# Varbase AI Recipes

## Overview

Varbase 11.0.x provides AI-powered features through a set of composable recipes. These recipes follow a modular architecture: the **Varbase AI Base** recipe installs core AI modules and foundational configurations, while specialized recipes layer on specific AI capabilities such as content generation, image accessibility, and taxonomy management.

This approach allows site builders to adopt only the AI features they need, keeping their installations lean and focused.
