Form Set Up
Setting Up an AI-Enabled Image Data Extraction Form in the Didge Platform
Applies To: Didge Platform (Form Builder)
Purpose: To configure a form that enables image upload and AI-based data extraction into designated fields using ChatGPT prompts.
1. Purpose
This SOP outlines the steps to build a form in the Didge Platform that accepts an image input and uses ChatGPT to extract relevant information, populate designated fields, and store the output for operational workflows.
2. Prerequisites
Access to the Didge Platform (form builder module)
A valid Didge user account with form creation permissions
An understanding of the information to be extracted from the image (e.g. object attributes, text data, identifiers, etc.)
3. Form Creation Procedure
Step 1: Start a New Form
Log in to the Didge Platform.
Navigate to Forms > Create New Form.
Enter a form title and description relevant to the context (e.g., “Apple Type Identifier” or “Thermal Image Inspection”).
Step 2: Insert a File Upload Field
Drag and drop the “File Upload” field into the form.
Label it clearly (e.g., “Image Upload”).
Ensure file types accepted include JPG, PNG, and PDF (if scanning documents).
Set the field to Required if every submission needs an image.
Note: This image is the source for AI extraction. It can be uploaded manually or automatically by external integrations (e.g., mobile device + IFTTT).
Step 3: Add Extraction Fields (Text/Number)
Drag and drop Text Field, Number Field, or Date Field components as needed for the information you wish to extract.
Label each field appropriately (e.g., “Apple Type”, “Surface Temperature”, “Document Date”).
Step 4: Configure AI Prompt via Field Description
For each field, open Field Settings > Description.
Enter a clear, descriptive prompt that tells ChatGPT what to extract from the image.
Examples:

Field Label
Description (Prompt for AI)
Apple Type
What is the apple type in the image?
Surface Temp
What is the surface temperature shown in the image?
Document Number
What is the invoice number on the scanned document?
Tip: Think of the description as a direct query to the AI.
Step 5: Save the Form
Review all fields for correct labels, descriptions, and formats.
Click Save Form.
4. Integration into Operations
Step 6: Link Form to Operation
Navigate to Operations > Add Operation.
Assign the form to a workflow or inspection where AI image extraction is needed.
Optionally configure the operation to auto-launch from mobile or trigger via integration (e.g., thermal camera upload).

5. Use Case Notes & Best Practices
Each field can extract distinct pieces of data from the same image.
Add as many fields as required — the more prompts, the richer the extracted data.
Ensure descriptions are context-specific and precise for optimal AI performance.
Ideal for:
Product inspections (e.g., food, parts, documents)
OCR from technical manuals
Thermal image interpretations
Form digitization from photos
6. Verification and Testing
Test the form by uploading an image manually.
Observe how ChatGPT populates each field based on the prompt.
Check that the data returned is:
Contextually accurate
Correctly formatted
Automatically submitted to the linked Didge database
7. Maintenance & Updates
Update field descriptions as extraction requirements evolve.
Periodically review AI performance on sample images.
Maintain version control if forms are revised over time.
