AI or something else for this project

[johbreaking]

Evening everybody. Right not sure how to explain what I am trying to do so will have a go. As our MAT has expanded I need to start to generate more reports based on switches, services, filtering etc and these are presented to trust boards (don't know why they need them so regularly)

 

I have stock answers as such stored in a google doc and also a google sheet I put into my template and images on basic topology however it is getting tedious copying them across everytime. I am looking for a way to basically answer pre loaded questions like what switches school A has (Aruba or Cisco) and then my answers auto generate the document with pictures of the AP's etc fill the template from the stock answers

 

Is this even possible or where do I start. We are a gsuite MAT as well.

 

TIA

If you want to do this with AI, in a google environment, start reading up on Vertex (not an AI model itself, but a collection of tooling - you can use whichever model you like, including opensource ones). You'll probably need the Document AI

The idea is then you use Retrieval Augmented Generation to create your own model that's been trained on your data. You can interact with that model via an API and create a frontend app.

That's the basic idea anyway.

 

To be perfectly honest, I would approach this from a different angle. Rather than document what you have, document what you want and then build it from the documentation. This is really an Infrastructure as Code technique where you plan out what you need and built - this serves as your documentation (with appropriate comments) and your configuration.

I came across this open source tool today, not had much time for a deep dive into it, but it might fit you needs: https://www.danswer.ai/
