AI Assistant Overview

AI Assistants are the core operational interface in Wanclouds AI. Each assistant is scoped to a specific environment and connector, enabling precise, context-aware infrastructure management.

What is an AI Assistant?​

An AI Assistant is a dedicated agent that:

  • Uses a defined environment – e.g. On-Premise Infrastructure and Devices and cloud Infrastructures (IBM Cloud VPC or IBM Cloud Classic)
  • Uses attached connector – cloud infrastructure, Zabbix, or on-premise devices you’ve connected
  • Answers in context – it only sees the data from that connector and environment, so answers stay relevant and scoped

You create assistants in Settings → AI Assistant Setup,choose environment, attach the right connector, then choose that assistant in chat to get insights and take action.

Why use AI Assistants?​

  • Focused context – Each assistant only sees the connector and environment you assign, so answers are targeted to that scope.
  • Clear ownership – Use separate assistant per environment (e.g. prod vs dev), team (e.g. SRE vs security), or connector (e.g. cloud-only vs on-premise) so permissions and usage stay clear.
  • Smarter responses – The AI uses your real infrastructure data and patterns, so you get more accurate root-cause analysis and recommendations.

How they work​

  1. You ask – In chat, you ask about servers, networks, workloads, or incidents.
  2. Context is applied – The assistant uses only the connector and environment linked to it.
  3. You get a response – AI Assistant analyzes that data and returns insights, root-cause analysis, or recommended actions. You stay in control of what gets executed.

When to create multiple assistants​

Create a separate assistant when you have:

  • Different environments – e.g. production vs development
  • Different teams – e.g. SRE vs security
  • Different connector – e.g. cloud infrastructure vs on-premise or Zabbix-only

One assistant per environment or use case keeps context focused and access easier to manage.
