Main Use Cases

AI fields generate the current field value from other fields in the same row. Use them to turn raw content into summaries, translations, extracted details, categories, scores, dates, or images.

Text

Summarize, translate, extract information, improve writing, or customize the output. Best for turning longer text into usable copy.

Single select

Smart classify or customize the output. Best for matching content to one existing category.

Multiple select

Smart tag or customize the output. Best for matching content to one or more existing tags.

Rating / Number

Rate or customize the output. Best for generating scores or numeric results from source content.

Date

Extract information or customize the output. Best for extracting dates or times from content.

Attachment

Generate images or customize the output. Best for creating images from text or attachments.
If you are not sure which action to use, start here:
  • Summarize: Creates a summary from the source field.
  • Translate: Translates the source field into the target language.
  • Extract Information: Extracts specific information from text. Date fields can also use it to extract dates or times.
  • Improve Writing: Rewrites content based on your additional requirements.
  • Smart Classify: Matches a single select field to an existing option.
  • Smart Tag: Matches a multiple select field to existing options.
  • Rate: Generates a score or numeric value from the source content.
  • Generate Image: Creates images in an attachment field. Some models support using an attachment field as a reference image.
Use a custom prompt when the default actions do not cover your case. Custom prompts can reference fields from the same row.

Workflow

1

Add a field

Create a field, choose the field type, then expand AI Configuration. Each field type shows the AI actions it supports.
2

Choose an action and model

Choose the AI Action Type and AI Model. The action controls the task. The model controls which AI model generates the result.
3

Choose source fields

Choose the field AI should read as input. The AI field generates its value from source fields in the same row.
4

Add generation requirements

Depending on the action, fill in Additional Requirements, Target Language, or a Custom Prompt. For image generation in attachment fields, use Advanced Settings to adjust image size, quality, count, aspect ratio, resolution, or reference images. Available settings depend on the selected model.
Create an AI field When you edit an AI field, you can change the action type, model, source fields, additional requirements, custom prompt, and auto-update setting. After you save, the new configuration applies to future generations. If an existing result is not what you want, regenerate it. Edit an AI field

Auto-update and Batch Generation

When Auto-update is enabled, the AI field updates with the current configuration when source field content or the AI configuration changes. Use it when the result should stay in sync with source content, such as categories, summaries, scores, or tags generated from feedback. After you create a field or change its AI configuration, you can choose whether to process records in the current view right away:

Fill empty cells only

Generate content only for empty cells. Existing values are not overwritten.

Generate entire column

Regenerate results for records in the current view. Existing values are overwritten.

Save configuration only

Save the field configuration without writing values to cells.
AI field save options After you choose a generation option, Teable shows the task status while it processes records. AI field generation status To run generation later, use the field menu instead of saving the configuration again. You can also right-click the field and choose Generate to run batch generation for the current view. Availability depends on the current view and your permissions. AI field generate menu

AI actions depend on the field type. Text fields are suited for summarizing, translating, and extracting information. Single select fields are suited for Smart Classify. Multiple select fields are suited for Smart Tag. Attachment fields are suited for image generation.
The model list comes from models provided by Teable and AI models configured in the current space. To use a third-party model, add a custom AI model in space settings first.
Image size, quality, count, aspect ratio, resolution, and reference image options depend on the selected model.
