AI assistants in workspaces
Che supports AI coding assistants that are injected into workspaces and available from the terminal. You can select one or more AI providers when creating a workspace, and your administrator controls which providers are available.
When your administrator configures AI providers, an AI Provider section is displayed on the Create Workspace page. Selecting a provider injects the tool binary into the workspace editor container and adds it to PATH.
If no AI providers are configured, the AI Provider section is hidden.
| The dashboard only shows tools that are compatible with the architecture of your cluster nodes. On IBM Z (s390x) or Power (ppc64le) clusters, tools that do not support those architectures are hidden automatically. |
Default AI provider
If your administrator has set a default AI provider, the Create Workspace page displays it automatically. To override, expand Choose an AI Provider and select a different provider.
Selecting a tool version
When an AI provider offers multiple image variants (for example, next and insiders), an ellipsis menu (⋮) is displayed on the provider card. Click the menu to choose the version you want injected into your workspace. The selected version is shown as a label on the card.
The same version picker is available on the Overview tab of an existing workspace under AI Tool > edit.
