+To set up or use AI assistant, you need the following:
 
-- An **Elastic deployment**:
+* An appropriate [Elastic subscription](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions)
 
-  - For **{{observability}}**: {{stack}} version **8.9** or later, or an **{{observability}} serverless project**.

+* An [LLM connector](/solutions/security/ai/set-up-connectors-for-large-language-models-llm.md)
 
-    - To run {{obs-ai-assistant}} on a self-hosted Elastic stack, you need an [appropriate license](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions).

-- An account with a third-party generative AI provider that preferably supports function calling. If your AI provider does not support function calling, you can configure [AI Assistant settings](../../solutions/observability/observability-ai-assistant.md#obs-ai-settings) to simulate function calling, but this might affect performance.
-
-  - The free tier offered by third-party generative AI provider may not be sufficient for the proper functioning of the AI assistant. In most cases, a paid subscription to one of the supported providers is required.

-    Refer to the [documentation](kibana://reference/connectors-kibana/gen-ai-connectors.md) for your provider to learn about supported and default models.
