TestRelicAI Assistant
Use the floating AI assistant panel for contextual help anywhere in the platform without leaving your current view.
The AI Assistant is a floating panel that provides contextual AI help from anywhere in the TestRelic platform. Unlike the full Ask AI page, the assistant panel slides in over your current view — you do not lose your place while getting AI assistance.
Growth plan required
The AI Assistant requires the Growth plan. See the Cloud Platform section for plan details.
Opening the assistant
Click the AI Assistant button in the left navigation sidebar (the robot/sparkle icon). The panel slides in from the right, overlaying the current page without navigating away.
How it differs from Ask AI
| Feature | AI Assistant (Panel) | Ask AI (Page) |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Overlay panel — stays on your current page | Full-page view at /ai |
| Context | Automatically includes page context | You manually attach context with @ mentions |
| Conversation history | Separate panel conversations | Saved to the full conversation history |
| Artifact rendering | Inline artifacts in the panel | Full artifact panel alongside chat |
| Best for | Quick questions while reviewing a test | Deep analysis, report generation, test planning |
Page context
The AI Assistant automatically receives context about the page you are currently on. For example:
- On the Test Runs dashboard, the assistant knows you are looking at run data.
- On a Repository Detail page, the assistant knows the repo name and recent health metrics.
- On a Test Case Detail page, the assistant knows the test name, status, and error message.
This means you can ask questions like:
- "Why did this test fail?" (while on a failed test case detail)
- "What is the trend for this repository?" (while on a repo detail page)
without needing to manually specify what you are asking about.
Capabilities
The assistant supports the same AI capabilities as Ask AI:
- Answering questions about your test data
- Explaining failure patterns
- Suggesting next steps for debugging
- Generating code snippets
- Producing structured artifacts
Closing the assistant
Click the X button in the assistant panel header, or click anywhere outside the panel, to close it. Your current page remains exactly as you left it.
Ask AI
Use the full-page Ask AI chat to get answers about your test suite, generate reports, plan test coverage, and create structured artifacts using natural language.
Memory
Memory is a persistent, per-repository knowledge base of test decisions, insights, maintenance TODOs, and constraints — auto-saved from Ask AI and read by the team and your AI agents.
