# AI Suggestions

> AI-generated recommendations that help you build schemas faster.

When you create a workflow, you describe what you want and (optionally) upload a sample document. **AI suggestions** are anyformat's first draft based on that — a starting set of fields it thinks you'll want, so you don't have to add them all from scratch.

For example, upload a resume and ask for "candidate contact info", and anyformat might suggest these fields:

* **Full name** (text)
* **Email** (text)
* **Phone** (text)

A suggestion can include the field name, its type, and a draft instruction. You then keep, edit, or delete each one.

## How to use them effectively

Think of AI suggestions as:

> A helpful starting point, not a final answer

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Use them when" icon="lightbulb">
    * Exploring a new document type
    * Creating a schema quickly
    * You're not sure what fields you need yet
  </Card>

  <Card title="Review them when" icon="magnifying-glass">
    * Accuracy matters
    * Data is business-critical
    * You're scaling usage
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

You are always in control — suggestions are editable and optional.

**When reviewing a suggestion, check:**

* **Does the field name match what you actually want?** Rename anything that's vague or off.
* **Is the type right?** A total should be a Decimal number, not Text — see [Field types](/concepts/field-types).
* **Is anything missing?** Add fields the AI didn't think of.
* **Is anything extra?** Delete fields you don't need.
