Ninox AI
Learn when to use Ninox AI and what to include for great results.
Ninox AI helps you turn an idea into a usable app in minutes. From a short description, it creates a strong first version with suggested tables, fields, relationships, and an initial app setup. On the app screen, it also helps you update the current app with common structure changes. Ninox also supports AI suggestions during table creation, so you can get helpful field proposals even when you build step by step.
That means less time spent modeling from scratch and faster progress from day one. You get something concrete to review, test, and improve right away, so you can shape the app around your process and show early results faster.
It works especially well when you already know your use case and want to move quickly. If you know what you need to track, but do not want to build every table and field manually, the AI assistant helps you save time, reduce setup effort, and start with confidence.
You can access the Ninox AI in these ways:
When you open Ninox for the first time, you see Let's create your app on the landing screen.
You can also start it later from workspace Home by clicking Create app with Ninox AI.
When you are on the app screen, go the right bottom of the app screen and click the magic-wand icon Open chat
The landing screen opens only the first time you access Ninox. After that, use workspace Home to create a new app with AI, or the magic-wand icon Open chat in the right bottom of the app screen.
To see the complete flow of using the Ninox AI assistant to create an app, including each step in the interface, check Quickstart - create your first app.
AI assistant on the app screen
On the app screen, the AI assistant opens in the left panel or as a floating panel on the right. Ninox remembers the position you used last.
Use the icons at the top to control the chat and editing context:
View chat history displays the name of the current chat. Click it to Search chats in this app or choose one from the list.
Add chat starts a new chat. Use it when you want to work on a new topic separately from the current conversation.
Display options lets you place the assistant in the left panel, float it on the right, or open it in full-screen mode.
Close Ninox AI hides the Ninox AI chat.
At the bottom of the prompt field, Ninox AI provides these options:
The app list lets you choose which app the prompt refers to. Pick one app or choose all. If you start the Ninox AI while an app is open, Ninox will automatically choose that app.
Choose Auto to approve requests automatically. Choose Manual to review each suggestion, approve or reject it, or make your own suggestion. See an example recording here.
The Ninox AI model choice lets you select the best model for your task. Choose a model that balances task complexity and speed. For example:
Haiku 4.5: best for quick questions and small edits - fastest
Sonnet 5.5: best for everyday work - fast
Opus 5.5: best for complex tasks and app building - slower
Below the prompt field, Ninox shows predefined prompts for common tasks. They give you a fast starting point, or overviews and analyzes of your data and data structure. You can use them as they are, or describe the change you want in your own words before you send it.
AI help in the logic editor
You can also use Ninox AI anywhere you write scripts. Open the logic editor, describe what you want to build, and let AI help you create or refine the script.
In the logic editor, Ninox opens an AI panel next to the code area. This lets you work with AI directly while you write and refine your script.
If you are not sure how to start, click Suggest ideas. Ninox then shows example prompts based on the context of the current table and, for example, the logic field you are editing. You can select one of these suggestions or enter your own request in Ask about Ninox script. For the best result, mention the table, the fields, and the expected outcome. The more specific your prompt is, the closer the generated script will match your use case. Ninox AI then generates a script draft directly in the editor and shows a matching explanation in the AI panel.
Review the suggested script before you keep it. You can Accept it, Reject it, or refine it by continuing the chat with Ninox AI. When you are ready to keep the current script in the logic editor, click Apply.
Good habits when working with the AI assistant
Start with a description that gives the AI something solid to work with. Name the main things you need to track, add the most important fields, and explain how those records connect. For example, if you are planning a project app, say that each project can have many tasks and belongs to one customer.
This gives you a stronger first result, but it is still only a starting point. Review the generated tables and fields, then adjust them to match your process. Before you begin, also decide which workspace the new app should belong to, so the structure fits your setup from the start.
AI suggestions for table creation
In addition to the AI assistant, Ninox also offers AI suggestions when you create new tables. When you enter a descriptive table name and keep AI suggestions enabled, Ninox proposes relevant fields for your table.
You can accept the suggested fields or turn off AI suggestions if you prefer to define all fields yourself.
Query data with Ninox AI
Use natural language to find and filter records in your workspace. The Ninox AI lets you access your data without manually building queries. It understands your database structure, including tables, fields, relationships, and available choice options.
It does not read or analyze all records in advance. The Ninox AI uses the database schema to find the requested information.
For example, ask: “Show me all open orders.” The Ninox AI identifies the relevant table and status field. It then retrieves records where the status is "Open".
Ninox AI uses the same filtering and search capabilities as the Ninox user interface. It interprets requests written in natural language, but cannot apply filter conditions that Ninox does not support.
