# PEARS AI Tools

On **August 1, 2024**, AI-powered features became available within specific PEARS modules. When enabled, AI buttons appear contextually within the system to perform different tasks based on the current location and function.

Since launch, AI tools have expanded to include four features:

* **Module Builder AI** — Generate custom modules from a natural language description using a conversational AI planner
* **Survey Analysis** — Generate narrative summaries of survey response data from a program activity
* **Story Summary** — Generate concise summaries of success story narratives linked to an action plan
* **Public Value Editor** — Draft public value statements for action plans based on needs assessment and situation context

## Enabling AI Tools

AI tools are controlled by the **Use AI Tools** organization setting. When enabled, certain data is sent to OpenAI for processing in accordance with OpenAI's Enterprise Privacy Policy. Data remains confidential and is not used for model training.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** Organizations should contact PEARS Support with questions regarding implementation, data privacy, or technical specifications before enabling AI tools.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** AI-generated content is always a starting point. Review and edit any AI output to ensure it accurately represents your program's data before including it in reports.
{% endhint %}
