Product Overview
What is NetPilot?
NetPilot is an autonomous AI agent for network engineering that transforms how teams build and test network infrastructure. Instead of manually configuring emulators like GNS3 or EVE-NG, users describe their network requirements in plain English, and the agent automatically designs the topology, generates vendor-specific configurations, deploys a real multi-vendor lab, and validates connectivity. The platform supports 9+ network operating systems including Nokia SR Linux (built-in), Cisco IOL, Juniper cRPD, Arista cEOS, and others via bring-your-own-image. Labs run on isolated cloud infrastructure with real device CLIs accessible via SSH, enabling engineers to verify changes before production deployment.
Key Features
Autonomous Network Agent
AI agent that plans, builds, deploys, and validates complete multi-vendor network topologies from a single natural-language prompt, eliminating manual VM provisioning and config writing.
Multi-Vendor Native Support
Built-in understanding of 9+ network OSes including Nokia SR Linux, FRR, Cisco IOL, Juniper cRPD, Arista cEOS, Palo Alto, and Fortinet with automatic vendor-syntax handling.
Real CLI Access
SSH into actual network operating system instances running in isolated cloud containers, not simulations, with full CLI access to run show commands and validate protocol state.
Digital Twin Import
Import sanitized production configurations to create exact virtual replicas for testing routing changes, firewall updates, and firmware upgrades before touching live infrastructure.
2-Minute Lab Deployment
Cloud-native browser-based platform that delivers running multi-vendor labs in approximately 2 minutes versus hours or days of manual setup with traditional emulators.
MCP-Native Integration
Built on MCP-native agent architecture that connects to existing enterprise tools including inventory systems, config repositories, and ticketing platforms for seamless workflow integration.
Use Cases
- Change Validation : Network engineers test routing policy changes, firewall rule updates, and firmware upgrades against a digital twin before production deployment to prevent outages.
- Proof-of-Concept Demos : Sales engineers spin up customer-matched multi-vendor demo environments in minutes to showcase product performance, then tear down after the call.
- Network Research & R&D : Teams stand up on-demand multi-vendor topologies to validate protocols, test routing designs, and explore new architectures without hardware constraints.
- Multi-Vendor Interop Testing : Verify cross-vendor behavior by combining Nokia, Cisco, Juniper, and Arista devices in one topology to reproduce and confirm interop scenarios before production.
