# Creating an AI Project

A project comprises knowledge bases, agents, and Integrations. There are two types of projects:

* **Managed** : A dedicated project for the Audience Studio domain that the AI Framework creates. Typically, the CDP API creates the project when[the LLM feature is enabled](/products/customer-data-platform/data-workbench/parent-segments/creating-parent-segments#optional-general-llm-access) at the particular parent segment configuration, including a knowledge base, agents, etc. For example, [Audience Agent](/products/customer-data-platform/audience-studio/audience-agent/audience-agent-overview) is a managed project.
* **Self-defined** : A project that you create from scratch for specific business needs.

* [Create a Self-Defined Project](#create-a-self-defined-project)


## Create a Managed project for the Audience Agents

A managed project for Audience Agents is automatically created by turning it on the Parent Segment Config. Follow the instruction on [enable the parent segment to support AI projects](/products/customer-data-platform/data-workbench/parent-segments/creating-parent-segments).

Treasure Data will delete all projects and project assets if you disable support for AI Agents at the parent segment level.

## Create a Self-Defined Project

Follow these steps to create a self-defined project.

1. Open TD Console.
2. Navigate to **AI Agent Foundry**.
