What is the Assistant​

The Overmind Assistant is a new interactive, LLM-powered chat tool that helps users troubleshoot incidents, explore applications, write documentation, and generate Terraform code. It integrates with Overmind's "Risk Analysis" capabilities, letting users search past changes.

Assistant Details​

Overmind Assistant launches with three core tools:

  • Query Real-Time Data: Gather information about the current state of AWS resources, like EC2 instances, S3 buckets, and databases.

  • Discover Relationships: Explore and understand the relationships and dependencies between different cloud resources to evaluate change impact.

  • Analyze Changes: Review recent changes to specific resources and assess their impact on the system.
