AI

Cosmic offers a suite of features in the dashboard powered by AI to help you build your Cosmic projects faster.

AI Studio

Content Model Generation

The AI Studio generates complete content structures from natural language descriptions. Instead of manually configuring fields, relationships, and validation rules, you can describe what you need and receive a fully functional content model with multiple content types, relationships, and demo content to get started fast.

Content model capabilities:

Generate content models for any type of website or application
Add new content types that integrate with existing structures
Configure relationships between content types automatically
Create complex multi-language structures with custom validation

Working examples:

"Create a content model for an e-commerce store with products, collections, and customer reviews"
"Add an Events content model that relates to my existing blog posts and authors"
"Set up a portfolio website with projects, skills, and testimonials"

Content Management

Beyond structure creation, the AI handles content generation and management at scale.

Content operations:

Generate realistic sample content for testing and development
Bulk update existing content with new fields and metadata
Maintain consistency across large content datasets
Apply SEO optimization and structured data automatically

Practical applications:

"Create 10 sample blog posts with realistic content for my existing blog model"
"Update all product entries to include pricing and availability status"

Application Development and Deployment

AI-Powered Code Generation

The Cosmic AI Platform generates production-ready applications using your existing content structure. Applications are built with modern frameworks and include proper TypeScript definitions, responsive design, and performance optimizations.

Supported frameworks:

Next.js applications with server-side rendering
React dashboards and single-page applications
Astro static sites with modern tooling
Vue.js progressive web applications

AI assisted development

Click the "AI chat" button in the top right corner of the Cosmic dashboard to open the AI chat drawer. Use AI chat to learn how to integrate your content into your apps. Available for the admin and developer role.

Get insights from media

Click the "AI chat" button on any media asset to get summaries and insights from PDFs, spreadsheets, documents, and more. Available for all roles.

Generate alt text

To generate alt text for an image, go to any image, find the alt text area, and click the "Generate" button. You can also generate alt text for a group of images at once. Available for all roles.

Generate images

To generate images, open the Media modal, click the "Generate" button, and describe the image you want to generate. Available for all roles.

Auto translate content with AI

You can use Cosmic AI to auto translate content from one language to another. Available for all roles.

Content generation

You can use Cosmic AI to generate content for your projects. Create summaries, SEO optimized content, translations, and more. Available for all roles.

AI Agents

AI Agents are autonomous assistants that can work on tasks independently, either manually or on a schedule. Agents can help you automate content management and application development workflows.

Access Requirements: AI Agents and AI Studio are available to users with Admin or Developer bucket roles only. Editor and Contributor roles do not have access to these features.

Agent Types

Code Agents: Connect to a GitHub repository to build features, fix bugs, and deploy code changes. Code agents work on isolated branches and can create pull requests when complete.

Content Agents: Generate, update, and manage CMS content. Content agents can create new objects, update existing content, and perform bulk operations.

Key Features

Parallel Execution: Run multiple agents simultaneously (limits based on your plan)
Scheduled Tasks: Set agents to run on a schedule (available on paid plans)
Branch Isolation: Code agents work on separate Git branches to prevent conflicts
Progress Tracking: Monitor commits, files changed, and real-time status updates
Email Notifications: Receive updates when agents complete their work
Pull Request Management: Agents can create PRs for code review before merging
Progressive Discovery: Content agents can crawl web content to inform their work

Plan Limits

Agent limits are enforced in two tiers:

Plan-Based Limits (varies by plan):

Free Plan: 2 agents at a time
Paid Plans: More agents based on your plan (check your plan details)
Scheduled Agents: Only available on paid plans

Hard Limits (absolute maximum):

Code Agents: Maximum 5 active agents per repository
Content Agents: Maximum 5 active agents per bucket
Scheduled Agents: Maximum 3 scheduled/recurring agents per repository

Note: Plan limits are checked first. Even with a paid plan, you cannot exceed the hard limits.

Usage Examples

Code agent examples:

"Build a contact form component with form validation and email integration"
"Add dark mode support to the entire application"
"Optimize images and implement lazy loading"

Content agent examples:

"Create 5 blog posts about sustainable living based on recent news"
"Update all product descriptions to include sustainability information"
"Generate a weekly newsletter from the top blog posts"

Creating an Agent

Navigate to the AI Agents page in your bucket
Click "Create Agent"
Choose your agent type (Repository or Content)
Describe the task you want the agent to complete
(Optional) Set a schedule for recurring execution
(Optional) For content agents, enable Progressive Discovery to crawl web content

Scheduling Options

Agents can be configured to run:

Manually: Execute on-demand when you need them
Hourly: Run every hour for frequent updates
Daily: Run once per day at a specified time
Weekly: Run on specific days of the week
Monthly: Run on specific days of the month

Note: Scheduled agents are available on paid plans. Free plans are limited to manual execution only.

Agent Limits by Plan

Agent limits apply at the project level (for standalone projects) or workspace level (for workspace projects):

Free Plan: 2 agents per project (manual execution only)
Starter Plan: 5 agents per project (includes scheduling)
Pro Plan: 10 agents per project (includes scheduling)
Enterprise Plan: Custom agent limits

Progressive Discovery

Agents can use Progressive Discovery to crawl and analyze web content before generating or updating CMS content. This feature allows agents to:

Research current trends and topics from specified websites
Gather real-world examples and data
Reference actual sources with accurate URLs
Create content informed by the latest information

To use Progressive Discovery, enable it when creating a content agent and specify the URLs or topics you want the agent to explore.

Usage and limits

Cosmic AI is available on all Cosmic plans with varying limits. You can add more tokens to your account by upgrading your plan or adding the AI tokens add-on. Go to the pricing page to learn more.

Tokens

Tokens are the unit of usage for Cosmic AI. In general, 1 token equals 1 word or 4 characters. You can view your AI usage from the Usage section of your projects.

Input tokens are the number of tokens used to in your request. When generating image alt text, the input token count is 3,000.

Output tokens are the number of tokens generated by the AI. This number depends on the length of the content generated. When generating images, the output token count is 17,000.
