AI content generation via AI Power Ups

TL;DR

Inject CmsGenerateEntryContentUseCase (from webiny/api/ai-powerups) and call execute(...). It uses the provider the user configured in AI Power Ups and applies an optional Project, Writer Persona, or Reader Persona — so you never pick models, decrypt API keys, or hardcode prompts. It returns the AI-generated entry values as a JSON string; parse it and take the field(s) you want.

Prefer this over a raw Ai.generateText call whenever the point is "apply the user's configured AI setup" — it composes the product with itself and is far less plumbing.

Generate content

import { CmsGenerateEntryContentUseCase } from "webiny/api/ai-powerups";

class MyThing {
  constructor(private generate: CmsGenerateEntryContentUseCase.Interface) {}

  async run(model, entry, ctx) {
    const result = await this.generate.execute({
      modelId: model.modelId,
      prompt: `Write a one-sentence marketing summary for "${entry.values.name}". Fill only the "aiSummary" field.`,
      // Any of these are optional; they map to what the user configured in AI Power Ups:
      projectId: ctx?.projectId, // a bundled context (instructions + files + default personas)
      writerPersonaId: ctx?.writerPersonaId, // tone
      readerPersonaId: ctx?.readerPersonaId // audience
    });
    if (result.isFail()) {
      throw result.error; // e.g. "No AI provider configured. Add a provider in AI Power Ups settings."
    }
    return result.value; // { values, telemetry }
  }
}

Register the dependency: dependencies: [CmsGenerateEntryContentUseCase].

Output shape — important

result.value.values is an entry-shaped object keyed by the model's field ids (the use case is built to fill an entry from its schema). The AI decides which fields it fills, so:

• Read only the field(s) you want (e.g. result.value.values.aiSummary) — do NOT blindly write the whole object back, or the AI could overwrite name, price, etc.
• Type the values at the call site if you like: execute<{ aiSummary?: string }>(...), which makes result.value.values.aiSummary typed (defaults to Record<string, any>).
• Guard for the field being absent (the model may not have filled it): fall back to "" and, if you're inside a converging background task, still mark the entry done so it doesn't loop.

Then persist with UpdateEntryUseCase (values nested; skipValidation: true for a targeted field write).

Admin — list configured contexts (for a picker)

To let the user pick a Project/Persona in the Admin UI, read AI Power Ups settings with GetSettingsFeature (from webiny/admin/ai-powerups):

import { useFeature } from "webiny/admin";
import { GetSettingsFeature } from "webiny/admin/ai-powerups";

const { useCase: getSettings } = useFeature(GetSettingsFeature);
const settings = await getSettings.execute();
// settings.writerPersonas.presets / settings.readerPersonas.presets / settings.projects.presets
// each preset: { id, name, description, ... }

Forward the chosen id(s) to your backend (e.g. via a bulk action's data).

• @webiny/ai-powerups's AiImageEnrichmentTask shows the alternative (raw, hardcoded Ai.generateText) — use that only when you deliberately don't want the configured setup.
