I’m Piyush, a third year cse student interested in the AI Chatbot to Guide User Workflow GSoC project. I’ve been looking through the existing chatbot plugin to understand the current direction.
I wanted to ask @krisstern as a mentors prespective what do you see as the main shortcomings of the current plugin today, and what improvements or capabilities are you hoping this project will focus on? Also, is there any interest in gradually moving it toward a more agent-like assistant, or should it remain strictly advisory?
The project is brand new so there is no existing plugin repo. So basically it should be capable of say guiding a new user to use Jenkins for some intermediate workflows with moderate complexity. We can have an agent mode, so that’s an option.
Hi @krisstern , hope you doing well I am working towards the project and understanding things and making a good proposal. I wanted to know when will the form to send the proposal to mentors for review and get some guidance and help me make a good proposal.
One more doubt I had, that a good proposal with the understanding of the codebase is what gets you selected or how much you had been actively taking in the group chats and the greater number of PRs get you prioritized.
Thank You
Hey @piyush , nice find! That older plugin is definitely a good reference point.
@krisstern , building on what you mentioned about an agent mode and starting fresh-if we go the agent route, would the goal be for it to actively execute tasks in Jenkins (like triggering builds), or mostly to generate pipeline code and steps for the user to apply themselves?
