 Cypress Studio turns test creation into a natural part of exploring your app.  
 Instead of manually typing every `.get()`, `.click()`, or `.type()` command, you can **record interactions in real time**, automatically generate Cypress code, and fine-tune your test inline.
 
+### Powered by AI
+
+With **Cypress Studio AI**, intelligent recommendations appear automatically as you record. The AI analyzes your interactions and suggests the most relevant assertions for each step, helping you build more comprehensive tests with less effort.

 - **Save time**: Skip manually typing `.get().click().type()` sequences
 - **Stay in the flow**: Build and extend tests without leaving the Cypress App
 - **Boost coverage**: Add new checks to existing tests in seconds

+## AI-Powered Recommendations
+
+Cypress Studio AI enhances your test creation workflow by automatically analyzing your interactions and suggesting relevant assertions in real time. As you record actions, the AI appears in the Studio Panel with intelligent recommendations tailored to each step.
+
+### How AI Recommendations Work
+
+1. **Automatic Analysis**: As you interact with elements, the AI analyzes the context and element properties
+2. **Smart Suggestions**: Relevant assertions appear in the Studio Panel based on your actions
+3. **Accept or Reject**: Review each recommendation and choose to accept or reject it
+4. **Seamless Integration**: Accepted recommendations can be saved to your test file
+
+### Types of AI Recommendations
+
+The AI suggests assertions based on the elements you interact with:
+
+- **Visibility checks**: Ensure elements are visible or hidden
+- **Text validation**: Verify text content matches expectations
+- **Form validation**: Check input values, selections, and form states
+- **Element properties**: Validate attributes, classes, and other properties
+- **Navigation confirmation**: Verify page changes and URL updates

-## Coming Soon: AI in Studio
+:::note
 
-Imagine Studio suggesting the most relevant assertions for every step you take. Cypress AI is a feature that's **coming soon** that will recommend relevant assertions in real time based on your interactions.
+**Studio without AI**: Cypress Studio can be used without AI features and does not require a Cloud account. You can still record interactions and manually add assertions by right-clicking elements.
+
+**Studio with AI**: AI-powered recommendations require a Cypress Cloud account and provide intelligent assertion suggestions as you record.
+
+:::
+
+## Authentication & usage
+
+Because Cypress Studio AI uses AI under the hood, it needs to communicate securely with large language models to analyze your interactions and generate relevant assertion recommendations. Cypress Cloud helps manage those requests, apply organization-level controls, and track usage in a way that's non-invasive. We never use your interactions to train AI models, and you can turn AI features off at any time. Cypress Studio AI is currently available on any of our [Cypress Cloud plan types](https://www.cypress.io/pricing).
+
+**To use Cypress Studio AI, you must either:**
+
+- Log into Cypress Cloud
+- Set up your project in Cypress Cloud
+
+**If you don't have a Cloud account, create a free account and gain access to a 2-week trial of all paid features.**

+
+## Disabling AI features
+
+AI capabilities, including Cypress Studio AI, are enabled by default for all users on any Cloud plan. Organization admins and owners can enable and disable the AI capabilities for their entire organization from their organization settings. For more information, see [our FAQ](/cloud/faq#Are-all-Cloud-AI-capabilities-enabled-by-default-How-can-I-turn-them-off).
+
+You can also disable Studio AI locally in the Cypress App by toggling off the AI feature in the Studio panel.
