AI Chat

The AI assistant built into Norbix Cloud — chat with your backend.

AI Chat is the assistant built into Norbix Cloud. Open it from any screen (as a side drawer or full screen) and work with your project by talking to it: inspect schemas, find records, configure modules, or ask "what changed?" — the assistant uses the same modules and respects the same permissions as you do.

What you need

AI Chat needs a language model to run on. Two options:

  • System models — models offered by the platform, ready to use.

  • Project models — your own LLM provider connected as a project integration (for example your Anthropic or OpenAI account). Add one under your project's Integrations.

If no model is available, the chat launcher explains why (for example, no LLM is configured). Use the model picker to choose a model, or leave it on Auto and let Norbix pick the default.

Scoped to your project and environment

The chat always works in the context of your currently selected project and environment (for example DEV or PROD). Switch the project — the assistant switches with you.

Plans and approvals

For anything bigger than a question, the assistant first shows a plan: a numbered list of steps, each mapped to a concrete tool it wants to use. Nothing runs until you approve the plan. As it works, each step shows its status (pending, done, failed) and a short result summary. Actions that change data show a pending-action card asking for your confirmation.

Two chats, one identity rule

Norbix has two chat surfaces, and they follow a strict identity boundary:

  • Hub chat — what you use in Norbix Cloud. For admins and team members: structural work like schemas, integrations, users, and configuration.

  • API chat — a chat your shipped app can offer its end users. End users can only work with their own data (own profile, own records) — never anything structural, never another user's data.

The same rule as everywhere in Norbix: the chat can do exactly what the signed-in identity is allowed to do, and every action is visible in Logs & Monitoring.
