Create Tables using AI

Use NocoAI to auto-generate tables and relationships based on natural language prompts.

This feature is available only on NocoDB Cloud. It is not supported in self-hosted or on-premise deployments.

Overview

With NocoAI, you can automatically generate tables — including their fields and relationships — just by describing your system in plain language. Ideal for getting started quickly with a new database structure or adding new modules to an existing base.


Steps to Create Tables Using AI

  1. Open ** Create Table** modal From the left sidebar, Click + Create New, select Table

  2. Select Use NocoAI
    In the dialog, click on ✨ Use NocoAI to begin the AI-assisted process.

  3. Choose a Suggestion Mode

    • Auto Suggested: NocoAI provides a set of suggested tables based on your current schema and context.

Tips for Better AI Suggestions

  • Use meaningful table names in your base
    The AI looks at existing names and structures to recommend relevant tables.

  • Think in entities
    Imagine the business objects you want to manage (e.g., Candidates, Applications, Feedback, Agencies) and how they connect.

  • Preview and refine
    If the suggestions aren't accurate, use the Suggest More button to regenerate.

  • Add new modules incrementally
    You can trigger NocoAI for different parts of your app — e.g., one time for recruiting, another for feedback — to build your schema progressively.
