Depending on the OS it is running on, it switches to one of these specific knowldedge bodies:
Depending on the topic which is being discussed, it activates knowledge about:
1. Dialogue history (session context):
Automatically managed. Keeps the current conversation coherent, even across shell sessions.
3. Background context (environment facts):
User managed. Stable environment facts and constraints to avoid re-discovery (paths, service names, distro, conventions, policies).
2. Topic context (task-scoped context):
User managed. Current task focus across many steps.
4. Long-term context (persisted learnings):
Automatically managed. Saves durable notes that remain useful later (e.g., "this host uses nftables").
Each memorization is announced and memory can be cleared at any time.
Samples:
Background: "logs shipped to journald only, not in /var/log" or "app lives in /opt/acme/app/current"
Topic: "This incident is about: 502 error on nebula-three after last deploy."
Result: next command suggestions use the correct paths/services immediately
All context information is stored locally and can be inspected and cleared at any time.
Describe tasks in everyday language directly in your shell. Admin Companion proposes commands and explains them - execution only after explicit confirmation.
No unattended execution. Every command passes through an isolated security layer in the client and require your explicit confirmation.
Generate custom shell scripts tailored to your system environment. Whether user management, service control, or recurring tasks: you save time, reduce errors, and receive clean, documented code you can adapt at any time.
Admin Companion helps identify root causes and proposes fixes step by step. You review and confirm each command before it runs.
Detect faulty settings and get suggested corrections you can review and apply - efficiently and traceably.
Let Admin Companion analyze system logs in a targeted way and generate statistics quickly. Relevant patterns are recognized immediately, allowing direct response and actionable insights.
Admin Companion integrates directly with the CLI, enabling seamless interaction without manual copy&paste with external chat applications. This minimizes response times, enhances efficiency, and streamlines troubleshooting.
Admin Companion currently is available for systems based on Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, Fedora, and FreeBSD.
So for example: Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Kali Linux, CentOS, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, Raspberry PI OS, Fedora, and others.
Admin Companion analyzes your setup, diagnoses the root cause, and proposes verified fixes — step by step.
