<Note>
AI features are part of the [Enterprise Edition](/self-hosting/advanced/license).
</Note>
Formbricks ships a single organization-wide toggle that turns on AI-powered helpers across the app:
**Settings → Organization → General → Smart functionality (AI)**.
## AI Principles
1. **Always optional**: AI is disabled until your organization enables. You can run
Formbricks fully without AI.
2. **We separate AI**: We distinguish between:
- **Smart Functionality**: helps teams build and operate faster (for example
[AI Survey Translation](/surveys/general-features/multi-language-surveys#translate-with-ai) or [AI Chart Creation](/unify-feedback/dashboards-charts#ai-builder)).
- **Data AI**: features that work directly with your feedback data (creating embeddings for Unify Feedback semantic search).
### Privacy-first and self-hosted where possible
We prioritize self-hosted AI, especially for capabilities that process customer feedback data. Formbricks supports
AI in self-hosted and on-premise environments, and we prefer open-weight models whenever feasible.
For Unify Feedback semantic search, we host the embeddings model ourselves. This means feedback data is not shared
with third-party model providers for that capability, and your collected feedback/response data is never used as AI
training input.
## Model Hosting Status
- **Current Smart Functionality model**: Gemini 3.5 Flash hosted on Google Cloud Platform in Germany.
- **Current Embeddings model**: Alibaba GTE embeddings hosted by Formbricks in Germany.
- **In progress**: evaluation of self-hosted Kimi 2.5 to replace Gemini 3.5 Flash for Smart Functionality.
## AI Features by Category
### Smart Functionality
- **[AI Survey Translation](/surveys/general-features/multi-language-surveys#translate-with-ai)**:
auto-translate survey questions, options, and prompts into enabled languages.
- **[AI Chart Creation](/unify-feedback/dashboards-charts#ai-builder)**:
describe a chart in natural language and Formbricks generates the underlying query.
### Data AI
- **Embeddings creation**:
create embeddings for feedback records so they can be used for semantic search, clustering, and retrieval.
## Permissions
Only **Owners** and **Managers** can change the AI toggle. Other roles see a read-only state.
