Problem the AI is intended to solve

This solution will be able to: 1. Information Retrieval: Query our router database and backup configurations to answer questions about network topology, device status, and configuration details 2. Configuration Generation: Assist in building network device configurations based on our standards and requirements 3. Troubleshooting Support: Help diagnose network outages by analyzing device data and providing guided troubleshooting steps 4. Read-Only Device Access: Eventually integrate with our network infrastructure to gather real-time information from devices in a secure, read-only manner It will solve the problem of reducing the time required to resolve network issues, human errors in configuration, availability of network support.

Expected benefits

Benefits: • Reduced mean time to resolution for network issues • Standardized configuration generation reducing human error • Enhanced knowledge sharing across the WAN team • 24/7 availability for network operations support • Improved training resource for new team members

System outputs

Router configurations, Troubleshooting information, information pertaining to our devices, security compliance checks, answers to leaderships questions, training information to new employees.
