# Copilots

FEATURE AVAILABILITY

Copilot is available for all direct customers across all Workato data centers. It is available to Embedded partners in the admin workspace, but is not available in Embedded customer workspaces. All data is sent to OpenAI's servers in the US. You can opt-in to this feature by agreeing to our AI feature addendum (opens new window). Contact your Customer Success representative to learn more.

Workato's Copilots leverage AI to enhance various aspects of your automation processes, making building, managing, and documenting your recipes easier and faster.
