Quick Start

Get your first data model in under 2 minutes — no sign-up required.

Step 1: Open the app​

Go to talkingschema.ai. You'll land on a new, empty session — no login required.

Step 2: Describe your data model​

Type your requirements in the chat input at the bottom. Be as specific or as vague as you like — the AI handles the rest.

Example prompts to try:

  • "I need a schema for a global supply chain system with suppliers, products, warehouses, and purchase orders"
  • "Build me a sustainable supply chain schema with carbon tier ratings for suppliers and emissions tracking on shipments"
  • "Create a supply chain database with purchase orders, sales orders, inventory, and carbon offset credits"

Press Enter or click the send button.

Step 3: Review the ERD​

TalkingSchema generates an entity-relationship diagram in the right panel. You can:

  • Pan — click and drag the canvas
  • Zoom — scroll or pinch
  • Inspect — click any table node to see its fields
  • Auto-layout — the ELK engine arranges nodes automatically

Step 4: Refine your schema​

Continue chatting to iterate:

  • "Add a carbon_intensity_score field to the products table as DECIMAL(5,2)"
  • "Make sku unique on the products table"
  • "Add a carbon_offset_credits table linked to suppliers with tonnes_co2 and vintage_year fields"

Step 5: Export​

Click the Export button (top-right of the ERD panel) to download:

  • SQL — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, or MSSQL
  • DBML — database markup language
  • JSON — structured schema definition
  • Image — PNG, SVG, or PDF of your ERD
