Generate options for NocoDB Single Select and Multi Select fields with NocoAI.

## Overview

For **Single Select** and **Multi Select** fields, **NocoAI** can suggest relevant options. It uses your field name and table context. This reduces manual work and gives meaningful, consistent values.

## Steps to Create Options Using AI

1. In your table, click the + icon in the top-right corner of the field header.
2. Select 'Single Select' or 'Multi Select'.
3. Type a clear field name that tells the type of options that you need.
4. In the field configuration modal, click **✨ Auto Suggest**. NocoAI analyzes your field name and table context, and generates a list of relevant options.
5. Review the suggested options. Add, remove or edit the values as necessary.
6. Click **Save Field**. NocoDB adds the field and its options to your table.

## Tips for Better AI Suggestions

* **Use a descriptive field name**
  Example: Use "Application Status" or "Task Priority", not "Type".

* **Set table context**
  When your table name and existing fields are more specific, the suggestions are better.
  *Example*: In a table with the name “Tasks”, a field with the name “Priority” will probably get these suggestions: `Low`, `Medium`, `High`.

* **Apply business terms**
  Use the terms of your industry in your field name. They guide the AI.
  *Example*: For a field with the name “Candidate Stage”, suggestions can include: `Applied`, `Screened`, `Interviewed`, `Hired`.

## Example Use Cases

| Table        | Field Name         | Suggested Options                                  |
| ------------ | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `Tasks`      | Priority           | Low, Medium, High, Critical                        |
| `Candidates` | Application Status | Applied, Shortlisted, Interviewed, Hired, Rejected |
| `Projects`   | Phase              | Initiation, Planning, Execution, Closure           |
| `Feedback`   | Sentiment          | Positive, Neutral, Negative                        |

## What’s Next

After your select fields have meaningful options, you can:

* Create **[Views using AI](/docs/product/noco-ai/create-view)** to show data based on these options
* Use **[Formulas using AI](/docs/product/noco-ai/create-formula)** to get insights from the selected values

Let NocoAI do the work, and focus on smarter workflows.

## Availability

* AI features 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.
