Map Word Templates With AI From Your Assistant
Mapping a Word template means linking each placeholder in a DOCX file to a data field so the document can be generated automatically. With AI, you upload the document and the mapping is done for you.
Manual mapping vs AI mapping
- Manual: insert merge fields one by one and match them to data names.
- AI: the AI reads the document and the data of the flow, finds placeholders and sample values, and places fields on each one.
Step by step from an AI assistant
- In ChatGPT, Claude or Grok, ask to set up a document template for a flow.
- Upload the Word file in the upload card.
- The assistant runs
instrument_word_template. - Review the mapped fields and adjust anything unclear.
- Test generation with sample data.
Tips
- Use clear sample values in the template, such as “ACME Ltd” for company name.
- Keep one template per document type and use conditions for variations.
- Store the final template version under document control.
