The Arduino AI Assistant is an experimental feature in the Arduino Cloud Editor, that uses Generative AI to help write code for your sketch.
In this article:
Requirements
The Arduino AI Assistant is available on all Cloud plans.
The maximum number of requests that can be sent each month depends on the Cloud plan:
