Form 26AS is your annual tax statement. It mainly shows tax deducted at source (TDS), tax collected at source (TCS), advance tax and self-assessment tax paid against your PAN, and certain high-value transactions.
The Annual Information Statement (AIS) is wider. Besides the tax credits, it lists information reported about you by others, such as interest, dividends, securities transactions and GST turnover details, along with the TDS/TCS data. Both can be viewed after logging in to the income tax e-filing portal.
It is a good habit to match your books against both before filing your return, so that every TDS credit is claimed and any mismatch is explained.
