Introduction

Inishi Documentation

Welcome to the Inishi documentation. Inishi is an AI-powered network automation platform designed for MSPs and IT teams managing multi-vendor environments.

What is Inishi?

Inishi is a multi-vendor network automation tool that uses AI to diagnose issues, show you the exact CLI commands it wants to run, and wait for your approval. Unlike traditional automation tools like Ansible that require playbooks and scripting knowledge, Inishi lets you ask questions in plain English.

Key Features

  • AI-Powered Diagnostics — Ask questions like "Why is BGP flapping?" and get real answers, not documentation links
  • Command Preview — See every CLI command before it runs on your devices
  • Multi-Vendor Support — Works with Cisco IOS/IOS-XE, NX-OS, Arista EOS, and Juniper Junos
  • Complete Audit Trail — Every command logged for compliance
  • One-Click Rollback — Automatic rollback if validation fails

  1. Ask a question in natural language (e.g., "Show me the interfaces on router-01")
  2. AI investigates using read-only show commands — no changes to your devices
  3. Review the commands Inishi wants to run before anything executes
  4. Approve or reject — you're always in control
  5. Full audit trail — every action logged for compliance
