Overmind Assistant: Unleash your tribal knowledge and make everyone an expert

Overmind Assistant: Unleash your tribal knowledge and make everyone an expert

We're excited to introduce the Overmind Assistant, our latest Explore feature that has the power to transform the way you manage your AWS infrastructure. The Assistant is an interactive, LLM-powered chat tool that can help you troubleshoot incidents, explore applications, write documentation and generate terraform code. This feature is deeply integrated with our Risk Analysis capabilities, allowing users to search previous changes.

Talk to an expert, don't fight with a CLI

The most important information about your cloud lives in the heads of a small number of experts and is learned through hard lessons that we want to avoid. Overmind Assistant unleashes this "tribal knowledge", using LLMs to allow anyone to solve "needle in a haystack" problems with real-time data.

With the Overmind assistant, you and your team will be able to:

  • Reduce Cognitive Load - Understand the cloud resources your app depends on, and make changes with confidence. Context switch in seconds to resolve issues faster.
  • Accelerate Incident Resolution - Resolve issues faster by quickly accessing and referencing historical data.
  • Automate Time-Consuming Tasks - Streamline workflows by automating documentation and generate fully-formed Terraform code snippets, ad-hoc scripts and commands without any placeholders.

Grounded in real data, not hallucinations

Overmind builds a real-time graph of dynamic relationships of your cloud infrastructure that other tools simply can't match. The assistant can explore this operating on actual, current data. Allowing it to provide you with responses grounded in reality while eliminating the risks associated with AI hallucinations.

The Overmind assistant launches with three tools that cover a wide range of use cases:

  • Query Real-Time Data: It can gather information about the current state of AWS resources, such as EC2 instances, S3 buckets, databases, and more.
  • Discover Relationships: It can explore and understand the relationships and dependencies between different cloud resources, which helps in evaluating the impact of changes or failures.
  • Analyse Changes: It can review recent changes to specific resources and assess how these may impact the overall system.

Getting Started with Assistant

  1. Install the Overmind CLI
  2. Run `overmind explore`
  3. Click the link to the Explore page to interact with the Assistant and begin by using some suggested queries.
  • For example 'what are my EC2 instances' or utilise other suggested queries for troubleshooting, documentation, infrastructure code generation
