# Inputs for AI skills

Learn about the inputs of each skill for the ServiceNow Otto for Strategic Portfolio Management application. By configuring the inputs for a skill, you can determine how and when a skill is used.

## AI skill inputs overview

Depending on the selected skill, you can configure inputs. These settings determine how a skill is used. An input identifies the data that is used for a skill, such as the table and fields that are used to generate a demand summary. If you have the admin role and any input fields are editable, you can modify the input data for a skill.

## Demand summarization skill inputs

The demand summarization skill includes the inputs that identify the table along with the fields and related lists that are used to generate the demand summary. The following table provides more details on the input data.
