## Creating table Using AI

<Callout type="info">
  Creating tables with AI is available on 

  **NocoDB Cloud**

   only (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).
</Callout>

NocoAI can provide a set of suggested tables based on your current schema and context. The tables thus created will include relevant fields and will be linked to existing tables where applicable. This allows you to quickly expand your database structure without manually defining each table and its relationships.
