How does it work?

At its core, Kentik AI Advisor is powered by sophisticated context engineering, frontier reasoning LLMs and an agentic architecture that leverages Kentik’s highly enriched network telemetry and tools.

1. Ask AI Advisor a question or state a goal.

2. AI Advisor sends a request to LLM to interpret the goal and consider what tools and data it needs to answer it.

3. AI Advisor and LLM work together to call data. AI Advisor goes back to step 2 if needed, showing its reasoning and data at each step.

4. AI Advisor provides a summary and recommendations of next steps to the user.
