Generate relevant fields for a NocoDB table from a description with NocoAI.

### Overview

Describe the data that you want to manage, and NocoAI generates a set of fields for your table. Use it for a simple list or a complex workflow. NocoAI gives you the right fields in seconds.

### Steps to Create Fields Using AI

Open the table where you want to add fields.

1. In the table header, click the **+** button to the right of the field list. The **+ Add Field** modal opens.
2. In the field creation dialog, select **✨ Use NocoAI**. NocoAI shows suggested fields.

   NocoAI analyzes your table name, existing fields and related context to recommend fields.
3. Edit the field names, types and options as necessary.
4. Select the fields that you need.
5. Click **Create \[X] Fields**. NocoAI adds the fields to your table.

### Tips for Better AI Suggestions

* **Name your table clearly**
  For example, use "Job Applications", not "Table 1". A clear name helps NocoAI recommend better fields.

* **Think in terms of attributes**
  Think about the information that each record must store.
  *Example*: A “Candidate” table may need Full Name, Email, Phone, Resume, Status, and Applied Date.

* **Use existing fields**
  NocoAI looks at your current fields. It does not suggest duplicates, and it suggests only the fields that are missing.

* **Use it iteratively**
  You can get field suggestions again at any time when your table changes.

### Example Scenarios

These are examples of fields that NocoAI can suggest for a table name:

| Table Name         | Suggested Fields                                       |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `Leads`            | Name, Email, Source, Status, Last Contacted            |
| `Tasks`            | Title, Due Date, Priority, Assigned To, Status         |
| `Job Applications` | Candidate Name, Resume, Email, Phone, Application Date |

### What's Next

After your fields are ready, you can:

* Use **[NocoAI View Suggestions](/docs/product/noco-ai/create-view)** to show your data more clearly
* Create **[Formulas using AI](/docs/product/noco-ai/create-formula)** to automate calculations and logic

Let NocoAI make the structure, and focus on your workflow.

### Availability

* NocoAI field suggestions are available on **NocoDB Cloud** (Plus plan and above). On Cloud, they use [credits](/docs/product/workspaces/credits).
* On self-hosted deployments (Business plan and above), you must configure your own AI integration to use AI.
