Supported topics overview

EtherAssist supports broad IT, compliance, and operations work, with specialist grounding available where your tenant policy and subscription allow it.

Use this section to understand which area to choose before writing a prompt, building a template, or configuring visible topics for users.

Topic families

Before you begin

• Confirm which topics are visible in your account.
• Use General for broad tasks that do not need specialist grounding.
• Use Auto when EtherAssist should choose from your visible topics.
• Use Topics when you know the specialist area.
• Add source files when the answer must use your organisation's policies, exports, diagrams, or evidence.

Choose the right topic

1. Identify the product, platform, framework, or output type.
2. Choose Auto if the request is clear but the topic is not obvious.
3. Choose Topics when you know the area, such as Intune, PowerShell, ISO 27001, or Azure Virtual Desktop.
4. Include the version, portal area, tenant context, error text, or control reference.
5. Ask for the output format you need, such as a checklist, policy, procedure, remediation plan, script, or evidence request.

Expected result: EtherAssist has enough context to select useful grounding and produce an answer that matches the product area and output type.

Tips

• Keep prompts narrow when a topic covers several products.
• State whether the result is for an administrator, service desk analyst, auditor, customer, or management audience.
• For compliance content, say whether you need a draft policy, implementation procedure, control narrative, evidence checklist, or audit response.
• For Microsoft cloud content, include the portal, workload, permission model, and any Graph or Azure API context.
