GrowthThis feature is available with a Growth plan. 5.30+This feature requires Strapi version 5.30+ or later.

Some Strapi CMS features can be enhanced with Strapi AI, helping content managers and administrators design content structures, translate content automatically, and generate asset metadata, all from the admin panel.

Activation and configuration​

Strapi AI is available for Growth plan users since Strapi 5.30 and works with both Strapi Cloud and self-hosted deployments. To get started:

  1. Upgrade to Strapi v5.30+. AI features are not available on earlier versions.
  2. Activate a Growth license key, or start a 30-day free trial via CLI or Strapi Cloud. The trial includes 10 free credits to explore AI features.
  3. Access AI features from the Content-Type Builder, Media Library, or Content Manager; they are enabled by default.

All Strapi AI features can be enabled or disabled globally through the admin panel configuration:

/config/admin.js|ts
module.exports = {
  // ...
  ai: {
    enabled: true, // set to false to disable all Strapi AI features
  },
};

See Admin panel configuration > Strapi AI for all configuration options.

Credits and data handling​

Strapi AI features consume AI credits.

Strapi AI includes 1,000 credits per month on the Growth plan, and 10 free credits during the free trial. Strapi AI is not available on Enterprise plans.

Lightweight actions use fewer credits, while more complex ones use more.

You can check your credit usage in the Settings Overview of the admin panel. Notifications are sent when your usage reaches 80%, 90%, and 100% of your monthly allowance.

Credits are shared across all users within the same project instance.

When your credits run out, you can keep using Strapi AI, with overages billed monthly. For more information about Strapi AI, please refer to the dedicated support article.

All AI requests are processed through Strapi-managed infrastructure. Content is only used temporarily during each request and is not stored outside your instance. Strapi AI follows the same GDPR-aligned framework as Strapi Cloud.

See Usage information > Strapi AI data handling for more details.
