Create Tables Using AI

Use NocoAI to auto-generate tables and relationships based on natural language prompts.

Overview

With NocoAI, you can automatically generate tables — including their fields and relationships — just by describing your system in plain language. Ideal for getting started quickly with a new database structure or adding new modules to an existing base.

Steps to Create Tables Using AI

1. Open ** Create Table** modal From the left sidebar, Click + Create New , select Table

2. Select Use NocoAI
   In the dialog, click on ✨ Use NocoAI to begin the AI-assisted process.

3. Choose a Suggestion Mode

   • Auto Suggested : NocoAI provides a set of suggested tables based on your current schema and context.
   • Use Prompt : (Coming Soon) Describe what tables you want in your own words.

4. Click Create [X] Tables
   Select the tables you want from the list and click Create .

Tips for Better AI Suggestions

• Use meaningful table names in your base
  The AI looks at existing names and structures to recommend relevant tables.

• Think in entities
  Imagine the business objects you want to manage (e.g., Candidates, Applications, Feedback, Agencies) and how they connect.

• Preview and refine
  If the suggestions aren't accurate, use the Suggest More button to regenerate.

• Add new modules incrementally
  You can trigger NocoAI for different parts of your app — e.g., one time for recruiting, another for feedback — to build your schema progressively.

What's Next

Once your tables are created:

• Use NocoAI View Suggestions to generate meaningful views
• Create Fields using AI to automatically generate relevant fields for each table

NocoAI gives you a head start — you can customize everything further to meet your needs.

Availability
