Overview#

AI provides generative AI capabilities inside Critical Manufacturing MES. You can use these features to ask questions about entity-related content, generate summaries, and compare different versions of the same entity or document.

The main AI actions are:

• AI - start a conversation with an available AI Agent.
• Ask AI - ask questions about the selected entity, document, or attachment.
• Compare - compare two versions of the same entity or document.
• View Summary - generate a summary of the selected document or attachment.

This section is organized as follows:

• Supported Sources - explains what content AI can use as input.
• Azure OpenAI - explains how to prepare the Azure AI Foundry side of the integration.
