|addon| for the |NCS|
#####################

The |addon| for the |NCS| combines `Matter`_ smart-home protocol support with Edge AI capabilities.
It enables development of Matter accessories that use on-device inference.

The add-on builds on the `Edge AI add-on`_ (version |edge-ai_version|) and connects it with Matter applications in the |NCS|.
In combination with the |NCS|, the |addon| allows for development of Matter Edge AI applications.

.. note::
   The |addon| is provided as an `experimental feature <Software maturity levels_>`_.
