Ability 3
Omni: Enterprise-level AI assistant, cross-Base search and Q&A (depending on package)

Implementation recommendations
- First sort out the boundaries of structured data and permissions, and then enable AI fields/assistants
- Use private models or desensitize sensitive data before calling public APIs
- AI output requires manual inspection, and key processes are kept in the rules engine.
- In the POC stage, select 1–2 high-frequency scenarios to verify ROI before promoting
