HATZ AI: Master Tool Calling & Data Integration for Industrial Engineers

Introduction to Tool Calling & Data Connection

The video introduces the concept of tool calling, connecting to data, and building upon previous discussions about tool selection and the 'auto tool' feature.

Understanding 'Tools' vs. 'Tool Calls'

The speaker clarifies the terminology, defining 'tools' or 'integrations' as broad connections (e.g., Microsoft 365) and 'tool calls' as the specific, invokable functions AI can perform within those tools.

Google Maps & Perplexity Tool Call Examples

Concrete examples are given using Google Maps and Perplexity to illustrate how a single tool (e.g., Google Maps) has multiple specific tool calls (e.g., maps text search, nearby search, get directions).

Best Practice: Discovering Tool Calls

A prompt engineering 'life hack' is shared: asking AI to list and categorize all available tool calls for a specific integration (e.g., Microsoft 365) to understand its full capabilities.

Best Practice: AI-Assisted Prompt Writing

The video demonstrates how to use AI to write specific prompts for complex tasks, like retrieving data from a specific OneDrive folder, by referencing the discovered tool calls.

Best Practice: Discovering Use Cases

Another best practice is presented: asking AI to suggest common, easy-to-build use cases for a connected integration, or even for all connected tools via 'auto tool'.

Core Principle: Use AI to Use AI

The speaker emphasizes the overarching principle of leveraging AI itself to navigate the platform, understand capabilities, and optimize prompting for better outcomes, making it a conversational process.
