AI is a core ServerKit primitive (not a plugin): an Intercom-style bubble + slide-in drawer on every dashboard page, with a tools+page-context assistant mode and a plain simple chat mode, SSE streaming, conversation persistence, and guarded write actions (the model proposes; the user approves).
Plugins EXTEND the assistant rather than rebuilding it: backend via app.plugins_sdk.ai (reg.tool + register_context_provider, discovered from a plugin.json ai block with install/enable/disable hooks); frontend via useServerkitAI() and a contributions.ai category (suggested_prompts, tool_renderers). The marketplace gains an ai category for discovery.
Backend: ai_service (Prompture Conversation + ProviderEnvironment + guardrails), ai_tool_registry singleton, ai_tools_builtin (core.* tools), the /api/v1/ai blueprint (SSE via a worker-thread + queue bridge, single-gevent-worker safe; in-thread confirmation gate), AiConversation/AiMessage/AiPendingAction models + migration 013, encrypted ai_* settings. Frontend: AIContext + components/ai/*, AI settings tab. Powered by Prompture (installed editable; requirements pinned).
