+# devenv 1.4: Generating Nix Developer Environments Using AI
+
+One of the main obstacles in using Nix for development environments is mastering the language itself.
+It takes time to become proficient writing Nix.
+
+How about using AI to generate it instead:
+
+```
+$ devenv generate a Python project using Torch
+• Generating devenv.nix and devenv.yaml, this should take about a minute ...
+```
+
+You can also use [devenv.new](http://devenv.new) to generate a new environment.
+
+## Generating devenv.nix for an existing project
+
+You can also tell devenv to create a scaffold based on your existing git source code:
+
+```
+$ devenv generate
+• Generating devenv.nix and devenv.yaml, this should take about a minute ...
+```
+
+## Telemetry
+
+To continually enhance the AI’s recommendations, we collect anonymous data on the environments generated. This feedback helps us train better models and improve accuracy.
+
+Of course, your privacy matters—if you prefer not to participate, just add the `--disable-telemetry` flag when generating environments.
+We also adhere to the [donottrack](https://consoledonottrack.com/) standard.
