StrictOps AI Assistant

The StrictOps AI Assistant is a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) assistant that can answer questions about your deployments, configurations, and the StrictOps platform. It uses your project context and the StrictOps documentation to provide accurate, grounded answers.

What It Can Do

• Answer questions about your deployments — Ask about deployment status, recent failures, or environment configurations and get answers drawn from your actual data.
• Explain configuration options — Not sure what profile: medium does, or how replicas interacts with capacity? Ask the assistant and it will explain using the official schema and docs.
• Help debug issues — Describe a deployment failure and the assistant can walk through likely causes based on your config, logs, and known error patterns.
• Guide onboarding — New team members can ask the assistant how to set up their AWS connection, configure their repository, or write their first strictops.yml.

How It Works

The assistant uses RAG to combine two sources of knowledge:

1. StrictOps documentation and schema — The full docs, configuration reference, and API specs are indexed and available for retrieval.
2. Your project context — When used within the StrictOps Console, the assistant has access to your organization's deployments, services, and environment data.

This means answers are grounded in real data, not hallucinated from general training knowledge.

Using the Assistant

In the StrictOps Console

The AI Assistant is available in the StrictOps Console. Open the assistant panel and ask a question in natural language.

Example prompts:

• "What environments do I have configured?"
• "Why did my last deployment to production fail?"
• "Show me an example strictops.yml for a Next.js app with 2 replicas"
• "What permissions does the AWS IAM role need?"
• "How do I set up auto-deploy on push to main?"

Tips for Good Results

• Be specific — "Why did deployment abc123 fail?" works better than "Why did it fail?"
• Reference real names — Use your actual service, environment, or deployment identifiers when asking questions.
• Ask follow-ups — The assistant maintains conversation context, so you can drill deeper into an answer.

Data Privacy

The assistant only accesses data within your organization. It does not share context between organizations or expose data from other tenants. All queries are scoped to your authenticated session.
