Our next-generation enterprise studio for AI builders

IBM® watsonx.ai™ AI studio is part of the IBM watsonx™ AI and data platform, bringing together new generative AI (gen AI) capabilities powered by foundation models and traditional machine learning (ML) into a powerful studio spanning the AI lifecycle. Tune and guide models with your enterprise data to meet your needs with easy-to-use tools for building and refining performant prompts. With watsonx.ai, you can build AI applications in a fraction of the time and with a fraction of the data. Watsonx.ai offers:

  • Multi-model variety and flexibility: Choose from IBM-developed Granite models, open-source and third-party models, or bring your own custom foundation model.
  • Differentiated client protection: IBM stands behind IBM-developed Granite models and indemnifies the client against third-party IP claims.
  • End-to-end AI governance: Enterprises can scale and accelerate the impact of AI with trusted data across the business, using data wherever it resides.
  • Hybrid, multi-cloud deployments: IBM provides the flexibility to integrate and deploy your AI workloads into your hybrid-cloud stack of choice.

Use cases

Bring your own custom foundation models or work with a suite of curated foundation models offered by IBM, including Granite models. Experiment with open source models through the IBM and Hugging Face partnership to meet the needs of your business.

Collect, create and share knowledge Build a Q&A resource from a broad internal or external knowledge base across your company’s proprietary data to share organizational insights. With the help of generative AI, you can analyze multiple documents and data inputs, provide effective responses based on real-time information feeds and improve documentation quality. Learn more
Extract insights and discover trends Analyze large amounts of data to identify and extract insights or facts from documents or reports, customer interactions, security or IT incidents. Discover patterns, trends or anomalies that occur within the data with the use of generative AI. From the themes extracted, traditional AI and ML algorithms can then forecast and make predictions, such as calculating credit risk, future sales, demand forecasts and inventory management, specific to the user's needs and business requirements. 
Generate synthetic tabular data Generate synthetic tabular data to protect sensitive information during testing stages. Address data gaps and reduce the risk of exposing an individual’s personal data by taking advantage of data created artificially through computer simulation or algorithms. Further build and test AI and ML models with synthetic data to overcome data gaps and, in turn, improve speed to market with new AI solutions.
Generate content, technology and code New technology, content and code can be created through the power of generative AI to support developer and business user productivity across a range of business domains. The content generated can include lesson planning and curriculum development, ideas for marketing and sales campaigns, emails, blogs, social media posts, product demonstrations, synthetic data images, technical documentation, user persona development, automated reports, scripts and more.

Features
Foundation models Clients have access to a family of IBM-developed Granite foundation models of different sizes and architectures, including open-source Granite models and IBM customized Granite models to support enterprise domains and use cases such as RAG. They can bring in other third-party models including Meta's Llama 3 and Mistral AI. They also have access to IBM-supported custom foundation models. See foundation models in watsonx.ai Explore how to choose the right foundation model
Prompt Lab Where AI builders can work with foundation models and build prompts using prompt engineering. Within the Prompt Lab, users can interact with foundation models in the prompt editor using the Chat, Freeform or Structured mode. These multiple options will allow you to craft the best model configurations to support a range of Natural Language Processing (NLP) type tasks including question answering, content generation and summarization, text classification and extraction.
Tuning Studio Prompt-tune foundation models as part of our Tuning Studio to help tune your foundation models with labeled data for better performance and accuracy. Prompt-tuning is an efficient, low-cost way of adapting a foundation model to new downstream tasks without retraining the model and updating its weights. Once your model is tuned, you can start using it in the Prompt Lab. Subsequent releases will include capabilities for model fine-tuning as part of our Tuning Studio.
Public preview now available Flows engine With its intuitive flow language, watsonx.ai flows engine simplifies the development process, allowing generative AI applications to be effortlessly deployed to the cloud, accessed via API calls or SDKs, and integrated into existing projects and architectures. The feature provides a range of pre-built AI flows for tasks such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Summarization, allowing developers to embed AI into their business processes seamlessly. Learn more about flows engine
Data science and MLOps All the tools, pipelines and runtimes powered by foundation models, a data scientist would need to support building ML models automatically. Automate the entire AI model lifecycle from development to deployment with connections to a variety of APIs, SDKs and libraries.
