I was curious to understand the difference in importing a Blueprint into Pega with and without GenAI enabled - what are the differences?

Here's what I found:

When GenAI is enabled, importing a Blueprint becomes more than just bringing in design artifacts—it activates GenAI Autopilot, transforming the experience.  Here's what you get:  Accelerated Setup: The platform automatically generates application components like case types, workflows, data models, and UX views. AI-Powered Configuration: An application-level AI agent is created to populate example phrases, configure case tools, and scaffold integrations. Developer Assistance: Autopilot suggests lifecycle stages, provides contextual guidance, and even creates scenario tests for workflows. Result: You move from a static design to a functional, partially configured application in minutes, reducing time-to-market and improving quality.

When GenAI is Not Enabled Blueprint still provides massive value - you've still shaved lots of time off the SDLC and the Blueprint import still works, but it’s a basic transfer of design assets—case types, data objects, and personas—without AI-driven enrichment. Developers handle workflow, UI, and integration setup manually.
