AI provider integration for Loop Genie - Tech Preview

Disclaimer:

This release contains access to the AI provider configurations for Loop Genie feature in HCL DevOps Loop as a Tech Preview. The Tech Preview is intended for you to view Loop Genie's capabilities by integrating with major LLM providers such as OpenAI, IBM watsonx, and Ollama and provide your feedback to the product team. You are permitted to use the information only for evaluation purposes and not for use in a production environment. IBM provides the information without obligation of support and "as is" without warranty of any kind.

You can configure AI providers such as OpenAI, IBM watsonx, and Ollama with DevOps Loop. Configuring any one of these providers activates Loop Genie for your environment. Only one provider can be active at a time.

Loop Genie relies on external AI providers to power natural language understanding, multi-agent orchestration, and conversational task execution. By configuring an AI provider, you enable Loop Genie to process prompts, retrieve and summarize data, and perform supported actions across your DevOps Loop environment.

Loop Genie becomes available once at least one AI provider is configured and active. Switching providers immediately changes which LLM Loop Genie uses for processing prompts. All provider configurations remain saved even when disabled.

With at least one AI provider configured, Loop Genie can:

  • Interpret natural language prompts

  • Execute multi-step, multi-capability queries

  • Retrieve data such as issues, repositories, branches, and commit history

  • Perform supported automation tasks (For example: create work items, create branches, list repositories, edit files, manage pull requests)

  • Produce structured, readable output

  • Provide context-aware responses within a conversational thread.

You can manage integrations that are configured in HCL DevOps Loop by editing, deleting, enabling, or disabling them as required.
