Create Tables Using AI
Overview
Describe your system in plain language, and NocoAI generates tables with their fields and relationships. Use it to start a new database structure quickly. You can also use it to add new modules to an existing project.
Steps to Create Tables Using AI
- In the left sidebar, click + Create New.
- Select Table. The Create Table modal opens.
- In the dialog, click ✨ Use NocoAI. The AI-assisted process starts.
- In the Auto Suggested list, select the tables that you want. NocoAI builds this list from your current schema and context.
- Click Create [X] Tables. NocoAI creates the tables.
Tips for Better AI Suggestions
-
Use meaningful table names in your project
The AI uses the existing names and structures to recommend relevant tables. -
Think in entities
Think about the business objects that you want to manage and how they connect. For example: Candidates, Applications, Feedback, Agencies. -
Preview and refine
If the suggestions are not accurate, click Suggest More to get new suggestions. -
Add new modules incrementally
Use NocoAI for different parts of your app, for example one time for recruiting and one time for feedback. This builds your schema step by step.
What's Next
After you create your tables:
- Use NocoAI View Suggestions to generate meaningful views
- Create Fields using AI to automatically generate relevant fields for each table
NocoAI gives you a fast start. You can then customize everything to meet your needs.
