Say Hello to NetBox Copilot!

Today, we’re announcing NetBox Copilot, our AI assistant for every NetBox to explore, understand, and act on your NetBox data. NetBox Copilot will be available for Public Preview in the next couple weeks. We’ll be opening up access gradually based on our waitlist, which is online now: sign up today!

NetBox Copilot will feel familiar to anyone who has used other modern AI copilots. Copilot is an agent that embeds directly in your NetBox, is lightweight and intuitive, and is driven directly by your natural language interactions. It has access to the data in NetBox and is an expert in navigating the NetBox data model to answer questions and plot courses of action. Copilot shares your access and permissions via your session, so it has the same view into NetBox data you do. It’s adaptive: Copilot learns about your NetBox and its data models, and works with data models from plugins you’ve installed – not just the core NetBox models.

Use Cases for NetBox Copilot

Some of our favorite use cases for NetBox Copilot:

Asking quick questions about your infrastructure: “How many ports are available in Akron?”
Meeting needs of other teams: “Give me a quick CSV of all devices in Syracuse with management IPs for a security audit”
Marrying “how to” with your data: “How do config contexts work? Give me an example for setting DNS servers in Camden” – NetBox Copilot has direct access to the latest NetBox docs and can use them to answer questions
Drafting code: “Give me a quick python script that uses the API to create a new site like Buffalo but in Trenton”
Having fun: “Write me a haiku about the MDF site”

How NetBox Copilot Works

NetBox Copilot is a cloud service and is based on the Nitro AI platform, built at NetBox Labs to enable delivery of agentic AI products and features across the NetBox stack. As a result, Copilot is always improving as we refine our cloud based platform. While your interactions with Copilot leverage our cloud LLMs, the underlying AI models that power Copilot are never trained on your data.

NetBox Copilot works with any NetBox, as long as your browser has internet access. There are no plugins to install – just a simple Javascript embed. And if you’re using NetBox Cloud, our team can enable Copilot for you quickly.

While NetBox Copilot is in Public Preview, we’ll support only limited usage. When Copilot moves to GA later this summer, we’ll continue to provide a generous free plan so everyone can use Copilot, and you’ll have the ability to purchase credits if you’re a heavy user. NetBox Copilot is a “read only” product today – it cannot make any changes to your NetBox data and is safe to use with any NetBox. At GA, NetBox Cloud and NetBox Enterprise customers will have the ability to change NetBox data through Copilot, with “human in the loop” approvals for safety. We also have plans to support bulk operations, team analytics and management features, and private Copilot deployments for Enterprise-tier customers.
