Mission

Topic area: Information Technology
Operational functions: Chatbot or virtual assistant Derived by keyword rules; see methodology

Problem the AI is intended to solve

Lack of adoption of automation, or expertise in coding knowledge to automate a remediation/code change. Ansible LightSpeed helps create automations faster, making teams more efficient and productive in a shorter amount of time than if they needed to write automations on their own.

Expected benefits

Quicker time to service and resolution

System outputs

Automation playbooks. Ansible LightSpeed answers questions inside the Ansible Automation Platform application via a chatbot dialogue box in the application. Ansible LightSpeed can also be a plugin for Visual Studio Code where it can generate YAML code for a developer (or administrator or engineer) where they are developing the YAML code. Both of these are optional to the included Ansible Automation Platform.
