With the latest release (10.0) of Volt MX, Volt IQ is now integrated with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), offering more accurate and context-aware responses. Volt AI is an integrated GenAI-powered capability within Volt IQ, the AI-assistant available in Volt Iris. It helps developers interactively explore documentation, generate code, and resolve queries.
Key Capabilities
- Integrated into Volt IQ: Volt AI is available as a dedicated tab in the Volt IQ window within Volt Iris, alongside existing tabs like Community and Marketplace.

- RAG-Based Contextual Responses: Volt AI makes a determination of context and retrieves relevant content from a vast knowledge-base that the AI-model is trained on before generating a concise response. This provides highly relevant and reliable answers to product-related queries (e.g. components, APIs, configurations).
- Citations to official Documentation: AI-generated responses include references or links to supporting official documentation, allowing a developer to delve deeper into the corresponding functionality, if they so desire.
- Code Generation: Volt AI can generate Volt MX code in response to user prompts. These snippets are accompanied by:
- A short note explaining what the code does
- A copy option to move code to clipboard
- A detailed explanation of the functionality following the code

- Cross-Product Support: Volt AI can also support queries across other HCL products, including Leap, Volt MX Go, and Domino, provided the user has entitlements for these products.
- Feedback Mechanism: Users can provide feedback on AI-generated responses to improve accuracy.

How It Works
Fig 5 : How Volt AI works
- You start by asking a question
- Volt AI then builds a smart prompt, combining your query with relevant contextual information.
- Next, it looks up content from its trained knowledge base, aggregating the most relevant material.
- Using this, the Generative AI creates a context-aware response, tailored to your query.
- Finally, you can provide feedback, helping Volt AI grow more helpful over time.
Important Considerations:
- Login Required: Volt AI is accessible only to logged-in users.
- Usage cap: A usage limit is enforced on Volt AI’s RAG endpoint. If the quota is exceeded, the message “Rate limit exceeded. Try again later.” is displayed.
- Retaining Context: Volt AI retains conversation history for better continuity and understanding.
- Response Accuracy: Volt IQ provides AI-generated responses. Please re-verify critical queries for accuracy.
- Please do not provide confidential or sensitive information as part of your queries or feedback since such data may be accessed or processed in order to train the AI Model for greater accuracy.
