# Smart Categories
Smart Categories are one of the most advanced features of Salescaling. They allow you to create custom "moment detectors" that instruct the AI to automatically identify, extract, and group specific topics or events that occur during conversations.
The result of a **Smart Category** that finds a match is the automatic creation of a **Note** and a **Clip** in the corresponding meeting, saving the work of having to search for and create these moments manually.
### 1. Creation and Configuration of a **Smart Category**
To create a new category, you must click the button **+ Add Smart** Category. This will open a form that acts as the training panel for the AI.
* **Name:** A clear and descriptive title for the category (e.g., "Competitor Mentions", "Agreed Next Steps").
* **Description:** A detailed instruction for the AI, explaining the goal and context of what it should look for. It works like a "prompt" that guides the model.
* **Examples:** This is a crucial field. Here you should add examples of exact phrases that the AI could find and that would trigger this category. Providing clear and varied examples is the key to making the AI accurate in its detection.
### 2. Use and Association with Activity Types
A **Smart Category** does not apply to all meetings by default. To activate it, it must be associated with one or more Activity Types.
* **Associated meeting types**: In the detail view of each **Smart Category**, you can see and manage which **Activity Types** it is linked to. The AI will only look for the moments defined by this category in recordings that have one of the associated activity types assigned.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I created a "Smart Category", but it doesn't generate any clip. Why?
The two most common causes are: 1) Not enough clear and varied examples have been added so the AI knows what to look for. 2) The **Smart Category** has not been associated with the **Activity Types** correct ones in its configuration panel.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.salescaling.com/en/platform-settings/configuracion-de-la-ia/smart-categories.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
