Description
This project is meant to fight the loneliness of the support team members, providing them an AI assistant (hopefully) capable of scraping supportconfigs in a RAG fashion, trying to answer specific questions.
Goals
- Setup an Ollama backend, spinning one (or more??) code-focused LLMs selected by license, performance and quality of the results between:
- deepseek-coder-v2
- dolphin-mistral
- starcoder2
- (...others??)
- Setup a Web UI for it, choosing an easily extensible and customizable option between:
- Extend the solution in order to be able to:
- Add ZIU/Concord shared folders to its RAG context
- Add BZ cases, splitted in comments to its RAG context
- A plus would be to login using the IDP portal to ghostwrAIter itself and use the same credentials to query BZ
- Add specific packages picking them from IBS repos
- A plus would be to login using the IDP portal to ghostwrAIter itself and use the same credentials to query IBS
- A plus would be to desume the packages of interest and the right channel and version to be picked from the added BZ cases

The project soon moved to CLI, as the skills for integrating a WEB-UI are not my cup of tea :-/
Its description and source code can be found at ghostwrAIter
I tested the listed LLMs and also the following embedding models: mxbai-embed-large, nomic-embed-text, all-minilm.
My impression is that the current state of the art for the really open-source llms and embedding models is not still mature and ready for production grade and that a big gap exists with the most well-known commercial product.
Hopefully will run a refresh for the next hackweek.

Liz - Prompt autocomplete by ftorchia
Description
Liz is the Rancher AI assistant for cluster operations.
Goals
We want to help users when sending new messages to Liz, by adding an autocomplete feature to complete their requests based on the context.
Example:
- User prompt: "Can you show me the list of p"
- Autocomplete suggestion: "Can you show me the list of p...od in local cluster?"
Example:
- User prompt: "Show me the logs of #rancher-"
- Chat console: It shows a drop-down widget, next to the # character, with the list of available pod names starting with "rancher-".
Technical Overview
- The AI agent should expose a new ws/autocomplete endpoint to proxy autocomplete messages to the LLM.
- The UI extension should be able to display prompt suggestions and allow users to apply the autocomplete to the Prompt via keyboard shortcuts.

Kubernetes-Based ML Lifecycle Automation by lmiranda
Description
This project aims to build a complete end-to-end Machine Learning pipeline running entirely on Kubernetes, using Go, and containerized ML components.
The pipeline will automate the lifecycle of a machine learning model, including:
- Data ingestion/collection
- Model training as a Kubernetes Job
- Model artifact storage in an S3-compatible registry (e.g. Minio)
- A Go-based deployment controller that automatically deploys new model versions to Kubernetes using Rancher
- A lightweight inference service that loads and serves the latest model
- Monitoring of model performance and service health through Prometheus/Grafana
The outcome is a working prototype of an MLOps workflow that demonstrates how AI workloads can be trained, versioned, deployed, and monitored using the Kubernetes ecosystem.
Goals
By the end of Hack Week, the project should:
Produce a fully functional ML pipeline running on Kubernetes with:
- Data collection job
- Training job container
- Storage and versioning of trained models
- Automated deployment of new model versions
- Model inference API service
- Basic monitoring dashboards
Showcase a Go-based deployment automation component, which scans the model registry and automatically generates & applies Kubernetes manifests for new model versions.
Enable continuous improvement by making the system modular and extensible (e.g., additional models, metrics, autoscaling, or drift detection can be added later).
Prepare a short demo explaining the end-to-end process and how new models flow through the system.

Uyuni Health-check Grafana AI Troubleshooter by ygutierrez
Description
This project explores the feasibility of using the open-source Grafana LLM plugin to enhance the Uyuni Health-check tool with LLM capabilities. The idea is to integrate a chat-based "AI Troubleshooter" directly into existing dashboards, allowing users to ask natural-language questions about errors, anomalies, or performance issues.
Goals
- Investigate if and how the
grafana-llm-appplug-in can be used within the Uyuni Health-check tool. - Investigate if this plug-in can be used to query LLMs for troubleshooting scenarios.
- Evaluate support for local LLMs and external APIs through the plugin.
- Evaluate if and how the Uyuni MCP server could be integrated as another source of information.

Docs Navigator MCP: SUSE Edition by mackenzie.techdocs

Description
Docs Navigator MCP: SUSE Edition is an AI-powered documentation navigator that makes finding information across SUSE, Rancher, K3s, and RKE2 documentation effortless. Built as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, it enables semantic search, intelligent Q&A, and documentation summarization using 100% open-source AI models (no API keys required!). The project also allows you to bring your own keys from Anthropic and Open AI for parallel processing.
Goals
- [ X ] Build functional MCP server with documentation tools
- [ X ] Implement semantic search with vector embeddings
- [ X ] Create user-friendly web interface
- [ X ] Optimize indexing performance (parallel processing)
- [ X ] Add SUSE branding and polish UX
- [ X ] Stretch Goal: Add more documentation sources
- [ X ] Stretch Goal: Implement document change detection for auto-updates
Coming Soon!
- Community Feedback: Test with real users and gather improvement suggestions

Multi-agent AI assistant for Linux troubleshooting by doreilly
Description
Explore multi-agent architecture as a way to avoid MCP context rot.
Having one agent with many tools bloats the context with low-level details about tool descriptions, parameter schemas etc which hurts LLM performance. Instead have many specialised agents, each with just the tools it needs for its role. A top level supervisor agent takes the user prompt and delegates to appropriate sub-agents.
Goals
Create an AI assistant with some sub-agents that are specialists at troubleshooting Linux subsystems, e.g. systemd, selinux, firewalld etc. The agents can get information from the system by implementing their own tools with simple function calls, or use tools from MCP servers, e.g. a systemd-agent can use tools from systemd-mcp.
Example prompts/responses:
user$ the system seems slow
assistant$ process foo with pid 12345 is using 1000% cpu ...
user$ I can't connect to the apache webserver
assistant$ the firewall is blocking http ... you can open the port with firewall-cmd --add-port ...
