C3 AI Studio and Release Management Overview

This guide provides a reference for users working with C3 AI Studio and its Release Management system on the C3 AI Platform.

C3 AI Studio serves as an administrative tool for developing, configuring, deploying, and monitoring AI applications.

Release Management, integrated within the platform, supports continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and deployment processes by managing builds, branches, and artifacts.

Together, they enable efficient lifecycle management of AI applications, from development to deployment in production environments.
