# About AI and dbt

Analytics engineering requires more than code generation — it requires understanding your data, how it connects, and what breaks when something changes. dbt brings purpose-built AI to that workflow, grounded in your project's lineage, tests, contracts, and metric definitions.

info

dbt Wizard is the new and recommended AI agent for governed data development in dbt. It handles the full development lifecycle — investigation, building, validation, and shipping — grounded in your dbt project's lineage, tests, contracts, and metric definitions.

dbt Copilot is separate from dbt Wizard and is dbt's inline AI assistance experience, providing single-click generation of SQL, documentation, tests, and semantic models in Studio IDE, Canvas, and Insights.

Refer to [dbt AI FAQs](./dbt-ai-faqs.md#is-dbt-wizard-the-same-as-dbt-copilot), [Billing](../platform/billing.md), and [dbt's Terms of Use](https://www.getdbt.com/terms-of-use) for more information.
