# Create a content type using AI

You can quickly create a content type that models the structure of your data using AI. This makes it easy to design and build content models. You start with a prompt that describes the structure and purpose of the content type. For example, *Generate a content type for bed and breakfast establishments, including the name, a short description, a selection list of available amenities, and related day trips*. This creates the following content type.

If the content type isn't quite what you want, you can add more details to the prompt and generate a new content type or modify the content type by [adding, removing, or moving fields](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch-one/en/users/content-hub-one/ai-in-content-hub-one/manage-content-type-fields.md "Manage content type fields"). For example, with a more detailed prompt, such as *Generate a content type for bed and breakfast establishments, including the name, a short description, a selection list of available amenities, related day trips, and a description of the theme nights, including specialty gourmet meals*, the content type is updated with new fields.

When you have the content type you want, you can use it to create content items. You can add draft text to the content items using the [AI content generator](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch-one/en/users/content-hub-one/ai-in-content-hub-one/generate-content-using-ai.html "Generate content using AI") and refine it using the [AI writer](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch-one/en/users/content-hub-one/ai-in-content-hub-one/refine,-improve,-or-translate-text-using-ai.md "Refine, improve, or translate text using AI").

To create a content type with AI:

1. On the menu bar, click **Content model** > **Content types**.
2. On the **Content types** page, click ![plus-chone.png](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/ch-one/en/users/content-hub-one/images/plus-chone.png) **Create content type**.
3. In the **Create content type** dialog, in the **Name** field, enter a name for the content type. By default, the **ID** is created using the name. Optionally, enter a different ID if required.
4. In the **Description** field, enter a description of the purpose and use of the content type, and then click **Continue**.
5. In the upper-right corner of the content type details page, click ![generate-with-ai-chone.png](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/ch-one/en/users/content-hub-one/images/generate-with-ai-chone.png) **Start with AI**.
6. In the **Start with AI** input field, enter a prompt that describes the content type and structure that you want to model, and click **Generate**. To help get you started with your prompt, you can click one of the suggested prompts and then modify it as required.
7. If the content type isn't quite what you want, refine your prompt, and click **Generate**. Alternatively, to use the same prompt to generate a different output, click ![autorenew.png](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/ch-one/en/users/content-hub-one/images/autorenew.png) **Regenerate**.
8. To [add new fields](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch-one/en/users/content-hub-one/ai-in-content-hub-one/manage-content-type-fields.md "Manage content type fields") to the content type, click ![plus-chone.png](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/ch-one/en/users/content-hub-one/images/plus-chone.png) **Add field**.
9. [Modify the content type](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch-one/en/users/content-hub-one/ai-in-content-hub-one/edit-a-content-type.md "Edit a content type") as needed.
10. When you are happy with the content type, click **Save**.
