Ninox AI assistant

Learn when to use the Ninox AI assistant and what to include for great results.

The Ninox AI assistant 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 AI assistant in these ways:

• When you open Ninox for the first time, you see the option to build an app with AI on the landing screen.

• You can also start it later from Workspace home by clicking Build app with AI.

• When you are on the app screen, open the main navigation and click Ninox AI chat .

The landing screen with the AI assistant option is only shown the first time you access Ninox. After that, use Workspace home to create a new app with AI, or open Ninox AI chat from the main navigation while working inside an app.

AI assistant on the app screen

On the App screen, the AI assistant opens in a side panel. This lets you make structure changes without leaving the app you are working in.

Below the prompt field, Ninox shows predefined prompts for common tasks:

• Add field creates a new field in the current table.

• Create table adds a new table to the current app.

• Edit field changes an existing field in the current table.

• Rename table changes the name of the current table.

• Delete field removes a field you no longer need.

These prompts give you a fast starting point. You can use them as they are, or refine the request before you send it.

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.
