Automatically classify your entire app portfolio in minutes using AI—so you can spend less time on manual tagging and more time on strategic decisions.

Overview

AI-Powered Fields is a new capability in the Apps table that lets you automatically classify all your applications using AI. Instead of manually reviewing and tagging each app, you define classification criteria and the system processes your entire portfolio in minutes. With AI-Powered Fields, you can:
  • Eliminate manual categorization work — Classify hundreds of apps in ~4 minutes instead of hours
  • Ensure consistency — AI applies the same logic across all apps, removing human inconsistency
  • Improve downstream AI features — Clean app data directly improves Policy Mining recommendations and Albus answers
  • Keep classifications current — Regenerate anytime as your app portfolio changes

Setting Up an AI-Powered Field

Step 1: Navigate to the Apps Table

Go to Apps in the main navigation.

Step 2: Add a New Column

  1. Click Column in the table toolbar
  2. Select Create new column or choose an existing column to enhance
  3. Enable AI Autofill for the column

Step 3: Configure Your Field

1. Choose a field type:
  • Single-select — One value per app (e.g., Essential / Not Essential / Unknown)
  • Multi-select — Multiple values per app (e.g., Use Cases like HR, Finance, Engineering)
  • Text — Free-form AI-generated descriptions
2. Define your options (for single/multi-select)
  • Add the possible values the AI can assign
  • Include an “Unknown” option for apps where AI lacks confidence
3. Write your classification prompt
  • Use one of the templates below, or write your own
  • Be specific about your criteria for each classification

Step 4: Generate Classifications

  1. Click Run AI
  2. Wait approximately 4 minutes for processing to complete
  3. You can continue working in Lumos while generation runs in the background

Step 5: Review and Refine

  1. Sort or filter by your new column to review results
  2. Pay special attention to apps marked “Unknown” — these need manual classification
  3. Manually edit any incorrect values by clicking directly on the cell
Tip: Spot-check 10-15 apps across different categories to validate accuracy before relying on the classifications.

Prompt Library

Copy these templates to get started quickly. Customize the criteria to match your organization’s definitions. Essential Apps Classification Field type: Single-select Options: Essential, Not Essential, Unknown Prompt:
Use Cases Classification Field type: Multi-select Options: Engineering, Sales, Marketing, HR, Finance, IT, Security, Operations, Customer Support, General Productivity, Unknown Prompt:

Creating Custom Prompts

When writing your own classification prompts:
  • Be explicit about criteria — Define exactly what qualifies for each classification
  • Include edge case guidance — Tell the AI what to do when information is ambiguous
  • Reference available data — The AI can use: app name, description, category, user count, and assignment percentage
  • Add an “Unknown” option — Gives the AI a safe fallback instead of guessing

FAQ

How accurate is the AI?

In internal testing, AI-Powered Fields achieve >90% accuracy on valid classifications. However, Lumos recommends reviewing results rather than trusting them blindly. Apps marked “Unknown” are cases where the AI lacked confidence and explicitly flagged them for your review.

What data does the AI use?

The AI considers: app name, description, number of accessible accounts, assignment percentage, app status (approved/unapproved), and category. Apps with richer descriptions produce better results. The AI does not access user-level data or sensitive account information.

What if I manually edit an AI-generated value?

Manual edits are preserved during normal operation. However, clicking Run AI will reprocess all apps and overwrite your manual changes. Finalize manual edits after you’re done iterating on your prompt.

Can I generate for just some apps?

Currently, Generate processes all apps in your domain. Selective processing is on the roadmap. As a workaround, manually edit individual values after generation.

Can I export AI-generated classifications?

Yes. AI-generated columns appear in any CSV export from the Apps table, just like manually-created columns.
