App Assistant

The app assistant is an AI chat inside a deployed NocoDB app, for the people who use the app. They ask a question or describe a task, and the assistant answers or runs the app actions for them. The assistant can only do what the person in the chat can already do. You set it up in App Settings → Assistant.
