AI Support (Depi)

Get instant help with Depi, the artificial intelligence assistant integrated into your panel. Depi knows your application, your server status, and can execute actions to resolve issues.

Accessing AI Support​

  1. Go to your deployment page
  2. Find the "AI Support" card in the sidebar
  3. Click to expand the chat

You can also open the chat in full screen by clicking the expand icon.

Why It's Special​

Unlike other chatbots, Depi:

  • Knows your app - Knows if you have WordPress, n8n, Ghost, etc.
  • Sees server status - Can view CPU, memory, disk in real time
  • Executes actions - Can restart containers, install plugins, etc.
  • Learns from your feedback - Improves with each interaction

What It Can Do​

Answer Questions​

  • "How do I restart my application?"
  • "Why is CPU usage high?"
  • "How do I connect a custom domain?"

Diagnose Problems​

  • Analyzes your server metrics
  • Suggests solutions based on logs
  • Identifies incorrect configurations

Guide You Step by Step​

  • Configure SMTP for emails
  • Connect external APIs
  • Optimize performance

Execute Actions​

The assistant can execute actions directly or suggest actions to you:

Actions by app:

  • WordPress: Install/activate plugins and themes
  • n8n: Activate/deactivate workflows
  • Ghost: Activate themes
  • Odoo: Install/update modules
  • General: Restart containers, create backups

Panel actions:

  • Open Docker logs
  • Open the file manager
  • View relevant documentation

You'll see action buttons you can click to execute. Actions require your confirmation before executing.

How to Use It​

Asking Good Questions​

Good:

"My n8n is taking too long to execute workflows. CPU is at 90%. What can I do?"

Less useful:

"It doesn't work"

Providing Context​

The assistant already knows:

  • Your application (n8n, NocoDB, etc.)
  • Current deployment status
  • Server metrics

But it helps if you give more context:

  • What were you doing when the problem occurred?
  • How long has this been happening?
  • Is there a specific error?

Following the Conversation​

You can ask follow-up questions:

User: How do I restart n8n?

AI: You can restart it from the terminal with docker compose restart...

User: Does that delete my workflows?

AI: No, workflows are stored in the database...

Quick Suggestions​

Below the chat you'll see predefined suggestions based on your situation:

  • "How do I get started?" - If you just created the deployment
  • "View metrics" - To understand the server status
  • "Configure domain" - If you're still using the default subdomain
  • "View logs" - If something isn't working well

Assistant Actions​

When the assistant suggests an action, you'll see a button like:

[View Docker Logs]  [Open Terminal]

When you click:

  • The action executes automatically
  • The corresponding panel opens
  • You can return to the chat whenever you want

Giving Feedback​

Your feedback helps us improve Depi's responses. After each assistant response, you'll see two icons:

  • Thumbs up - The response was helpful and accurate
  • Thumbs down - The response was not helpful or incorrect

How It Works​

  1. After receiving a response, click the appropriate thumb
  2. The icon will change color to confirm your selection
  3. Your feedback is sent anonymously
  4. We use this feedback to improve future responses

Why It's Important​

  • Improves responses - Depi learns from your ratings
  • Identifies problems - Helps us detect incorrect responses
  • Prioritizes improvements - We focus efforts where most needed

You can only give one feedback per response. If you change your mind, click the other thumb to change your rating.

Limitations​

The assistant CANNOT:

  • Access sensitive data from your application
  • Execute commands that modify data automatically
  • Connect to external services
  • See the content of your workflows/databases

The assistant CAN:

  • View general metrics (CPU, RAM, disk)
  • Know the deployment status
  • Suggest commands for you to execute
  • Open panel tools

Usage Examples​

Issue: Slow App​

User: My n8n has been very slow lately

AI: I see that your CPU is at 85% and memory at 92%.
    This indicates your server is overloaded.

    Options:
    1. Optimize heavy workflows
    2. Clean old executions
    3. Consider upgrading to Advanced plan

    Would you like me to show you how to clean executions?

Issue: Specific Error​

User: I have an "ECONNREFUSED" error in my workflow

AI: This error means n8n cannot connect
    to an external service. Possible causes:

    1. The destination service is down
    2. The URL is incorrect
    3. A firewall is blocking

    Can you tell me which service you're trying to connect to?

Configuration​

User: How do I configure email sending?

AI: To send emails from n8n you need to configure SMTP.

    1. Go to Settings > SMTP
    2. Enter your provider's details:
       - Host: smtp.gmail.com (for Gmail)
       - Port: 587
       - User: your email
       - Password: app password

Tips​

  1. Be specific: The more details you give, the better the help will be
  2. Use the suggestions: Action buttons are faster than typing
  3. Ask follow-up questions: If something wasn't clear, ask more
  4. Report issues: If the assistant doesn't help, use human support

Human Support​

For complex or urgent issues that AI cannot resolve:

  • Basic Plan: Community support
  • Advanced Plan: Email support
  • Pro Plan: Priority support + SLA
