Creating a list with AI#

You do not have to set up a list by hand — you can ask the AI for it in the AI chat. There is no need to build a bot for that: write what needs to be stored — for example, "create a list of requests: name, phone, preferred time" or "make a list of bouquets with a price and a photo and fill it with examples". In the same way you can ask the AI to fill a list that the project already has with records.

Which bot the list belongs to#

There is nothing to switch on: the AI connects the chatbot building tools by itself — a "Chatbot builder" chip appears above the message field.

A list in a project is always created in some bot, so the AI first chooses the bot the chat works with: one of your bots, or a new one if the project has no bots. The bot's scenario does not change — the list simply appears in its "Lists" section. If you opened the chat with the "AI help" button on the bot's scheme, the list is created in that bot.

Wherever a list is created, it is available to all bots of the project.

If the AI is building a mini app in the chat, the list is created in it — the same way as when it works with a bot.

How the AI creates a list#

The AI first looks at which lists the project already has and takes a suitable one instead of setting up a similar one. If there is no such list, it:

• creates a list — the "Create a list" card with the name and the fields;
• fills it with records — the "Add records to the list" card with the number of records. This is how the AI fills in a catalogue, a price list or a schedule, so that the bot shows people a list that is not empty right away. Data the AI made up itself it calls examples — replace them with your own.

In the "Ask first" mode the list is created and the records are added only when you click "Apply". The modes are covered on the Building a bot in the AI chat page.

What is important to know:

• A list created by the AI is an ordinary project list. It appears in the "Lists" section of the project's menu with a note on where it was created, and it is edited the same way as one created by hand.
• The AI makes fields required unless you asked otherwise. You can hide a field or make it optional later in the field settings. The AI does not create encrypted fields.
• The AI cannot delete fields, records or lists themselves — this is done in your account.
• The AI adds up to 50 records at a time; if even one of them does not match the list's fields, none is added, and the AI fixes them itself. Files and images in records are links, as with import from Excel. For a large catalogue, import is more convenient.
• A team member needs the "Creating lists" and "Creating records" permissions in the bot the chat works with — or the "Editing scenarios" permission.

Building a bot is described on the Building a bot in the AI chat page.
