Entu AI

Entu AI is a chat assistant built into the Entu app. Open it with the sparkles button in the toolbar — it is available to signed-in users. The assistant knows your account's current configuration — entity types and their property definitions — so you can ask questions about it and describe changes in plain language instead of clicking through configuration screens.

What It Can Do

• Answer configuration questions — "Which properties does person have?", "Which entity types reference project?"
• Answer data questions — search entities, read their values and change history, and fetch file download links, all within your rights
• Propose configuration changes — create entity types, add or change property definitions, including formula properties
• Propose data changes — create or update data entities, or delete individual property values

Reviewing and Applying Changes

The assistant never applies changes on its own. When it suggests changes, it shows a Proposed changes list where each operation is described in plain language. Review the list, then click Apply changes to execute the operations — or Cancel to discard them. Nothing happens in your database until you click Apply. Sending a new message while changes are waiting declines them.

Operations are executed in order, and each one gets a status: applied, failed, or skipped. If an operation fails (for example due to insufficient rights), execution stops — operations before it are already applied, and the remaining ones are skipped.

WARNING

Applying is not all-or-nothing. If an operation in the middle of the list fails, the operations before it have already been applied and are not rolled back. Check the per-operation status to see what went through.

The full flow — using "create an entity type for books" as an example:

Permissions

Entu AI runs entirely with your own rights. It can only see what you can see and change what you could change manually — it does not grant any extra access. If you lack rights for a proposed operation, that operation fails on apply.

Limits

• Each database has a monthly AI token allowance — 100,000 tokens unless a different limit is set for the database. When it is used up, Entu AI answers with Tokens limit reached until the next month.
• One message can be up to 8,000 characters, and only the latest 40 messages of the conversation are sent to the assistant.
• One proposal can hold up to 25 operations.
• System entity type definitions can't be changed through Entu AI.

Privacy

Conversations are not stored on the server — they live only in your open browser tab. Closing the chat panel keeps the conversation; it is cleared when you click New chat, switch to another database, or reload the page.

Example Prompts

• "I need to store library info — books and lendings. Set up the needed entities."
• "Add birthyear property to person"
• "Add invoice total field calculated from invoice rows"
