AI Assistant

The AI Assistant is powered by Claude and can help you manage your data through natural conversation. Ask questions, analyze data, create content, and automate tasks - all by typing in the chat pane.

What Claude Can Do

2Make sure you're in Agent mode to access tools (default)
3Type your request naturally - Claude will figure out what tools to use
4Watch Claude work - you'll see tool execution in real-time

Agent vs Chat Mode

Toggle between two modes depending on what you need:

Agent Mode

Recommended

✓ Create and modify rows
✓ Run AI templates
✓Web search & analysis

Chat Mode

Conversation only - no tools or data access.

✓ General questions
✓ Brainstorming ideas
✓ Writing help
✗ Cannot access your data

AI Tools

In Agent mode, Claude has access to these powerful tools:

Database Tool

Query and modify your data directly

Search, filter, and sort with natural language

Deduplication

Find and remove duplicate rows based on email, name, phone, or any combination of fields. Just ask Claude naturally:

"Find duplicate rows based on email"

"Find duplicates where name AND company match"

"Remove duplicates, keeping the first occurrence"

Claude groups matches and asks for confirmation before deleting. Deletions are permanent.

Data Augmentation

Automatically research and enrich your data via web search. Add company size, industry, LinkedIn profiles, recent funding, and more.

How It Works

Create an AI template with web search enabled
Claude researches each contact's company
Results populate a new column

Example Prompts

"Research each company and add industry + employee count"

"Find LinkedIn URLs for each contact"

Web search costs $0.01 per lookup ($10 per 1,000 searches).

AI Templates

Generate content for hundreds of rows at once. Create a template, apply to any list.

How It Works

Create a template with {column} placeholders
Apply to a list - Claude processes each row
Results populate a new column automatically

Example: Lead Scoring

Rate this lead 1-10:
{name}, {title} at {company}
Return only a number.

Pro tip:Enable Web Search to research each contact's company in real-time.

Tips & Best Practices

Choose Your Model

Switch between models anytime using the dropdown in the chat header:

=summarize [Description]1 in 2 sentences

AI will summarize the Description column value for row 1

=what industry is [Company]1 in?

AI will analyze the company name and return its industry

Tips

• Drag to fill: Drag the formula handle to apply to multiple rows
• Recalculate: Click the calculator icon in the toolbar to refresh formulas
• AI costs: AI formulas use your AI credits (see Pricing)

API Integration

Connect Detris to your tools via our REST API. Sync data with your CRM, trigger workflows, or build custom integrations.

Get Started

Create an API key in your account settings, then use it to authenticate requests.

View API Reference Get API Key

Webhooks

Get notified instantly when AI generation completes or data is imported. Webhooks push data to your server automatically, so you don't need to poll the API.

Setting Up Webhooks

Open your profile menu and go to Settings → Webhooks
Click Add Webhook
Enter your HTTPS endpoint URL
Select which events you want to receive
Optionally scope the webhook to a specific list

Configure Webhooks

Available Events

bulk_import.completed	When a CSV/data import finishes
ai_generation.completed	When AI column generation finishes
ai_generation.failed	When AI generation fails

Example Payload

{
  "event": "ai_generation.completed",
  "timestamp": "2025-11-30T20:00:00Z",
  "webhook_id": "abc123",
  "data": {
    "listId": "list_456",
    "columnName": "Lead Score",
    "rowsProcessed": 50,
    "apiUrl": "/lists/list_456/rows"
  }
}

After receiving a webhook, call the API with your API key to fetch the generated data.

Per-List Webhooks

You can scope webhooks to specific lists. When set to a specific list, the webhook only fires for events on that list. Global webhooks (no list selected) fire for all lists.

Rate Limits

API rate limits vary by plan. These limits help ensure fair usage and platform stability.

Free Plan

API Requests	5,000/month
Rows Processed	5,000/month
Rate Limit	20 req/min
Webhook Endpoints	5
Rows per AI Template Run	50,000

Plus / Pro Plans

API Requests	Unlimited
Rows Processed	Unlimited
Rate Limit	200 req/min
Webhook Endpoints	50
Rows per AI Template Run	200,000

Storage limits: Free: 50K rows/list, 500 columns. Plus: 500K rows/list, 1K columns.

Rate Limit Responses

When you exceed rate limits, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests response. Implement exponential backoff in your integration to handle these gracefully.

{
  "error": "rate_limit_exceeded",
  "message": "Too many requests. Please retry after 60 seconds.",
  "retry_after": 60
}
