AI operations assistant

Ask the operation. Inspect the answer. Stage the next safe action.

When enabled for a deployment, the assistant receives the current page, role, tenant, selected object, and conversation context. Typed XMS tools provide live operational answers and governed actions.

What it can do

From live question to operational evidence.

Tool access follows the signed-in user's role, tenant, module, and current backend capabilities.

QUERY

Read current WMS and TMS state

Search orders, purchase orders, shipments, stock, workbench objects, timelines, dependencies, receipts, reports, and operational artifacts through typed filters.

EXPLAIN

Explain the current page and exception

Use the active route, selected object, role, and remembered thread to explain status, ownership, blockers, safe actions, and supporting evidence.

COMPARE

Compare workflow strategies

Resolve execution strategies, compare live and shadow lanes, inspect traceability and economic impact, and read simulation, replay, decision, approval, and deviation records.

PREPARE

Stage governed work

Prepare handoff drafts, approval requests, setup drafts, contest requests, task capsules, reports, and switch proposals without bypassing host review or backend authorization.

ANALYZE

Work with files and images

Read CSV, JSON, text, and Markdown excerpts; analyze uploaded images and PDFs; then keep document analysis separate from live backend mutations.

CONVERSE

Type, speak, listen, and continue

Use typed chat, push-to-talk transcription, full-duplex live voice, spoken replies, follow-up chips, durable threads, and cross-device conversation memory where supported.

Grounded by the current workspace

The assistant starts with what the operator is looking at.

Host context carries route, role, tenant, warehouse, selected entity, workflow identifiers, and allowed host actions into the assistant. Follow-up questions reuse the last resolved object and tool evidence.

Workflow and setup copilots

Reason over the workflow before changing it.

Read paths are available directly. Write-looking work is staged as a governed draft or action and remains subject to policy, state, and approval.

WORKFLOW

Strategy, simulation, and replay

Summarize definitions, compare strategies, inspect execution twins and shadow lanes, read simulation artifacts, and follow switchpoint readiness.

SETUP

Access and configuration guidance

Explain effective module visibility and role experience, preview scope, diagnose manifest mismatch, and prepare setup drafts from backend-owned rules.

WORKBENCH

Object story and dependencies

Resolve an object's summary, timeline, dependencies, canonical receipts, handoffs, contests, and task capsules from the current workspace.

Safety and authority

The assistant cannot grant itself permission.

Authentication, authorization, lifecycle state, tenant scope, and final action execution remain owned by XMS Cloud and the host application.

ROLE + TENANT

Only permitted tools appear

The current user and tenant determine the available queries, drafts, and host actions.

APPROVAL

Mutations stage before execution

Actions enter the ledger with review status, approval, execution result, receipt, and artifact links.

QUARANTINE

Prompt injection loses write access

Suspicious prompts are contained before provider or tool exposure, and hostile tool results are screened before display.

TOKEN BOUNDARY

No raw WMS token reaches the model provider

The same-origin assistant gateway and provider adapter keep WMS credentials outside the browser-to-model request.

Operational boundaries

Unavailable tools stay unavailable.

If the provider, agent route, backend capability, or host action is unavailable, the assistant reports that boundary instead of fabricating an answer or action.

ENABLEMENT

Deployment opt-in

The sidecar URL, provider adapter, feature flag, and eligible role must be enabled before the assistant appears.

LIVE DATA

Sign-in required

Live operational queries and conversation history require an authenticated XMS Cloud session.

WRITE PATH

State-aware and approval-gated

Setup drafts stay read-first, and unsupported direct activation or publish requests remain blocked.

COST

Bounded model use

Per-day and per-conversation token budgets, model tiering, and admin health keep provider use observable.

Use the assistant in context

Open a workflow, order, shipment, or setup page and ask from there.

The assistant inherits the current operational context so the first answer starts from the object and role already on screen.
