LeanIX AI Assistant (Beta Program)

With LeanIX AI Assistant, LeanIX applies the power of generative AI to enterprise architecture data. By automating tedious documentation tasks, accelerating data usage, and speeding up research, LeanIX AI Assistant transforms the way organizations interact with information. Leveraging a large language model, LeanIX AI Assistant unlocks tangible benefits that help businesses gain a competitive edge.

The initial use cases for generative AI in enterprise architecture are already intriguing, but we are only scratching the surface. In a beta program, LeanIX AI Assistant allows admins to explore the power of large language models flexibly and securely.

The LeanIX AI Assistant beta comes with predefined requests that can be applied to the EA inventory, while admins can make custom requests on their EA data. LeanIX AI Assistant is powered by dedicated GPT models hosted on Microsoft Azure, ensuring the security and confidentiality of enterprise architecture data.
