Summary

Question

Hey guys,
I just installed Airbyte1.0 on my local machine, any idea why the “AI-Button” is not there?

Not to be found where it is shown in the tutorial…

There should be no problem as far as I can tell:

> AI Assist (built in collaboration with <https://www.fractional.ai/|Fractional AI>) is available in open beta, only on Airbyte Cloud for now, as it relies on our own resources. It will soon become available in self-hosted Airbyte Open Source and Airbyte Enterprise.

Oh wow,
thanks for showing me the specific line!

I only went through
https://airbyte.com/blog/hands-on-with-the-new-ai-assistant
and
https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/ai-assist#key-features.
No mention of it being only Cloud for now in there.

It’s worth noting (as mentioned in the other thread too), that you can set up a trial account for Cloud and it doesn’t start counting until you run a sync—so you can use it indefinitely just for AI Assist, then just export the YAML and load it in your local

I have an account that I literally only use to help people on here who are on Cloud (or to get screenshots that aren’t from our instance). Even Jean (co-founder) mentioned this to folks asking about AI Assist, so sounds like approved behavior :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s great to know - then I should create one for myself as well!
