Assistant

The Assistant page lets you ask questions about your environment. The Vantage IQ assistant uses artificial intelligence (AI) that is connected to your Vantage instance.

The assistant lets you query your Vantage instance using natural language. It connects to your Vantage data in real time and returns results as tables, charts, or summaries depending on the query.

Chats

Each session in the assistant is a chat. The assistant saves chats automatically so you can return to them later. You can:

  • Start a new chat from the assistant page
  • View and reopen previous chats using Search chats
  • Rename a chat to make it easier to find
  • Delete a chat when it is no longer needed

The assistant generates chat titles automatically based on your first query. You can rename a chat at any time.

Response controls

Each assistant response includes three icons:

  • Copy icon copies the response text to the clipboard
  • Thumbs up icon marks the response as useful
  • Thumbs down icon marks the response as not useful

Use the thumbs up and thumbs down icons to rate responses and help improve result quality.

Follow-ups

When available, the assistant shows a set of suggested follow-up questions under Follow-ups. Select a suggested question to send it as your next query.

Data processing and privacy

Some assistant features rely on external processing of your prompts. You can disable external processing from the Features page. If you disable it, some assistant features will not be available.

When the assistant uses external processing:

  • Nozomi Networks completely anonymizes your data before sending it for processing
  • Nozomi Networks has a no-retention policy with its third-party processors. The third-party processor processes but never stores your data
Important:
Your data is never used to train any AI model, whether processing is internal or external. All models only perform processing of your data.
