Quickly generate a fully-structured base using natural language prompts with NocoAI

## Overview

NocoAI lets you instantly generate a complete base — including tables, views, fields, and relationships — just by describing your needs in natural language. Perfect for non-technical users, fast prototyping, and workflow automation.

## Steps to Create a Base Using AI

1. Click **Create Base**

From the left sidebar, click **+ Create Base**.

2. Choose **Build Base with AI**

In the dialog, select **✨ Build Base with AI** to use AI-powered base generation.

3. Select a **Use Case** *(Optional)*

Choose a predefined use case to auto-fill a sample prompt.

4. OR **Write Your Own Prompt**

You can edit the suggested prompt or enter your own.
For example:

> Streamline the hiring process by managing candidate applications, scheduling interviews, and tracking hiring outcomes.

5. Add **Additional Context** *(Optional)*

Provide more details like organization name, industry, and audience to help tailor AI results.

6. Click **Suggest Tables & Views**

NocoAI will analyze your prompt and generate the recommended schema.

7. **Review** Tables and Views

You’ll see all suggested tables and their associated views.

8. **Review Relationships** using ERD

Switch to the **Relationship Diagram** tab to view an auto-generated ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram).

9. Click **Create Base**

Once you’re happy with the structure, click **Create Base** to finalize and start using it.

## Tips for Better AI Suggestions

* **Be clear and specific**\
  Avoid vague descriptions like “make a project tracker.” Instead, try:
  > Track multiple projects with assigned team members, tasks, deadlines, and project status updates.

* **Mention key entities and relationships**\
  Include what you want to manage and how they relate.
  > Each candidate can apply to multiple job openings and be scheduled for multiple interviews.

* **Add extra context**\
  Use fields like **Industry** or **Audience** to help guide the AI.

* **Start simple, refine later**\
  You can edit the prompt and regenerate suggestions if needed.

## Next Steps

Now that your base is created, explore additional NocoAI capabilities:

* AI-assisted **[View Suggestions](/docs/product/noco-ai/create-view)**
* AI-assisted **Field Suggestions**
* Prompt-based **Formula Generation**
