AI Assistant

Yes. The AI Assistant is free to use and doesn’t need an account or sign-up.

Questions about Linux and system administration, Windows, DevOps and CI/CD, Kubernetes and containers, cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure, networking, security, and scripting or automation. You can also ask it to find SysOpsTechnix articles on a topic. Questions outside IT and technology are politely declined.

The assistant first searches the SysOpsTechnix articles. When an article covers your question, the answer is based on it and links to it, so you can read the full step-by-step guide. For other tech questions, it answers with an AI model from OpenAI that is set up to focus on IT topics.

No. AI answers can be incomplete, outdated or wrong. Always verify important information and test commands or configuration changes in a non-production environment first.

We don’t store your conversations on our server. Your chat is kept only in your browser tab and is cleared when you close it. Questions are sent to OpenAI to generate a reply, and OpenAI may keep them for up to 30 days to monitor for abuse; they are not used to train OpenAI models by default. If you rate an answer, we only count anonymous daily totals. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Yes. To keep the assistant free, fast and fair for everyone, you can ask up to 15 questions per hour and 50 per day. Repeated common questions that are answered from the cache don’t count.
