Practices

Naming Conventions

Use clear, descriptive names that explain what the recipe does. Avoid generic names like "Analysis 1" or "Report."

Good examples:

• "Monthly Sales Summary by Region"

• "Customer Sentiment Analysis with Risk Classification"

• "Data Quality Check for Orders Table"

Documentation:

Write descriptions that help others understand the recipe's purpose, required inputs, and expected outputs. Include guidance on when to use the recipe and what insights it provides.

Testing Before Sharing

Execute the recipe on test data before sharing it with your organization or publishing to the Marketplace. Verify that all steps produce correct results and that visualizations are accurate.

Version Control

If you modify a recipe significantly, save it as a new recipe with a version indicator in the name (example: "Customer Analysis v2"). This preserves the original workflow while allowing experimentation.

Metadata Recipes

When creating metadata recipes, document which catalog objects or metadata domains the recipe targets. This helps users understand whether the recipe applies to their governance needs.

Troubleshooting Recipe Execution

The recipe fails immediately

• Cause: Required datasets are not in the workspace

• Solution: Add the necessary catalog objects or files to your workspace before executing the recipe

The recipe produces unexpected results

• Cause: Column names or structures differ from the original analysis

• Solution: Review the recipe steps and verify that the datasets in your workspace match the expected schema

Recipe times out or exceeds limits

• Cause: Large datasets or complex joins exceed workspace capacity

• Solution: Upgrade the workspace container or simplify the recipe by breaking it into smaller steps

The recipe cannot be executed in my edition

• Cause: The recipe requires connectors or features not available in your edition.

• Solution: Verify that the recipe is compatible with your deployment model (Public, SaaS Data Analytics, SaaS Metadata Analytics, or On-Prem)

Example of Recipe

Creating a Recipe with a Real Use Case

Example Scenario

Business Question:

“How are customers feeling about our support tickets, and which issues need immediate attention?”

This example walks through creating a Customer Support Sentiment Analysis recipe using a real dataset and AI enrichment.

Step 1: Start with an Analysis (Chat-Based)

Assume you already have a table in your workspace:

Table: support_tickets Columns:

• ticket_id

• created_date

• customer_comment

• priority

• category

You run the following steps in a chat.

Step 2: Basic Data Selection

SELECT 
  ticket_id,
  created_date,
  customer_comment,
  priority,
  category
FROM support_tickets
WHERE created_date >= current_date - INTERVAL '30 days';

This filters tickets from the last 30 days.

Step 3: AI Enrichment – Sentiment Analysis

Apply Sentiment Analysis on the customer_comment column.

AI Function: Sentiment Analysis

Input Column: customer_comment

Output Column: sentiment

Values: Positive / Neutral / Negative

Step 4: AI Enrichment – Intent Classification

Add an Intent Analysis step to understand why customers raised tickets.

AI Function: Intent Analysis

Input Column: customer_comment

Output Column: intent

Example Values:

• Complaint

• Support Request

• Feature Request

• Billing Issue

Step 5: Derived Insight (Optional)

Create a calculated column to flag high-risk tickets.

CASE 
  WHEN sentiment = 'Negative' AND priority = 'High' THEN 'High Risk'
  ELSE 'Normal'
END AS risk_flag

Step 6: Save the Chat as a Recipe

Click Save as Recipe and fill in:

• Recipe Name: Customer Support Sentiment & Risk Analysis

• Description: Analyzes customer support tickets from the last 30 days, classifies sentiment and intent using AI, and highlights high-risk tickets requiring immediate attention.

Step 7: Define Ingredients

Ingredients (Included):

• support_tickets (table)

Why include ingredients?

This recipe depends on a specific table structure and should only run when that dataset is available.

Step 8: Review Recipe Components

When saved, the recipe contains:

Component	Captured Value
Ingredients	support_tickets
Steps	SQL query + Sentiment Analysis + Intent Analysis + Risk flag
Analysis Type	Data Analytics
Outputs	Table + charts (sentiment distribution, risk count)

Step 9: Execute the Recipe Later

Next month, a user can simply:

1. Add support_tickets to their workspace

2. Open Recipes → My Recipes

3. Click Execute on Customer Support Sentiment & Risk Analysis

askEdgi:

• Re-runs the same logic

• Applies AI enrichments again

• Generates a new chat with updated insights

No manual rework required.
