# OpenStack Lightspeed Operator documentation

OpenStack Lightspeed is an AI-powered assistant, tailored for Red Hat
OpenStack Services on OpenShift (RHOSO), that lives inside the OpenShift
web console and answers questions in plain English — grounded in real
documentation, not guesses.

Ask it something like *"How do I create a VM using the OpenStack CLI?"* or
*"Why would a Nova compute service show as down?"* — see [Usage](usage.md) for
more.

You don't need an existing RHOSO deployment to try it — an OpenShift
cluster and an LLM you can point it at is enough (see [Quickstart](quickstart.md)).
