# What is Polaris

**Note:** For access, please talk to our [Support](mailto:support@contentstack.com) team.

As content operations scale, teams spend increasing time on repetitive CMS tasks, such as updating entries, fixing metadata, and making small changes across multiple places. While AI can assist with content generation, most CMS friction comes from **execution**, not ideation.

Polaris is built to address this gap by applying AI where it matters most: **inside the CMS**, during real content operations, with full awareness of structure, context, and governance.

Polaris is **Contentstack’s built-in AI co-pilot**, that offers:

*   **Faster CMS actions:** Perform real CMS operations directly within the interface quickly.
*   **Contextual assistance:** Al automatically understands the content ([Entry](/docs/headless-cms/about-entries), [Asset](/docs/headless-cms/about-assets), or [Visual Editor](/docs/headless-cms/about-visual-editor)) a user is working on, eliminating the need to explain the task or location.
*   **Direct execution:** Execute complex CMS actions (updating fields, modifying metadata, applying visual changes) using the same rules and permissions as the Ul, unlike generic Al chat tools.

## What Can You Do with Polaris

With Polaris, you can:

*   Ask questions about the current entry, asset, or page
*   Update entry fields such as headings and descriptions
*   Perform multiple updates in a single request
*   Modify asset metadata, including titles, descriptions, tags, and folders
*   Make contextual updates inside the Visual Editor
*   Review and confirm changes before they are applied
