Native AI in Enterprise Platforms

Each platform in the enterprise cohort now ships AI features. This section covers what is actually generally available (versus marketed-as-coming), which model providers sit underneath, how customer data is handled, and what these features cost as add-ons.

This section is Tier C — every citation must be ≤12 months old. AI features evolve fast and roadmap-vs-shipped distinctions are easy to lose track of.

These cells compress the AI surface to one phrase each. Open the linked platform-AI pages for the underlying evidence — including specific GA dates, partnership announcement dates, release timelines, and adoption numbers. Cells with multiple claims use the most material citation; the full sourcing lives on the linked pages.

Tier C means these cells will go stale fast. Refresh quarterly per REFRESH.md (Prompt B for the AI pages).
