The big idea
Prisma is an ORM that gives you type-safe queries from a single schema file. AI helps you design tables, set up relations, and write safe migrations that don't drop columns by accident.
Some examples
- Ask AI: 'Add a many-to-many relation between User and Tag in this schema.'
- AI explains the diff between `migrate dev` and `migrate deploy`.
- AI generates seed scripts for local testing.
- AI warns you when a migration will lose data.
Try it!
Sketch a schema for a tiny journal app (User, Entry, Tag). Have AI generate the Prisma file.
