## AI Agent Supabase Prompt Library

Below are possible prompts or use cases you can try after integrating Supabase into your xpander AI agent:

```
Could you create a new branch called {branch_name} for my {project_name} project?
```

```
How do I delete the API key with ID {api_key_id} from my {project_name} project?
```

```
How can I update the PostgreSQL configuration for my {project_name} to increase the maximum connections?
```

```
Could you disable the read-only mode for my {project_name} project?
```
