Network to Code Launches NautobotGPT: AI-Powered Co-Pilot for Network Engineers to Accelerate Automation
NautobotGPT Provides the Fastest Path from Network Idea to Automation - Reducing Testing, Creation and Troubleshooting Tasks from Hours to Minutes NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2025 / Network to Code, the global leader in network automation, today announced the launch of NautobotGPT, the first and only AI assistant built for network teams using its open source Network Source of Truth and Automation Platform, Nautobot. Designed for network engineers to accelerate automation workflows, NautobotGPT brings the agility and speed of low-code, the depth of full-code, and AI intelligence to every phase of network automation to make it more accessible, reliable and scalable. As the industry continues to evolve around AI, NautobotGPT removes the friction from building and scaling enterprise-class network automation-from core concepts to advanced customization. It acts as an on-demand expert for everything Nautobot, turning questions into Nautobot Jobs, and errors into actionable solutions all through natural language. With NautobotGPT, teams can ask questions to: 'Many teams are experimenting with AI, but few have embedded it directly into real-world automation workflows. NautobotGPT is built to close that gap,' said Jason Edelman, Founder & CTO, Network to Code. 'NautobotGPT brings AI to the front lines of network engineering. We are empowering engineers of all skill levels to break down the barriers that slow teams down-steep learning curves, large amounts of dedicated time, fragmented documentation, and limited Python expertise across teams-to make automation faster, smarter, and more accessible.' Often, small groups with specialized skills manage the whole network automation process in an enterprise. By explaining Jobs, errors, data models, and architectural choices, NautobotGPT helps novice users create value and supports skill development alongside productivity gains. It also speeds innovation from engineers that have ideas but historically haven't had the cycles to execute them through traditional development efforts. What used to take 10-20 hours of Python development to ideate, test and create can now be done in 10-20 minutes. Similarly, troubleshooting automation errors that took hours can now be done in minutes. Even non-technical users can now query NautobotGPT to quickly pull network data and reports without tying up network engineers. 'Building a full Network Source of Truth can take months, but leaders expect visible progress within 30 to 60 days,' said Matthew Schwen, Associate Director of Network Automation Engineering, Humana. 'NautobotGPT delivers on those expectations. We're already using it to validate data and generate reports far faster than manual methods, and we plan to use it to streamline device onboarding and integrate with ServiceNow soon. It's changing how we deliver services, helping engineers move from idea to implementation faster. NautobotGPT amplifies expertise, reduces rework, and drives more confident, informed decisions across the team.'

Network to Code Kicks Off 2025 with Significant Software Innovations Across Nautobot Ecosystem
Accelerating Network Automation: Nautobot 2.4 Core Updates, Expanded App Ecosystem, and AI-Powered Tools Propel 2025 Forward NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 5, 2025 / Network to Code, the global leader in Network Automation solutions, launches 2025 with a significant number of new innovations. Anchored by the release of Nautobot 2.4, the Nautobot ecosystem sees major advancements, including its first AI-powered solution, several new data integrations with Cisco, and expanded app capabilities designed to meet the dynamic demands of enterprise networks. 'With Nautobot 2.4 and the rest of the announced software, we're continuing to deliver the foundation for holistic network automation solutions,' said Jason Edelman, Founder and CTO of Network to Code. 'With these advancements across our app ecosystem, we continue to deliver the tools required for enterprises to transform and scale their networks with confidence. From real-time automation triggers to AI-driven insights, these innovations set the stage for new data- and design-driven approaches to automation in 2025.' Nautobot 2.4 Core Innovations: Enabling Enterprise-Grade Automation Nautobot 2.4 introduces significant enhancements tailored to enterprise network automation, including: Event Publication Framework: Real-time event notifications that integrate with enterprise message bus systems to trigger automation seamlessly as events occur. Kubernetes Job Execution: Using Kubernetes Job pods, this feature is designed for distributed and scalable infrastructures and empowers organizations to execute complex workflows seamlessly in modern cloud architectures. Wireless Networking Models: Advanced wireless data models for WLAN management built for large-scale Enterprise deployments. Featuring complete SSID inventory and configurations, APs grouped by controllers, and radio profile management. Virtual Device Contexts (VDCs): Support for multi-tenant environments, enabling logical partitioning of physical devices for more flexible network designs and automation. Expanded App Ecosystem The Nautobot App ecosystem expands, with impactful updates that enhance data management, network automation, and observability capabilities. SSoT Growth: The Single Source of Truth (SSoT) app is significantly enhanced with new integrations, including Citrix ADM, Cisco DNA Center, Itential, Cisco Meraki, Slurp'it, Bootstrap, LibreNMS, and SolarWinds Orion. These additions enable more out of the box automations and strengthen its role as the hub for network data integration. Design Builder App: The Design Builder app, which manages holistic network designs and data, now incorporates lifecycle management for data. Users can version and lock down designs ensuring changes are made at a design-level vs. device or object-level. Floorplan App: Usability upgrades, including customizable grid labeling, nested floor plans, tenant group visualizations, and visual enhancements for better navigation. NetObs: The NetObs app aids network observability solutions by enhancing and enriching observability metrics with Nautobot data, providing rich contextual information to create more useful graphs and context aware alerts. It also streamlines the creation of numerous Telegraf configurations, enabling efficient data collection from various devices. DNS Models: Nautobot's IPAM capabilities now include DNS models for tracking DNS Zones and a comprehensive range of record types, enabling automated DNS policy and a centralized system for managing DNS configurations. AI-Driven Tools and Q2 Developments The future is bright for network automation in 2025, with additional product launches coming later in Q1 and early Q2.
