Troubleshoot servers faster with AI-assisted SSH diagnostics
Run commands, analyze output, and get actionable suggestions — all in one desktop app.
⚡ Desktop tool for real-world troubleshooting workflows
AI-powered desktop tool for SSH troubleshooting and system diagnostics.
Admin Assistant helps sysadmins and DevOps engineers connect to Linux hosts, run commands safely, inspect output in a structured console, and use AI to explain problems in plain language.
It combines SSH execution, reusable scripts, incident investigation, and approval-based AI suggestions in one Windows desktop app built for real troubleshooting workflows.
Install and start troubleshooting in minutes.
Troubleshooting over SSH is often:
- slow and repetitive
- full of copy-paste between terminal and browser
- hard to explain to others
Admin Assistant combines execution, context, and AI analysis in one place — so you can diagnose issues faster and with more confidence.
- System administrators
- DevOps engineers
- Anyone working with Linux over SSH
Main workspace where you connect to servers, run commands, and see AI analysis side by side.
Incident Mode helps you investigate real server problems by collecting safe diagnostics and turning them into readable evidence-based analysis.
AI-suggested follow-up actions stay understandable, reviewable, and approval-based before anything is executed.
Add SSH hosts quickly with password or key authentication while keeping credentials out of plaintext storage.
Configure OpenAI, Ollama, or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint without leaving the desktop app.

Admin Assistant is built to help with troubleshooting without turning AI into an autonomous operator.
- The app does not execute dangerous AI-generated commands automatically.
- Suggested actions must be reviewed and explicitly approved by the user.
- Incident Mode auto-runs only finite, read-only diagnostic commands.
- Unsafe or inappropriate commands are filtered, including nested
sshcommands and risky actions such as restartingsshd. - Command output is treated as operational data and should be reviewed carefully before sending it to external AI providers.
Windows SmartScreen may show a warning because the app is not code-signed yet.
