# AI-Generated Smart Columns

> Create, adapt, and refine Smart Columns in seconds, without writing complex formulas.

AI-generated Smart Columns help you transform your data using simple, natural-language instructions. Whether you’re building something new or fine-tuning existing logic, AI makes it faster and easier to get the results you want.

### What can GenAI do for Smart Columns?

With AI, you can:

* Generate new formulas and mappings from scratch
* Turn an idea into a working Smart Column using plain language
* Adapt or extend existing formulas as your analysis evolves
* Iterate quickly without rebuilding everything manually

Instead of worrying about syntax, you focus on *what* you want to achieve, AI takes care of the *how*.

### How GenAI understands your data

The generator works with context from your project:

* It knows which columns exist
* It understands whether columns contain text or numeric values
* It looks at up to 100 example values per relevant column

This helps GenAI create logic that fits your **actual data**, not generic assumptions

### Best practices for great results

* Reference existing column names
* Start with a simple instruction, then refine
* Use follow-up prompts to adjust edge cases

GenAI works best as an interactive partner, you can iterate until the Smart Column does exactly what you need.
