Automate Your Tasks

Example: Set Alerts for Your Applications

In addition to investigating problems, you may use the assistant for various other usecases such as automating tasks such as setting up alerts, learning about specific exceptions/errors, and summarizing long and complex documents into easy to communicate messages. All you need is just to ask the AEye Assistant.

Reset Context

The assistant understands the context of the conversation so that you don't have to repeat it during each subsequent questions. However, as you keep interacting with it, this conversational context may become confusing. We impose a limit of 10 interactions for which the assistant retains the context and after that we reset the conversation automaticlly. You may hit the 'reset' button anytime to clean the conversational context.
