Network to Code, a U.S.-based network automation firm, has launched NautobotGPT, an AI-powered assistant aimed at helping enterprise network engineers create, test, and troubleshoot automation tasks more efficiently.
The tool integrates with Nautobot, the company's open-source Network Source of Truth and Automation Platform, and supports both low-code and full-code workflows. According to the company, NautobotGPT uses natural language processing to translate user queries into executable automation tasks, reducing development and debugging time from hours to minutes.
"Many teams are experimenting with AI, but few have embedded it directly into real-world automation workflows," said Jason Edelman, Founder and CTO at Network to Code, in a statement. "NautobotGPT is built to close that gap."
The assistant was designed to act as an on-demand expert for network engineers. It enables users to generate and troubleshoot Nautobot Jobs without needing to write Python code and provides step-by-step guidance on resolving errors. According to the company, the system leverages proprietary insights from Nautobot to support automation design and implementation across various enterprise environments.
In a testimonial, Matthew Schwen, Associate Director of Network Automation Engineering at Humana, said, "NautobotGPT delivers on expectations. We're already using it to validate data and generate reports far faster than manual methods." Schwen added that his team plans to extend its use to streamline device onboarding and integrate with ServiceNow.
According to Network to Code, NautobotGPT also helps close the skills gap for less experienced users by explaining concepts such as data models and architectural choices. By enabling faster validation, reporting, and development, the company says the assistant can help teams meet executive expectations around progress in automation initiatives within tight timelines.
