AI Copilot — Understand, Analyze & Document JSON with AI
February 2026
JSON Copilot's AI Copilot offers a suite of AI-powered actions to help you understand, analyze, and document your JSON — directly from the editor. Use credits to run actions, close the panel while they process, and find results in your history.
Available AI Actions
Open the AI Copilot panel from the left sidebar to access these actions:
- Explain JSON: Get a detailed, human-readable explanation of every field — its purpose, type, and relationships
- Flatten JSON: Convert nested JSON into flat dot-notation key-value pairs — see the full article
- JSON Schema: Generate a JSON Schema from your data with inferred types, required fields, and constraints
- Schema + Describe: Generate a JSON Schema enriched with AI-written descriptions for every property
Coming soon: Explain Structure (concise type and nesting overview), Fix & Validate (automatically repair broken JSON), Test Data Generation (create realistic variations for testing), and more.
Mind Map Sync
Several actions — Explain JSON, Flatten, JSON Schema, and Schema + Describe — feature bidirectional sync with the mind map and editors:
- Click a property in the AI result to focus the matching node on the mind map and highlight the JSON in the Output tab
- Click a node on the mind map to highlight the matching property in the AI result panel and scroll to it
- Place your cursor in the editor to see the corresponding property highlighted in the AI result
How Credits Work
Each AI action consumes credits based on the size of your input. Before running an action you'll see an estimated credit cost. If the actual usage turns out to be significantly lower than the estimate, the difference is automatically refunded to your balance.
- New accounts receive free signup credits to try AI features
- Credits can be replenished via subscription plans or one-time credit packs
- Your current balance is always visible in the sidebar

Good to Know
- Privacy: Your JSON is sent to our servers only when you explicitly run an AI action. Core features (formatting, validation, minification) always run locally in your browser.
- History: Every AI request is saved in your Copilot history, so you can revisit past results without spending additional credits. You can close the panel while an action is processing — the result will appear in history when it finishes.
- Mind Map Sync: Click a property in the result to focus the matching node on the mind map and highlight it in the Output tab — and vice versa.
Client-Side First: JSON Copilot's philosophy remains the same — core operations run in your browser. AI features are an optional layer for users who want deeper insights and productivity boosts.
