Actions are the operations your Hyperaide assistant can perform on your databases and workflows. They transform your assistant from a passive information store into an active productivity partner.

​
What are Actions?

Actions are built-in capabilities that allow your assistant to interact with your data. Rather than just storing information, your assistant can create, update, search, and manipulate records across all your databases.
You don’t need to set up or configure actions—they’re automatically available for all your databases once you create them.

​
Core Actions

Your assistant comes with powerful built-in actions:

Create Records

Add new items to any database with natural language“Add a task to review the quarterly report by Friday”

Update Records

Modify existing entries easily“Mark the design review task as complete”

Query & Search

Find information across all your databases“Show me all tasks due this week”

Delete Records

Remove items you no longer need“Delete all completed tasks from last month”

Link Records

Connect related items across databases“Link this task to the Website Redesign project”

Bulk Operations

Perform actions on multiple records at once“Mark all Q1 project tasks as archived”

​
How Actions Work

When you send a message to your assistant, it analyzes your intent and determines which actions to take:
1

Natural Language Processing

You send a message in plain language: “Add a task to call the client tomorrow”
2

Intent Recognition

Your assistant understands you want to create a new record in the tasks database
3

Action Execution

The assistant executes the create action with the appropriate data
4

Confirmation

You receive confirmation that the action was completed successfully

​
Creating Records

Add new records to your databases conversationally:
  • Tasks
  • Projects
  • Contacts
  • Notes
"Add a task to review the budget by Friday"
"Create a task: call Mom tomorrow at 3pm"
"New task - finish the presentation, high priority"
Your assistant is smart about understanding context. If you mention “tomorrow,” “next week,” or “Friday,” it automatically calculates the correct date.

​
Updating Records

Modify existing records naturally: 
"Mark the design review task as complete"
"Change the project status to in progress"
"Set the priority of the budget review to high"

"Change the meeting time to 3pm"
"Update the description of the website project"
"Move the task deadline to next Friday"

"Add a note to the client meeting task about what was discussed"
"Include Sarah's phone number in her contact"
"Update the project with today's progress"

​
Querying Records

Search and retrieve information from your databases:
  • Simple Queries
  • Filtered Queries
  • Complex Queries
  • Aggregations
"Show me all my tasks"
"What tasks are due this week?"
"List all my projects"
"Find contacts in San Francisco"

​
Linking Records

Create relationships between records in different databases:
1

Identify Related Items

You have a task that belongs to a project, or a note that relates to a contact
2

Request the Link

“Link the design task to the Website Redesign project”
3

Automatic Connection

Your assistant creates the relationship automatically
4

Query Connected Data

“Show me all tasks for the Website Redesign project”
Links work bidirectionally. If you link a task to a project, you can query tasks from the project OR query the project from the task.

​
Bulk Operations

Perform actions on multiple records simultaneously: 
"Mark all tasks in the Q1 project as complete"
"Change all high priority tasks to medium priority"
"Set all contacts in New York to category: East Coast"

"Delete all completed tasks from last year"
"Remove all tasks with no due date"
"Clear all archived projects"

"Create tasks for each step in the project plan"
"Add a weekly review task for the next 4 weeks"
"Generate contacts from this email list"

"Link all design tasks to the Website Redesign project"
"Connect all Q1 notes to the quarterly review project"
"Associate all client contacts with the Sales project"
Bulk operations are powerful but irreversible. Your assistant will typically ask for confirmation before executing bulk deletions or updates.

​
Action Workflows

Combine actions to create powerful workflows:
  • Task Management
  • Project Planning
  • Contact Management
  • Data Cleanup
Daily Review Workflow
  1. “Show me all tasks due today”
  2. “Mark the completed ones as done”
  3. “Reschedule any remaining ones to tomorrow”
  4. “Create a summary of what I accomplished”

​
Smart Context Understanding

Your assistant understands context and can chain actions intelligently: 
You: "Create a project for the website redesign"
Assistant: ✓ Created project "Website Redesign"

You: "Add tasks for it: design mockups, develop frontend, test on mobile"
Assistant: ✓ Created 3 tasks and linked them to Website Redesign

​
Best Practices

Be Specific

The more specific your request, the better the result. Include relevant details like dates, priorities, and categories.

Use Natural Language

Don’t worry about syntax or commands. Talk to your assistant like you would a human colleague.

Confirm Bulk Actions

Review what will be affected before confirming bulk operations, especially deletions.

Link Related Data

Create connections between records to build a rich, queryable knowledge graph.
Remember: Actions are just tools your assistant uses to help you. Focus on what you want to accomplish, not how to do it. Your assistant figures out the right actions to take.
