IBM Watsonx AI Configuration
Overview
IBM Watson Studio is a toolset for exploring data to build, train, and deploy machine learning models. It integrates various tools, including Jupyter Notebooks, Anaconda, and Apache Spark, and supports both graphical drag-and-drop interfaces and command-line interactions. Watson.ai provides several generative AI services including vector embeddings and text completions. More information can be found at https://developer.ibm.com/learningpaths/get-started-watson-studio/introduction-watson-studio/
Configuration an AI Assistant
The following are needed in order to use the Watson AI embedding and completion services:
- Watson Studio project ID,
- API key and
- an associated service with an Editor role.
The details on using these IBM Watsonx AI values are in the “AI Assistant Configuration” document here.
A URL for Watsonx AI Studio is

Two URLs to access your Watson projects are
https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/projects
Click the right hand “Create Project” button.
Enter a name.
Click
Click the Manage tab
Copy the project ID
Click Access Control
Click
Start typing a filter.
Checkmark the service
Choose “Editor” from the drop down.
This role avoids this potential downstream error
message: 'Unauthorized user iam-ServiceId-1c415 in project_id 5c283 with Role editor
due to: User iam-ServiceId-1c415 not authorized with role editor'
Click
Next the Watson ML service needs to be associated with the project. To avoid “project_id XXX is not associated with a WML instance”, navigate to
Click
Check
Click
The existing API key was used for early testing. Nothing was done with the options shown below.
