Enable dbt Copilot beta

This page explains how to enable the dbt Copilot engine in dbt Cloud, leveraging AI to speed up your development and allowing you to focus on delivering quality data.

Prerequisites

  • Available in the dbt Cloud IDE only.
  • Must have an active dbt Cloud Enterprise account.
  • Development environment be "Versionless".
  • Current dbt Copilot deployments use a central OpenAI API key managed by dbt Labs. In the future, you may provide your own key for Azure OpenAI or OpenAI.
  • Accept and sign legal agreements. Reach out to your Account team to begin this process.

Enable dbt Copilot

dbt Copilot is only available at an account level after your organization has signed the legal requirements. It's disabled by default. Your dbt Cloud admin(s) will enable it by following these steps:

  1. Navigate to Account Settings in the navigation menu.

  2. Under Settings, confirm the account you're enabling.

  3. Click Edit in the top right corner.

  4. To turn on dbt Copilot, toggle the Enable account access to AI-powered features switch to the right. The toggle will slide to the right side, activating dbt Copilot.

  5. Click Save. You should now have the dbt Copilot AI engine enabled for use.

Note: To disable (only after enabled), repeat steps 1 to 3, toggle off in step 4, and repeat step 5.
