Grid ai smart features - GridAIRequestDescriptor extend

Hello,

 after playing with AI chat integration with telerikgrid, few bumps up shows:

lets have this scenario- request from aichat, to perform some filtering/operations on grid with clumn names like col1,col2,col3... generic.

            
        public async Task<GridAIResponse> GetGridAIData(GridAIRequestDescriptor request)
        {
            var options = new ChatOptions();
            var columnsx = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<List<GridAIColumn>>(JsonSerializer.Serialize(request.Columns));
              options.Tools = new List<AITool>();
               options.Tools.Clear();
     1)   //describe the columns or general behavior like "aprox, arround, near"
            var ff = ChatOptionsExtensions.GetFilter(columnsx);
            ForceSetDescription(ff, @"
If users enters phrases like 'aprox', 'arround', 'near',
operate with field value in between ±10 %.
Example: 'dimensions arround 1000'  results in: 'dimension >= 900 AND dimension<= 1100'.
");

            options.Tools.Add(ff);
options.Tools.Add(ChatOptionsExtensions.GetSort(columnsx));

ChatResponse completion = await _chatClient.GetResponseAsync(conversationMessages, options);
....
return completion.ExtractGridResponse();
}

how to extend "GridAIRequestDescriptor"?
1) -
ability to describe column(add). but Description is readonly (coders should add titles or any text manually from column definition - be aware. grid IColumn is accessible only by reflection just now)
OR
2) - ability to specify the "meaninfgull name" (place, where coders can add this)
OR
3)- instead of using just "Fieldname"  of the column, use/add the Title(which is more understandable for LLM)
OR
4) field mapping translation layer. GridColumn.Field -> something descriptive and back after fetching response from LLM

fieldnames are mostly "system DB name" and cannot be changed. So FieldName="Column44qty" and Title="qty available stock", you get the point which one tells you more.

new[]
{
new {
Field = "Column44qty",
Title = ""qty available stock",
Type = "number",
Description = "......",
Values = new[] { "x", "yyy", "zzz" }
},...
}

all points 1-4 are not needed, just one of them is ok.

Hello Michal,

Thank you for submitting this request for extending the GridAIColumn class, which is used by GridAIRequestDescriptor.

We will monitor the thread to see if other members of the community are also interested in more properties being exposed for this object, and will consider extending it accordingly. 

Regards,
