Data Usage for AI Cluster Assistant

The MongoDB AI Cluster Assistant is an AI assistant that is designed to answer questions about MongoDB's cluster features and offer recommendations to create or upgrade a cluster. You can directly apply that recommendation in Atlas to create or upgrade your cluster. The chatbot is powered by generative AI and may give inaccurate responses. See our Generative AI FAQ for more information.

The chatbot is available within the Atlas UI.

This feature currently uses the Azure OpenAI Service hosted by Microsoft. This is subject to change in the future.

When you use the AI Cluster Assistant in Atlas, the following information may be sent to MongoDB's backend and/or the third-party AI provider.

  • The full text of your prompt.

  • Configurations of the cluster you are editing, including instance size, cluster name, and settings per node or per shard.

  • Configurations of other clusters within the same project.

The information that is sent will not be stored by the AI provider. We do not send unsanitized connection strings, credentials, or rows/documents from your databases.

The AI Cluster Assistant chatbot respects organization level generative AI settings and will not be available if your organization disables generative AI features across all projects from Organization Settings. To do so, toggle off Enable Atlas features that use generative AI.

If generative AI features are enabled at the organization level, you can still disable the AI Cluster Assistant for a specific project by using the Atlas Administration API. To do so, update your project settings to toggle isClusterAiAssistantEnabled to false. If generative AI features are disabled at the organization level, the AI Cluster Assistant will be unavailable for all projects, even if isClusterAiAssistantEnabled is set to true. Currently, using the Atlas Administration API is the only way to disable the AI Cluster Assistant for a specific project.

If both organization and project level settings are enabled, developers who have access to Create Cluster in the Atlas UI will be able to use the AI Cluster Assistant chatbot. However, interaction with the feature is entirely optional.
