✨ Introducing Xano AI Assistants
Last release, we brought you our Get Started Assistant -- with just a prompt, you can transform from a blank slate into a structured database with ready-made API endpoints.
Starting today, you have two new AI assistants to help you get more done in Xano.
📄 Documentation
Database Assistant
Use Xano's AI Database Assistant to add, iterate, and provide recommendations for database adjustments such as adding new tables or updating existing ones to support new functionality. You can also ask the assistant to critique your database design and provide recommendations to ensure best practices are followed.
Note: To ensure the safety of your data, the Database Assistant can not perform any deletes or removals at this time.
SQL Assistant
With our SQL Assistant, you can quickly build complex database queries using SQL, test to verify they work as expected, and implement them in just a couple of clicks.
Want to hear about what's next? Join us for an AMA with Xano CEO Prakash Chandran and hear more about The Future of AI and Visual Development on Thursday, April 3 at 1:30 PST!
🧑🤝🧑 Agency as an Add-on
Big news -- our Agency plans are gone! 🤯
Now, agency features are a free Add-on to any paid Xano plan, giving you the flexibility to choose exactly what fits your needs while making Xano more affordable for agencies.
We’ve also improved the client invite process, making it easier than ever to connect with new or existing clients—streamlining collaboration and workflow.
Plus, our revamped Partner Program offers even more support to help agencies grow.
If you're an existing Agency Lite or Pro user, our team will be reaching out with details on how to migrate.
Switch Case & Else If
🛣️ Switch Case
Stop nesting conditionals and clean up your function stacks when comparing a single value against multiple options!
Switch Case provides a clear, organized way to handle multiple discrete cases, making your function stacks more readable and maintainable. Perfect for dealing with many equality-based comparisons against a single value.
📄 Documentation
🚦 Else If
Build flexible conditional logic with Else If! While Switch Case excels at single-value comparisons, Else If shines when you need complex conditions involving more complex business logic. Use it to create sophisticated decision trees that can handle any combination of conditions.

💾 Auto-Save
Tired of clicking the Save button? So are we, so we're introducing Auto-Save, saving you time and effort and enabling even faster building in Xano.
Don't worry -- if you prefer to keep the classic behavior, you can turn off auto-save at any time. Auto-save is not enabled by default for existing users.
🔮 Function Prediction
For certain functions, Xano will now auto-suggest the next function to add based on the typical use case. You can choose to add the suggestion, click Ignore to remove it, or simply continuing to work inside of the visual builder will dismiss the suggestion if you don't interact with it.
For example, adding a Query All Records function will suggest a For Each loop immediately under.
🤩 Other Improvements & Fixes
Drag and drop comes to your inputs and response items! Reorder them as you see fit.
Packages have arrived for Xano Actions! Bundle multiple Actions together and import them all at once.
A new Billing experience for more clarity around plan information and changes
Database column reordering is a little different -- now, when you right-click on a column name and choose Reorder Columns, you'll be able to adjust the order of all fields at once.
