NocoDB is a no-code AI agent builder for business. Its AI agents work on the data of a project. An AI agent reads and changes your tables, records and documents, and it can search the web. People chat with it in NocoDB or on Telegram. It also runs on its own: on a schedule, when records change, or when another system calls its webhook.

You build an AI agent without code. Describe the job in a chat, start from a template, or fill in the settings yourself. NocoDB calls this kind of agent a General agent. For an agent that works on code, see Coding Agent.

What an AI agent does

A NocoDB AI agent does jobs that need judgment, on the data that your team already keeps in NocoDB:

Answer questions about your tables and documents, in chat or on Telegram.
Write reports and briefs, for example a weekly digest or a morning plan, and send them to the chat, an email or Slack.
Watch and alert, for example on deals that stall or stock that runs low.
Triage and route new requests: set tags and priority, and assign an owner.
Keep data clean: fill in missing details and fix duplicates.
Draft messages for follow-ups and check-ins, ready for review.

Each of these jobs has a template. See Use cases and templates.

How do AI agents work?

A NocoDB AI agent works from its settings. You set them once, and the agent applies them on every chat and every run. Each setting has its own page.

Setting	What it decides
Instructions and files	The job, written as you would brief a teammate, and reference files that the agent reads on every run.
Tools and access	What the agent can read and change: tables and records, documents and the web.
Skills	Reusable sets of instructions that the agent loads when they are relevant.
Triggers and results	What starts the agent without a chat, and where it sends its results.
Channels	Where people can message the agent outside NocoDB, for example Telegram.
Roles and permissions	The project role of the agent, so table permissions and record-level security apply to it.

AI agent or AI assistant?

NocoDB has both. NocoAI is the AI assistant that you chat with in NocoDB, and it works when you ask it. An AI agent has a standing job: its own instructions, access and project role. People chat with an AI agent too, and it also runs on its own from triggers.

Agentic workflows with triggers

An agentic workflow is a job that an AI agent runs on its own, with judgment at each step. In NocoDB, a trigger starts the agent: a schedule, a new or changed record, a comment, a form submission, or a webhook call. The agent then reads the data, decides what to do, and sends its result to the chat, an email or a Slack channel. See Triggers and results.

AI agents for data analysis on your tables

A NocoDB AI agent works on your tables directly, so it can analyze the data that your team keeps in NocoDB. Ask it about open deals, stock levels or support load, and it reads the records to answer. Table permissions and record-level security apply to the agent, so it sees only the data that its role allows. See Tools and access.

AI agent or workflow?

A NocoDB AI agent and a workflow can both start on a schedule or when a record changes. A workflow suits a fixed sequence of steps that every run repeats. An AI agent suits a job that needs judgment: to read records, decide what matters, and answer, summarize, triage or draft. See Agent or workflow?.
