Console AI Experience Preview for Free Tier and Always Free Customers
- Services: Console
- Release Date: July 14, 2026
Console AI is a new conversational experience in the OCI Console that helps you work faster using natural language. It supports a wide range of use cases, including exploring resources, creating and managing supported OCI resources, troubleshooting issues, understanding billing and usage, and learning how to complete common OCI tasks.
Console AI operates within your existing OCI Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions. It uses your current OCI context, including your selected region, compartments, resources, and permissions, to provide relevant guidance and execute supported workflows. Any action that modifies OCI resources requires your review and approval before it is performed.
Beginning with the July 14, 2026 release, the Console AI Experience Preview is available to Free Tier and Always Free customers whose home region is one of the following:
- Ashburn
- Chicago
- Frankfurt
- Hyderabad
- London
- Osaka
- Phoenix
- Riyadh
- São Paulo
To enable and launch Console AI:
