# 13. Templates

The AI2SQL Templates feature offers a suite of pre-defined SQL query structures that assist users in quickly generating complex queries. By merely filling in specific placeholders within these templates, users can generate a wide variety of SQL queries without needing an intricate understanding of SQL syntax.\
