Recommendations
Consider the following recommendations when working with the AI Coding Assistant:
- Add NuGet packages/referenced assemblies for the Telerik UI for WPF product.
- Set the .sln as a context.
- When switching between tasks and files, start a new session in a new chat window to avoid polluting the context with irrelevant or outdated information.
- At the time of publishing, Claude Sonnet 4 and GPT-4.1 produce optimal results.
License Requirements
Access to the Telerik UI for WPF AI Coding Assistant depends on your Telerik license type:
| License Type | AI Coding Assistant | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription License | Yes | A Subscription is the primary license that grants full access to the AI Coding Assistant. It includes a virtually unlimited number of requests, with a fair use threshold of 300 requests per day. Best for ongoing and high-volume usage. |
| Trial License | Yes | Trial access is designed for evaluating the feature before purchasing. Reactivating the same trial for a new release does not grant additional requests. |
| Perpetual License | No* | Perpetual license holders have no access to the AI Coding Assistant. Start a 30-day trial or convert Perpetual license to a Subscription license. |
* Perpetual license holders can access the AI Coding Assistant through a 30-day AI Tools trial or a Telerik UI for WPF trial. After the trial expires, access is no longer available unless the Perpetual license is converted to a Subscription license.
All Telerik AI tools share a single request limit for your Telerik account. Requests made through the Telerik MCP server count against the same usage quota. When using the Telerik MCP server, one prompt may trigger several requests, depending on the prompt complexity.
Privacy
The Telerik WPF AI Coding Assistant operates under strict privacy guidelines:
Data Access:
- No access to your workspace and application code.
- Exception: when using the Telerik MCP server (or any other MCP server), the LLM generates parameters for the MCP server request, which may include parts of your application code.
Data Usage:
- Your prompts are not used to train Telerik AI models.
- Does not generate or access AI responses.
- Provides enhanced context to improve responses from your chosen AI model (GPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.).
Data Storage:
- Prompts and context are anonymized and stored only for statistical analysis and troubleshooting.
- No association between prompts and your Telerik user account.
- Usage metrics are collected to ensure license compliance.
Make sure also to review the terms and privacy policies of your selected AI model and AI client.
