Red Hat offers a family of generative AI assistants called Red Hat Lightspeed — integrated into RHEL 10, Red Hat OpenShift, and Red Hat Developer Hub — that answer natural language questions, help troubleshoot system issues, and recommend software packages for IT administrators and developers.
Details
Red Hat OpenShift Lightspeed is a generative AI-based virtual assistant embedded in the OpenShift web console; it accepts user questions and YAML files as input and produces step-by-step troubleshooting guidance, referencing product documentation. The RHEL Lightspeed command-line assistant, available as an optional feature in RHEL 9.6 and 10, draws on Red Hat's documentation and Knowledgebase to answer Linux questions from the command line. Red Hat Developer Lightspeed for Red Hat Developer Hub provides a chat-based assistant for non-coding developer tasks such as drafting documentation, generating test plans, and exploring application design. OpenShift Lightspeed requires a supported LLM provider (IBM WatsonX, OpenAI, or Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service) and OpenShift 4.15 or later.
