How to monitor client connectivity with your AI

Connect your Cisco Meraki network to your AI client once. From then on, you can check who is on your network just by asking.

Short answer

How can I see who is connected to my Meraki network?

Your AI pulls live data from your Cisco Meraki network to list active users and hardware. You can filter these results by specific SSIDs or network names. Here is how it works.

Where the data goes.

What you get from your queries.

Your AI turns network telemetry into clear, actionable lists.

CLIENTS

Active user lists

The AI identifies every client currently connected to your network. You'll see exactly which users are active on your SSIDs.

DEVICES

Hardware status

Get a clear view of the physical devices on your network. This helps you spot hardware that isn't behaving correctly.

SSID

Network filtering

Ask for users on a specific guest or corporate SSID. The AI isolates the exact group you're looking for.

HUMAN

Manual fixes

The AI provides the visibility, but you still perform the actual configuration changes in the Meraki dashboard.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for connectivity data.

The AI acts as a direct interface for your Meraki network data.

  1. Identify the network

    Your AI parses your question to find the specific SSID or network you're asking about.

    list_network_clients

  2. Fetch active users

    The agent pulls a real-time list of all clients currently connected to that network.

    list_network_clients

  3. Audit hardware

    If you ask about equipment, the AI gathers a list of the physical devices on that network.

    list_network_devices

  4. Report findings

    The AI presents the raw network data as a clean, readable summary in your chat window.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my network settings?

    No. The AI can only read data. You must use the Meraki dashboard to change any settings or configurations.

  • 02

    Can I use this to disconnect a user?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to list clients and devices. It cannot perform administrative actions like kicking users off.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my Meraki password?

    No. Your credentials are encrypted and managed by Vinkius. The AI only interacts with the data returned by the tools.

  • 04

    How fresh is the client data?

    The data is pulled live from the Meraki API whenever you ask a question, so you see current connectivity status.
