CyPilot

AI grounded in your live cluster state. Approval-first on every mutating operation.

CyPilot

CyPilot is a conversational AI assistant for operations and troubleshooting. Powered by an on-prem LLM (phi3:medium-128k) + RAG over your knowledge base + real-time cluster state. Intent parser classifies risk (READ_ONLY / LOW_RISK / DESTRUCTIVE). LOW_RISK operations auto-execute; DESTRUCTIVE always requires explicit approval.

Use Cases

Where CyPilot wins.

1

L1/L2 ticket resolution

'VM X is unreachable' โ†’ CyPilot runs diagnostics, suggests fix, runs LOW_RISK remediation if confidence > 0.85. Operator approves anything risky.

2

New SRE onboarding acceleration

Junior SREs ask CyPilot how to do things. Grounded in your actual runbooks (RAG-indexed). No more 'wait for the senior to come back'.

3

Compliance Q&A

'How are PHI records encrypted in this cluster?' โ†’ CyPilot answers with cluster-specific config + audit trail, not generic docs.

4

Incident war room copilot

During incidents, CyPilot pulls correlated signals from CyOptics + Prometheus + logs and proposes the most likely root cause. With citations.

5

Self-service for non-ops users

Tenant admins ask CyPilot 'show me my running VMs' or 'create a new dev environment with 4 vCPUs'. LOW_RISK approvals route to tenant policy.

6

Documentation search & generation

Knowledge base searches return facts from your live state. Documentation drafts grounded in actual configurations.

Key Capabilities

What's inside.

๐Ÿ 

On-prem LLM (Ollama)

phi3:medium-128k. No prompt data leaves your cluster. Sovereign AI.

๐Ÿ“š

RAG over your knowledge

90+ default knowledge entries; ingests your runbooks. nomic-embed-text embeddings, cosine similarity retrieval.

๐Ÿ›‘

Approval-first

DESTRUCTIVE actions never auto-execute. LOW_RISK allowlist is narrow + explicit.

๐ŸŽฏ

Intent classifier

Risk classification on every request. CREATE/DELETE/ACTION/QUERY/TROUBLESHOOT/WORKFLOW intent shapes.

๐Ÿ”Œ

Action executor with audit

Every action audit-logged with actor, intent, parameters, outcome. Reversible where possible.

๐Ÿง 

Hierarchical approval

Approvals route per tenant policy. DCOS_ADMIN vs TENANT_ADMIN vs USER scopes.

vs competition: Replaces SRE toil and one-off scripts. Not a replacement for human judgment on destructive operations โ€” approval gates are non-negotiable.
