Creating AI assets manually
You can create AI assets manually to track and manage the life cycles of your AI systems, AI models, prompts, and datasets.
Most AI assets enter your inventory through automated discovery, Service Graph Connectors, or observability traces. Manual creation is the option to use when an asset isn't reachable by those methods, or when you need to record an asset that isn't yet operational so governance work can begin before deployment.
Manually created assets enter the inventory in the unmanaged state. To bring an asset into governance workflows, set its management status to managed from the inventory list or initiate a steward review. For details on moving assets to managed status, see Managed and unmanaged AI assets and Managing AI assets in bulk.
