Summary
The IgniteAI Agent is available to administrators and instructors in Canada. In this region, the Agent is free through September 30, 2026.
Note: IgniteAI Agent is powered by Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2 model, which supports multiple languages. While the model is designed to perform well in many high-resource languages, IgniteAI Agent has currently only been fully tested in English. Experiences in other languages may vary, particularly for languages with more limited training data.
