Active now in my dashboard - perhaps it's active in your dashboard now too? 😎

No and I want it !

It's an early opt-in. Looks...interesting...

Very exciting to see the AI Assistant starting to show up in the wild 😀

If anyone wants to know more about the tool and how to opt-in, take a look at our knowledge-base article.

As with any AI, feedback on the answers it provides is essential to help it improve, so please make sure to provide details on why any response is good or bad

I can't find AI Assistant in my dashboard or even in the "early access", is it due to the "meraki.cn"?😂

According to the feature release announcement, "This initial release will be a controlled availability launch in the Americas."  The link below was the announcement a week or so ago (if interested).

Cisco AI Assistant Now Available in the Meraki Dashboard!

Oh I see, thanks

Not amazingly accurate so far. Tried one of the built in prompts to "List any firmware updates for my routers" and it is showing data from 8 years ago. Not only that its showing existing upgrades, not what is supposedly available.

The AI ​​needs to learn as the database is updated, be patient and the accuracy should gradually improve. 😉

Agreed, more so just a commentary on AI in general how it is a buzzword but still not amazingly useful (to us at least). I just tried the "Show me the Top 10 most utilized APs" and it listed them based on serial number. Who has the serial numbers memorized? The data was wrong also, I'm not sure what it was showing but it wasn't the number of connected clients to the AP listed. So then I tried "Show me the Top 10 most utilized APs by name" and it showed me the SSIDs, with "Online clients" with a seemingly random number. Not sure what it is measuring, but it wasn't the number of connected clients.

I also tried "How do I optimize/improve my current wifi?" and it just summarized some of the links in documentation. I would have expected it to analyze the data in the dashboard to show something like "devices connecting to this AP frequently reconnect, perhaps that area needs additional coverage" or "this AP has been jammed on 2.4 ghz for the past week, try adjusting the power".

These are just some basic built in things that don't seem to have been tested at all. I would have liked Cisco to do some internal testing before releasing this, as right now it doesn't really highlight any benefits.

Been trying different searches but I continually receive "I am unable to retrieve the <what I am requesting information on> due to a permissions issue related to the client IP address. Therefore, I cannot provide the <subject> details at this time. ..., please check the Meraki Dashboard directly.
