AI Assistant Deprecated
Blog post from Octopus Deploy
Octopus has deprecated its AI Assistant, which previously offered a chat-based portal interface for best-practice suggestions, deployment and runbook troubleshooting, prompt-created sample projects, and instance configuration questions. The Chrome extension supporting the assistant is no longer available to new users, while existing users receive a deprecation notice. Octopus recommends migrating to its MCP interface, particularly the remote MCP option, for continued AI capabilities, including creating Kubernetes projects from prompts, generating dashboards and visualizations, and incorporating best-practices documentation into AI client workflows. Users can also add AI functionality to deployment processes and runbooks through the Claude Agent Step, which automates the Claude Code CLI and can interact with the Octopus MCP interface.
