Building a Backend Using AI

How can I generate a backend using AI?

  • Getting Started Assistant

    • When you create a new workspace in Xano, our Getting Started Assistant will take your idea and generate a database, tables, user authentication, and even basic API endpoints that you can use right away. Get Started Assistant

  • Database Assistant

    • After you've started working in Xano, you can continue the conversation with our Database Assistant, designed to talk through and perform updates to your database and tables. Let it know what changes you want to make, review each suggestion for accuracy, and apply them with one click. AI Database Assistant

  • SQL Assistant

    • Now that your backend is up and running, maybe you'd like to add some additional, more complex database queries to your APIs. Our SQL Assistant can take your idea, generate a query to retrieve exactly the data you're looking for, and even display a list of results to make sure it's exactly what you need. AI SQL Assistant

  • Lambda Assistant

    • Our Lambda Assistant is designed to help you write and iterate on Lambda functions. It can take a prompt and generate code for you, with context of the rest of your function stack, as well as importing any external NPM packages required. This is useful for scenarios where you'd like to add features to your backend that Xano doesn't support natively, such as image manipulation or PDF generation. AI Lambda Assistant


How Xano AI handles your data

Your data stays yours. We process it to generate AI responses but don't store it or use it to train our models. Third parties that help run our AI only collect basic usage data for billing.
