Abstract: Here is artificially intelligent (AI) operations (AIOperon) by a user-facing network element to remedy an operational deficiency of a remote network element in a distributed system such as a data center or a computing cloud. The user-facing network element receives a deficiency text string that indicates an operational deficiency of the remote network element. Based on the deficiency text string and retrieval augmented generation (RAG), a few highly semantically relevant standard operating procedure specifications are contextually selected, and each contains multiple natural language sentences and a few computer commands. A large language model (LLM) processes a linguistic prompt that contains the deficiency text string and the selected standard operating procedure specifications. From the linguistic prompt, the LLM inferentially generates a computer script that contains an inferred sequence of computer commands.
