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?"
  • Propose configuration changes — create entity types, add or change property definitions, including formula properties
  • Propose data changes — create or update data entities

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.

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:

Entu AI flow: a read-only chat turn assembles a proposal, the user reviews it, and only after Apply are the operations validated and saved with the user's rights

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.

Privacy

Conversations are not stored on the server. When you close the chat, the conversation is gone.

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"
