Generate NocoDB tables and their relationships from plain-language prompts with NocoAI.

## Overview

Describe your system in plain language, and NocoAI generates tables with their fields and relationships. Use it to start a new database structure quickly. You can also use it to add new modules to an existing base.

## Steps to Create Tables Using AI

1. In the left sidebar, click **+ Create New**.

2. Select **Table**. The **Create Table** modal opens.

3. In the dialog, click **✨ Use NocoAI**. The AI-assisted process starts.

4. Select a suggestion mode:

   | Mode               | What it does                                                              |
   | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | **Auto Suggested** | NocoAI suggests a set of tables based on your current schema and context. |
   | **Use Prompt**     | *(Coming Soon)* Describe the tables that you want in your own words.      |

5. In the list, select the tables that you want.

## Tips for Better AI Suggestions

* **Use meaningful table names in your base**\
  The AI uses the existing names and structures to recommend relevant tables.

* **Think in entities**\
  Think about the business objects that you want to manage and how they connect. For example: Candidates, Applications, Feedback, Agencies.

* **Preview and refine**\
  If the suggestions are not accurate, click **Suggest More** to get new suggestions.

* **Add new modules incrementally**\
  Use NocoAI for different parts of your app, for example one time for recruiting and one time for feedback. This builds your schema step by step.

## What's Next

After you create your tables:

* Use **[NocoAI View Suggestions](/docs/product/noco-ai/create-view)** to generate meaningful views
* Create **[Fields using AI](/docs/product/noco-ai/create-field)** to automatically generate relevant fields for each table

NocoAI gives you a fast start. You can then customize everything to meet your needs.

## Availability

* AI table creation is available on **NocoDB Cloud** (Plus plan and above). On Cloud, it uses [credits](/docs/product/workspaces/credits).
* On self-hosted deployments (Business plan and above), you must configure your own AI integration to use AI.
