Run playbooks, check inventory, and automate configuration - Neotask pairs AI agents with Ansible for hands-free ops.
Execute Ansible playbooks against specific hosts or groups with natural language targeting
Query inventory to find hosts by role, tag, or group without writing ad-hoc commands manually
Generate and explain Ansible tasks and playbooks from a description of what you want to accomplish
What You Can Do
Run Playbooks Conversationally
Tell Neotask to run a specific playbook against a host group, limit execution to a subset of hosts, or add extra variables - all without constructing the ansible-playbook command yourself. It confirms the targets before executing.
Query and Explore Inventory
Ask which hosts belong to a group, which hosts have a specific variable set, or what groups a particular server is in. Neotask queries your static or dynamic inventory and returns structured, readable results.
Generate Ansible Tasks on the Fly
Describe what you need - "install nginx and ensure it starts on boot" - and Neotask writes the Ansible task YAML for you, ready to paste into a playbook or role. It follows best practices like using the service module instead of shell commands.
Check Playbook Syntax and Lint
Paste a playbook or point to a file and ask Neotask to check it for syntax errors, deprecated modules, or ansible-lint violations. Get specific line-by-line feedback before running in production.
Monitor and Audit Runs
Review the output of recent playbook runs, identify which tasks failed and on which hosts, and get a plain-English summary of what changed - without parsing raw Ansible JSON output yourself.
Try Asking
"Run the deploy-app playbook against the web-servers group"
"Which hosts in the database group have the primary role set to true?"
"Generate an Ansible task to create a user named deploy with sudo access"
"Lint my site.yml playbook and tell me what needs fixing"
"Rerun the failed tasks from the last playbook execution"
"What variables are set for the host db-primary-01?"
"Run the patching playbook only on hosts tagged env=staging"
"Show me what the last run of the nginx playbook changed"
Pro Tips
Use the --check flag first by asking for a "dry run" - Neotask will add --check automatically when you ask to preview changes.
Scope playbooks to specific hosts with "only on host X" in your prompt to avoid unintended changes to the full group.
Ask Neotask to explain what a playbook does before running it if you inherited it from someone else - it will read the YAML and summarize.
Store sensitive variables in Ansible Vault and ask Neotask to reference them by variable name rather than value so secrets are never exposed in prompts.
Combine Ansible runs with notifications: ask Neotask to send a Slack message when the deploy playbook finishes successfully.
