The AI Assistant is an LLM-powered chatbot that is designed to help you with a wide range of topics. Be aware that LLMs can provide inaccurate information, which can affect this feature. Due diligence is recommended.

You must configure the application to be able to use your LLM provider account in the LLM Provider preferences before you can use the AI Assistant. OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and other LLM providers with similar functionality are supported. See LLM Provider preferences to determine whether your LLM provider can be used.

Accessing the AI Assistant

The AI Assistant is available as a view in the interface. It is enabled by default in the SOAtest perspective and Virtualize perspective. If the AI Assistant view is not visible, you can open it by going to Parasoft > Show View > AI Assistant. As with any view, you can drag and drop the AI Assistant tab around the UI to place it where it is most convenient for you.

Using the AI Assistant

The AI Assistant has a simple call-and-response interface: enter your question in the query panel and click Run and the AI Assistant will do its best to provide an answer for you. You can also press ENTER to submit your question; press SHIFT+ENTER to start a new line in the query panel.

The first time you use the AI Assistant, it may need to build its knowledge base. This can take several minutes.

After you have asked a question, the Run button will become a Stop button. If you have received enough information or you want to change the conversation, you can end the response process by clicking it. 

Continued interaction with the AI Assistant, in effect, forms a conversation and subsequent questions are treated as being related to those that came before. This can influence the answers that are provided. You can start a new conversation by clicking Clear.
