== ✨ AI Powered FlexTable ==

With just one click, your visitors receive a clear and concise summary of your entire table. People naturally prefer quick, ready-made answers. This feature helps them understand your data faster than ever before.

**How it works**

There are two quick ways to showcase the AI table summary for your users.

* **Generate on Click**: Visitors will see a button to summarize the table. When they click, AI will create the summary live using your prompt. Suitable for tables with frequently changing data.

* **Instant Summary (Pro)**: You can generate and save the summary in advance. Visitors will see it immediately. Suitable for tables with mostly static data.

This feature is useful for building tools like **student report cards**, **class grading systems**, or **course schedules**. It also supports broader record-management workflows where clear and accessible data presentation is required.

Examples of how it can be used:

* Let users search records by ID, grade level, or class section.
