Matt Vollmer 52bd05adb4 docs: remove AI Governance Add-On references (#28073)
## Summary

Replaces all remaining "AI Governance Add-On" references with language
consistent with AI Governance being included with a Premium license.

**`docs/ai-coder/ai-gateway/standalone.md`**

- Admonition: "AI Gateway requires the AI Governance Add-On...
deployments without the add-on will not be able to access" → "AI Gateway
requires a Premium license. Community deployments cannot access AI
Gateway."
- Requirements list: "A Coder license with the AI Governance Add-On" →
"A Premium license with AI Governance"

**`docs/install/airgap.md`**

- Table row: "deployments with the AI Governance Add On" → "deployments
with AI Governance"

**`docs/reference/glossary.md`**

- Agent Firewall, AI Gateway, AI Gateway Proxy entries: "This feature
requires the AI Governance Add-On" → "This feature requires a Premium
license"
- Agent Workspace Build entry: "the AI Governance Add-On expands the
allowance" → "a Premium license expands the allowance"
- Heading: "### AI Governance Add-On" → "### AI Governance"
- Definition: "A separate per-user license for Premium customers,
purchased on top of a Premium subscription..." → "Included with a
Premium license, AI Governance unlocks..."

**`docs/ai-coder/ai-governance.md`**

- Removed the "Identifying AI seat consumers" section (heading through
end of file), which described an "AI add-on column" in the UI

## Note

References to Agent Workspace Builds will be eliminated in a separate PR
that removes Coder Tasks from the docs.

Coder is a self-hosted platform for cloud development environments and AI coding agents. Workspaces are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used. Coder Agents runs a native AI coding agent whose loop executes in the control plane on your infrastructure, with no API keys in workspaces.

  • Define cloud development environments in Terraform
    • EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
  • Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
  • Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
  • Delegate coding work to AI agents on your infrastructure
    • Bring any model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Bedrock, self-hosted)
    • No LLM credentials in workspaces, user identity on every action
    • Centralized model governance, cost tracking, and audit logging

Coder platform showing templates and a running workspace

Quickstart

The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).

# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server

# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace

Install

The easiest way to install Coder is to use the install script for Linux and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub Releases.

curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.

See install for additional methods.

Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:

# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server

# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>

Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. See the install guides for a complete tutorial.
