What is VersaGPT?

VersaGPT is a generative AI-powered tool that provides access to documentation and knowledge base articles about Versa Networks technology and the Versa Director and Concerto products. It offers guided experiences, how-to guides, configuration information, and recommendations, and can redirect a user to the relevant settings in the management console.

Key takeaways

• VersaGPT answers configuration questions with guided, step-by-step instructions.
• It is embedded inside Verbo on both Director and Concerto nodes.
• It also powers search on the Versa Networks website (versa-networks.com).
• Inside Verbo’s architecture, VersaGPT is the conversational-AI component.
• Responses link to the relevant Versa documentation and console screens.

Why is VersaGPT important?

A platform as broad as VersaONE has a documentation problem baked in: any given configuration question – how to set up SNMP, how to troubleshoot a branch connectivity issue, how to find the right screen for a given task – could be answered by a manual, a knowledge base article, or a support case, and finding the right one by hand takes time an administrator would rather spend on the task itself. VersaGPT exists to close that gap: instead of searching documentation, a user asks a question in plain language and gets guided steps back, along with a direct link to the screen where those steps happen.

That matters most at the moment of actually doing the work. Because VersaGPT is embedded directly in Verbo inside Director and Concerto, the answer arrives inside the same console the user is already configuring – not in a separate browser tab or a search result that has to be cross-referenced against the current release. The same capability reaches prospective users earlier, too: VersaGPT also powers the search engine on the Versa Networks website, so the same guided, generative-AI answers are available before a customer ever logs into a Versa console.

What is VersaGPT?

VersaGPT is a generative AI-powered tool that provides access to documentation and knowledge base articles about Versa Networks technology and the Versa Director and Concerto products. Ask it a configuration question – the documented example is “How do I configure SNMP?” – and it responds with the steps to complete the task, along with links to open the relevant Versa documentation and configuration screens directly in Director or Concerto.

Beyond direct how-to answers, VersaGPT offers guided experiences, recommendations, and other contextual information, and can suggest solutions and provide step-by-step troubleshooting guidance rather than just pointing to a document. For it to function inside Director, the browser running the Director UI needs network access to the APIs VersaGPT depends on, since query understanding and response generation happen against a remote service rather than entirely inside the console.

VersaGPT inside Verbo

VersaGPT is one of three components the Verbo core engine can dispatch a query to. When a user submits a question through the Verbo UI in Director or Concerto, a backend service sends the request to Verbo’s core engine, where a router decides which component should handle it: TroubleShooter diagnoses and resolves operational issues, VersaGPT provides conversational AI capabilities – the documentation and how-to answers described above – and ToolCaller executes specific actions against Director, Concerto, and other services through Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors. This split keeps AI reasoning, the conversational interface, and system integrations as distinct concerns inside one chatbot experience, with VersaGPT specifically responsible for the knowledge and guidance side of that experience.

VersaGPT & the VersaONE platform

VersaGPT sits inside Verbo, the chatbot assistant embedded across the Director, Analytics, and Concerto GUIs, and it inherits Verbo’s session model – the same role-based access control (RBAC) that governs the rest of Director applies to what a user can see and do through VersaGPT as well. Verbo’s chatbot connector settings, configured under Administration in Director, determine how the console reaches the backend services VersaGPT and its sibling components depend on, including which version of the API is in use and how authentication is handled.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between VersaGPT and Verbo?

Verbo is the overall chatbot assistant embedded in Director, Analytics, and Concerto. VersaGPT is one component inside Verbo’s architecture – specifically the one that provides conversational AI, documentation lookup, and guided how-to answers, alongside the separate TroubleShooter and ToolCaller components that handle diagnostics and actions.

Where can I use VersaGPT?

Inside Verbo on Versa Director and Concerto nodes, and separately, embedded in the search engine on the Versa Networks website (versa-networks.com) – so the same generative-AI guidance is available both inside a live console and while researching Versa products beforehand.

What kind of questions can I ask VersaGPT?

Configuration and how-to questions about Versa Networks technology, Director, and Concerto – for example, “How do I configure SNMP?” VersaGPT responds with guided steps and links to the relevant documentation and configuration screens for the task, rather than a generic search result.

Does VersaGPT just link to documents, or does it walk me through steps?

Both. VersaGPT offers guided experiences, how-to guides, and recommendations, and can suggest solutions and provide step-by-step troubleshooting guidance directly, in addition to linking out to the relevant Versa documentation and console screens for a user who wants to read further.

Does VersaGPT require an internet connection?

Yes. VersaGPT depends on remote APIs reachable from the browser running the Director or Concerto UI; if that browser cannot reach those services, VersaGPT cannot process queries or generate responses, the same requirement that applies to the rest of Verbo.
