Celigo has introduced an AI-powered assistant called AI Copilot, a smart, conversational helper built into its integration platform. This tool is specifically designed to make building, debugging, and exploring integrations smoother and faster by understanding exactly what you’re working on at any moment and offering tailored advice in real time.
Instead of forcing users to search through manuals or scattered resources, Copilot draws heavily from Celigo’s official Help Centre documentation and platform expertise. It appears in a convenient, movable, and resizable chat panel where you can ask questions in everyday language.
The article highlights how valuable this is for newcomers who are still learning the platform’s features and terminology, as well as for anyone who hits a snag while creating a flow. Rather than piecing together info from multiple sources, you can simply describe your issue or goal conversationally, and Copilot responds with relevant suggestions, explanations, code snippets, or pointers to documentation.
A practical example walks through a real-world scenario: Imagine you’re setting up an integration flow for a SaaS company’s web operations team. The flow pulls new product development stories from Jira and turns them into publication tasks in Asana. Everything works fine until you need to handle the Jira story description, which arrives as deeply nested arrays (an outer “Content” array containing objects, each with its own inner “Content” array holding paragraph text).
The goal is to flatten all nested text into a single, clean string for a single Asana field.
When the user gets stuck and asks Copilot something like “How can I combine this nested Jira description into one string?”, the assistant quickly suggests multiple solutions:
- One option uses JSONPath expressions to extract and aggregate the text from the nested structure. Copilot even provides sample test data that mirrors the problem and shows exactly how to apply the syntax.
- Another approach relies on Handlebars templating (a feature Celigo supports for data transformation). Copilot explains how to loop through the arrays using helpers like {{#each}} to pull out the paragraphs, then use {{#unless}} to add spaces or separators only between items (not after the last one), resulting in properly formatted text with paragraph breaks.
Because the assistant remembers the conversation, you can follow up naturally, for instance, asking for more detail on a specific Handlebars helper or requesting a cleaner version of the earlier suggestion. If a response feels overwhelming, you can ask it to summarise the previous answer. Copilot also proactively includes links to related documentation, recommends next steps, and suggests additional prompts if you’re unsure where to go next.
Beyond fixing specific technical hurdles, Copilot serves as a discovery tool. It can summarise unfamiliar features, point you straight to the right docs, or reveal capabilities you didn’t know existed so you can apply them more effectively.
In short, Celigo’s AI Copilot is a practical, context-sensitive companion that reduces friction in the integration-building process—especially helpful for both beginners learning the ropes and experienced users who want quicker resolutions to complex data handling or configuration questions.
