# The table assistant

> Describe the column you want in plain language, then accept or dismiss what the assistant suggests.

The table assistant reads your table and answers in a side panel, suggesting columns you can accept or dismiss. Describe what you want in plain language, or ask a question about what's already there.

</Frame>

## Open the assistant

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click AI Assistant">
    Click **AI Assistant** in the toolbar to open its panel beside the grid.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe what you want">
    Type into the box, for example "flag invalid emails", or ask a question about the table instead.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Start from a suggestion

A few starters sit above an empty conversation, worded for this table's own columns. One might read **Summarize this table**, or **Coverage of** a column that is often empty. Click one to send it as your first message.

## Accept or dismiss what it suggests

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review the card">
    Each suggestion names its cost in credits per row before you touch it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accept it">
    Click **Add column** to create it empty, or **Add and run 10 rows** to fill in a first batch too.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Or skip it">
    Click **Dismiss suggestion** to drop it without adding anything.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Keep more than one conversation

Click **New conversation** to start fresh without losing the last one. **Previous conversations** lists every conversation on this table by name, so you can pick up any of them again.

## Good to know

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What kinds of columns can it suggest?">
    A plain column, a formula, an enrichment or agent column, an export column, or one reading from a connected tool. It looks at your existing columns for gaps worth filling.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can it suggest a filter instead of a column?">
    Not today. The assistant suggests columns and answers questions about the table. Changing what you see is still done from **Filter**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if it can't help?">
    A failed reply shows what went wrong right in the conversation, and a **Thinking…** indicator shows while it is still working.
  </Accordion>
