Bot Commands & Examples
Complete guide to chatting with Ohlala SmartOps in Microsoft Teams. Learn natural language patterns, see example conversations, and understand how the AI responds to your infrastructure questions.
💡 Important: AI Response Variability
SmartOps uses AI to understand your requests, which means responses may vary slightly between similar questions. This natural variation makes conversations more intuitive, but our approval system ensures safety - any potentially dangerous operations require explicit confirmation before execution.🤖 Command Overview
SmartOps understands both natural language and specific commands. You can interact in three ways:
- Natural Language: “Show me instances that are running high on CPU”
- Direct Commands: “list instances”, “health report”
- Contextual Queries: Follow-up questions based on previous responses
🛡️ Safety Through Approval System
🔒 Security Spotlight: Approval Mechanism
SmartOps protects your infrastructure through a simple approval system:
- Safe Exploration: Ask any questions about your infrastructure
- Clear Explanations: The AI explains what each action will do before asking for approval
- Simple Confirmation: Just type ‘yes’ when you want to proceed with a command
- Complete Audit Trail: Every action is logged with user identity, timestamp, and results
This means you can safely explore and ask questions - the AI will only execute commands when you explicitly approve them.
