# Add and Manage AI Systems

The AI Systems module in Sprinto helps organisations maintain a central inventory of AI systems used across teams.

You can:

* Add internal and third-party AI systems
* Configure AI-specific metadata
* Assign owners and stakeholders
* Associate vendors with AI systems
* Track lifecycle stages
* Configure custom fields
* Monitor governance and compliance posture

This article explains how to add and manage AI systems from the Added AI Systems section.

* Custom AI workflows
* Proprietary machine learning systems
* Internal automation tools

### Configure Internal AI Systems

When you select Internal as the AI system type:

* Vendor selection is hidden
* Internal governance metadata remains available

You can configure:

* Stakeholders
* AI models
* Geography
* Multiuser fields
* Custom fields

***

## Add a Third-party AI System

Third-party AI systems represent externally provided AI platforms or services.

Examples include:

* ChatGPT Enterprise
* Claude
* Gemini
* AI-enabled SaaS platforms

### Configure Third-party AI Systems

When you select Third-party as the AI system type:

* Vendor selection becomes available
* Vendor governance workflows can be linked to the AI system

You can configure:

* Vendors
* Stakeholders
* AI models
* Geography
* Multiuser fields
* Custom fields

Associating vendors helps organisations perform due diligence, request documents, and maintain governance evidence.

* Compliance workflows
* Regional governance requirements

***

## View AI System Details

To open an AI system:

1. Navigate to **All AI systems**.
2. Click the AI system name.

This opens the AI system detail page.

The detail page contains multiple governance tabs, including:

* Overview
* Risk score
* Due diligence
* Documents & links
* Findings
* Tasks
* Requests
