Summary

Adds a single customer-facing page that inventories every AI capability across Fern's products, for customers (and Fern's legal team, working through the updated Terms of Service) who need one place that answers: what AI runs, what it's for, which provider/model processes the data, what Fern stores, and how to turn it off.

New page: fern/products/home/pages/ai.mdx → published at /learn/home/ai, linked from the Home landing page CTA row and from the Docs AI overview intro. Changelog entry added under fern/products/docs/pages/changelog/.

Content is grounded in the platform/CLI source rather than in existing docs prose, and deliberately separates three categories that were previously blurred together:

  • capabilities that call a model (Ask Fern and its Slack app, MCP server, search suggestions, AI-generated examples, Fern Writer, Ask Fern analytics, four dashboard capabilities, fern sdk-diff),
  • features that are fully deterministic and involve no model call (llms.txt, Markdown access, agent directives, API catalog discovery, agent skills),
  • ordinary SDK/docs generation, which is deterministic and is stated as such.

Two sections exist specifically for the legal review: a provider/model-family table per capability (Anthropic direct with Bedrock fallback, OpenAI-compatible gateway for embeddings), and a "Data Fern sends and stores" section covering what reaches a provider per capability, query persistence and the configurable 1–3650 day retention window, and the no-training statement. Claims are limited to what the source establishes — where a deployment mapping is ambiguous (the two registry AI-example Lambda implementations use different providers), the page says "depending on the generation path" rather than naming one.

Setup instructions are not duplicated: every capability row links to its existing canonical page.

Note on the URL: the page lives in the Home product, which resolves at /learn/home/... in the generated site. AGENTS.md states Home pages resolve at /learn/{page-slug}; that isn't what the CLI produces. Making /learn/ai work required a product-level slug override that broke /learn itself (redirect to /learn/home → 404), so this PR links /learn/home/ai and leaves routing alone. Worth fixing separately if the short URL matters.

Rendered locally at /learn/home/ai; all 18 internal links verified against the running preview; pre-commit (Vale) clean and fern check --warnings reports 0 errors.
