Language model prompt authoring and execution in a database system

A method comprising:

• providing a plurality of tenants access via a communication interface to web applications through which information stored in a database system is accessible, the communication interface receiving an indication of a database field associated with a database object definition from a designated tenant of the plurality of tenants;
• retrieving from a storage device a prompt template specific to the designated tenant, the prompt template including one or more natural language instructions for generating text, the prompt template including a reference to the database field associated with the database object definition configured by receiving a selection of the database field through a graphical user interface provided by the database system;
• retrieving from a relational database one or more database records associated with the designated tenant and corresponding to the one or more database object definitions, the relational database storing information for the plurality of tenants in accordance with a plurality of database object definitions including a plurality of database fields, the plurality of database object definitions including the one or more database object definitions;
• determining a text generation prompt based on the one or more database records and the prompt template, the text generation prompt including a database value from the one or more database records corresponding to the database field, wherein determining the text generation prompt involves filling a live interaction fillable portion of the prompt template with text determined based on a live interaction between a client machine and the database system;
• and
• transmitting to a client device novel text generated by a generative language model based on the text generation prompt.
