Using V in Five

V is an AI assistant built in Five that enables you to create an application from a single prompt. Instead of manually defining your database and interface, you describe the application you want, and V generates the application schema for you.

This includes key components such as:

• Tables (data structure)
• Forms (data entry and editing)
• Menus (navigation)
• Relationships between data
• Data views, reports, dashboards, charts, etc (viewing data)
• User management
