You can use your AI to add new users, update device details, or delete specific zones in Geotab. This turns your chat interface into a direct control panel for your fleet database.

Database outcomes

What your AI handles

The AI performs specific database operations based on your instructions.

ASSET CREATION

New device setup

The AI uses add_entity to register new hardware or users. You just provide the details in chat.

DATA UPDATES

Modify existing records

CLEANUP

Remove old data

Delete decommissioned devices or obsolete zones. This keeps your Geotab database clean and accurate.

The workflow

What your AI does when the command arrives.

Your AI translates your intent into specific database actions.

  1. Identify the target

    The AI looks at your request to determine if you are talking about a user, a device, or a zone.

  2. Apply changes

    The AI modifies the specific attributes of the entity you named, such as updating a user's role.

    set_entity

  3. Delete entries
