What it is

Octopus AI Assistant is a free assistant for Octopus Deploy workflows, available through an API, browser extension, and web access. It answers Octopus Deploy questions in natural language from product documentation, generates configured deployment projects from text prompts, and includes examples for Azure Web Apps and AWS Lambda. For failures, it examines deployment logs, process configuration, and error details, then suggests troubleshooting steps. A best-practices adviser can identify unused or duplicate variables and suggest tenant tags. Teams can add custom prompts containing organizational knowledge, procedures, and support channels. The Assistant is installed as a Chrome extension and requires an Octopus instance plus a Chromium-based browser supporting Chrome Web Store extensions. On-premises instances must accept HTTPS requests from 51.8.40.170 and expose an Internet-resolvable DNS name. Octopus says prompts are collected, logs are sanitized for personally identifiable information, and customer data is not used to train AI models. API access follows existing user permissions.
