Valid8 Release 13.14.0 — Product Update Summary
Major Update: Introducing Prompt Categorization
This release brings Prompt Categorization to the transaction page — a new AI-powered way to classify your transactions using plain-language prompts.
- Categorize transactions with your own prompts
- Write a categorization prompt in your own words, or pick one you've saved, and run it against your transactions. Each transaction is sent to our secured LLM, which returns both a category and a more specific sub-category — written straight back into the transaction grid. The best way to write a prompt is to think of it like handing instructions to an analyst you've asked to categorize transactions. Spell out the categories you want, how to handle edge cases, and any rules of thumb you'd give a real person doing the job — the clearer your guidance, the better and more consistent the results.
- Save and reuse your prompts
- Build a library of prompts that fit how your organization thinks about its transactions. Save a prompt, tweak it and save again, or "Save As" to spin off a new variation. Your prompts and your last-used selection persist across sessions, so they're ready the next time you open the dialog.
- Accurate results by design
- Prompt Categorization uses structured output and an efficient model to deliver precise, consistent category and sub-category labels across your full transaction set.
- Helpful prompts out of the box
- Sample prompts ship ready to use — written to be industry-relevant and easy to read — so you can get quality categorizations right away and adapt them to your needs.
