# Using Treasure Code CLI with AI Coding Assistants

## Flexible AI Integration

Treasure Code CLI is designed to work seamlessly with popular AI coding assistants, including Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI-powered development tools. This flexibility allows you to choose the AI tools that best fit your workflow and organizational preferences.

## Understanding Data Flow

When you use Treasure Code CLI with a third-party AI coding assistant, data from your Treasure Data account may be shared with the AI provider to enable intelligent assistance. This data exchange may include:

- Database schemas and table structures
- Query results and data samples
- Customer segment definitions
- Marketing workflow configurations
- Other data retrieved through Treasure code (tdx) commands


## Important Considerations

Each AI assistant provider operates under their own terms of service, model training, and data practices. Treasure Data does not control how third-party AI providers handle data, including:

- Data collection, processing, storage, and retention policies
- Use of data for model training or service improvements
- Security and privacy safeguards
- Compliance with local data protection regulations and best practices (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, etc.)


## Your Control and Responsibility

You have full control over which AI coding assistant tools you use with Treasure Code CLI. We recommend that you:

- **Review provider policies**: Understand each AI provider's terms of service, privacy policy, training policies, and data usage practices
- **Align with your organization**: Ensure any third-party AI integration complies with your company's data governance, security, and privacy practices and procedures requirements
- **Obtain appropriate approvals**: Consult with your legal, compliance, and security teams before using or sharing sensitive or regulated data with external AI services
- **Configure settings appropriately**: Where available, adjust AI provider settings to control data retention and usage adhering to your company's best practices, policies, and procedures


## Secure Alternatives

For organizations looking for a fully-managed solution and the ability to take advantage of Treasure Data's integrated AI models and data security, privacy, governance, and policy permissions Treasure Data offers native AI capabilities:
