What is NetPilot?

NetPilot is an AI agent for network engineers that designs, configures, and deploys multi-vendor network labs. Users describe a topology or change in plain English, or import existing device configurations. The agent generates vendor-specific configurations and builds a running environment where engineers can inspect devices through real SSH command-line interfaces.

The labs run actual network operating systems rather than simulated device behavior. Nokia SR Linux, FRR, and Linux are included, while commercial platforms such as Cisco, Juniper, and Arista use customer-supplied images. Engineers can revise a lab through follow-up instructions, test routing protocols, generate traffic, and investigate failure scenarios. Imported production configurations can form an on-demand digital twin for testing changes before deployment.

The cloud version works through a browser, with on-premises deployment available for enterprise teams. NetPilot also exposes an MCP server and offers connectors for ChatGPT, Claude, and Muse. Plans differ in AI credits, lab credits, retention, VM capacity, and supported image options; free live-lab access is a one-time trial.

What can NetPilot do?

  • Prompt-to-lab deployment

    Describe a network in plain English and let the agent design its topology, generate configurations, and deploy the lab.

  • Real multi-vendor device CLIs

    Access actual network operating systems over SSH, with built-in images and bring-your-own-image support.

  • Production change validation

    Import device configurations to build a lab for testing routing changes, firewall policies, and failure scenarios.

  • Conversational lab changes

    Use follow-up instructions to add devices or change protocols and have the agent update configurations across the lab.

  • Assistant and MCP connections

    Build and validate labs through the MCP server or connectors for ChatGPT, Claude, and Muse.

  • Packet Tracer file support

    Import and export Cisco Packet Tracer .pkt files on the Pro plan and above.
