## Overview{% #overview %}

Bits AI recommends AI-generated Systems that you can add to your Software Catalog. It analyzes the following data sources to identify candidate Systems:

- Observability data, including distributed traces
- Component dependencies (automatically detected with APM or manually declared)
- Ownership metadata from your Software Catalog

Recommendations include service, datastore, and queue entity types and automatically populate the following System metadata:

- Name and display name
- Owner
- Description
- Components

**Note**: AI-generated Systems only suggest new Systems; they do not propose updates to existing ones.

## Enable AI-generated Systems{% #enable-ai-generated-systems %}

AI-generated Systems must be enabled once per organization by a user with the `org_management` permission (included in the default [Datadog Admin role](https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/rbac/permissions/#access-management)).

To enable it, navigate to **IDP** > **Software Catalog** > [**Suggestions**](https://app.datadoghq.com/software?selectedComponent=suggestionsTable), and click **Enable System Recommendations**.

Recommendations may take up to 30 minutes to appear after enablement.

To view recommendations, navigate to **IDP** > **Software Catalog** > **Suggestions** > [**Systems**](https://app.datadoghq.com/software?selectedComponent=suggestionsTable).

   alt="The Suggestions view in Software Catalog, showing a list of AI-generated Systems with high-level metadata for each" /%}

For each recommended System, you can:

- **Accept** it as-is to add it to your Software Catalog
- **Edit** metadata before accepting
- **Reject** it to remove from your recommendations

Accept or reject Systems directly from the list view, or click into an individual System to view details.

   alt="The detailed view for one AI-generated System, with an option to reject the suggestion or save it to your Software Catalog" /%}

In the detail view, you can modify:

- Name and display name
- Owner
- Description
- Components

After accepting a System, you can update additional metadata on the entity page in your Catalog. AI-generated Systems are automatically tagged with `created_by:ai` so you can identify which Systems in your Catalog were originally created by AI.
