Automatically generate field options for select fields using NocoAI.

## Overview

When working with **Single Select** or **Multi Select** fields, you can now let **NocoAI** suggest relevant options based on your field name and table context. This helps reduce manual work and ensures meaningful, consistent values.

## Steps to Create Options Using AI

1. Add a **Single Select** or **Multi Select** Field

   Click the + icon in the top-right corner of the field header in your table, then select either 'Single Select' or 'Multi Select'. Provide a clear and descriptive field name that reflects the type of options required.

2. Click **Auto Suggest**

   Inside the field configuration modal, click the **✨ Auto Suggest** button to fetch option suggestions.

3. **Review** Suggested options

   NocoAI will analyze your field name and table context to generate a list of relevant options. You can add, remove, or edit the suggested values before saving.

4. Click **Save Field**

   Finalize your configuration to add the field and its options to your table.

## Tips for Better AI Suggestions

* **Use a descriptive field name**
  Example: Instead of "Type", use "Application Status" or "Task Priority".

* **Set table context**
  The more specific your table name and existing fields are, the better the suggestions.
  *Example*: In a table named “Tasks”, a field called “Priority” will likely suggest: `Low`, `Medium`, `High`.

* **Apply business terms**
  Use industry-appropriate terminology in your field name to guide the AI.
  *Example*: For a field called “Candidate Stage”, suggestions might include: `Applied`, `Screened`, `Interviewed`, `Hired`.

## Example Use Cases

| Table        | Field Name         | Suggested Options                                  |
| ------------ | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `Tasks`      | Priority           | Low, Medium, High, Critical                        |
| `Candidates` | Application Status | Applied, Shortlisted, Interviewed, Hired, Rejected |
| `Projects`   | Phase              | Initiation, Planning, Execution, Closure           |
| `Feedback`   | Sentiment          | Positive, Neutral, Negative                        |

## What’s Next

Now that your select fields are powered with meaningful options, you can:

* Create **[Views using AI](/docs/product/noco-ai/create-view)** to visualize data based on these options
* Use **[Formulas using AI](/docs/product/noco-ai/create-formula)** to derive insights based on selected values

Let NocoAI handle the heavy lifting while you focus on building smarter workflows.

## Availability

* AI features are available on **NocoDB Cloud** (Plus plan and above), where usage is metered by [credits](/docs/product/workspaces/credits). On self-hosted deployments, AI requires configuring your own AI integration (Business plan and above).
