## AI overview

This article presents a framework for integrating AI into platform engineering instead of allowing isolated AI silos. It focuses on standardizing AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude through platform templates, organizational prompts, development standards, security requirements, and approved MCP servers. The approach aims to reduce shadow AI, uncontrolled costs, security vulnerabilities, and compliance risks while improving developer experience and operational excellence.
