Explain with AI (beta)
"Explain with AI" in Nx Cloud leverages artificial intelligence to provide detailed explanations and insights for failed task outputs. This feature helps developers understand complex errors quickly and offers suggestions for improvements, making the debugging process more efficient.
With the power of Nx Cloud, all explanations will be provided with additional context from Nx targets and metadata. This ensures that the AI responses have the correct context related to your failed task. This means that if you're trying to debug failed Gradle tasks, the AI will know to help you specifically with Gradle.
What You Need to Enable This Feature
To use the "Explain with AI" feature, you need to enable AI features for your organization.
- For enterprise on-prem customers, this feature is not enabled by default. You need to explicitly enable AI features through environment flags.
- For public cloud users, the AI feature is enabled automatically, except for those in the EU due to regional restrictions.
- This feature is not available for hobby (free) plans on Nx Cloud.
