Teleport Assist
Teleport Assist is a generative chat interface built into the Teleport Infrastructure Identity Platform. DevOps teams use it to ask questions about their cloud environments in plain English instead of writing SSH and bash commands by hand.
The assistant converts natural language prompts into executable commands for server fleets. Generated commands run only after a human reviews and approves them, which keeps automated suggestions from executing unchecked in production.
It fits teams already using Teleport for zero trust access who want faster troubleshooting, infrastructure discovery, and day-to-day operational tasks without leaving the platform.
Ask infrastructure questions in natural language instead of writing bash by hand
Turns prompts into SSH and bash commands scoped to your connected server fleets
Requires human review before any generated command actually runs
Helps debug common issues and collect infrastructure details faster
Built into Teleport alongside identity governance, access control, and session audit
Translates plain English into infrastructure commands, which cuts down repetitive bash writing.
Human approval gate before execution reduces the risk of bad generated commands hitting production.
Sits inside Teleport's identity and audit stack, so assist sessions inherit existing access controls.
Currently focused on SSH and bash, with broader resource support still on the roadmap.
Requires an existing Teleport deployment; not available as a standalone tool.
Public list pricing is not published; teams must contact sales for quotes.
What can Teleport Assist do today?
Teleport Assist supports SSH and bash workflows. DevOps teams can troubleshoot issues, gather infrastructure details, and generate commands from natural language prompts. Teleport has stated plans to extend support to SQL databases, Kubernetes clusters, and other cloud resources.
Are Teleport Assist commands executed automatically?
No. Generated commands are executed only after a human user reviews and verifies them. This review step prevents incorrect responses from running against production infrastructure.
Is Teleport Assist a standalone product?
No. Teleport Assist is a feature within the Teleport Infrastructure Identity Platform. You need a Teleport deployment to use it alongside the platform's access, governance, and audit capabilities.
How is Teleport priced?
Teleport uses usage-based pricing for active users and protected resources. Public pricing details require contacting sales through the pricing page, and Teleport offers a free Enterprise trial to get started.
Does Teleport Assist replace writing Ansible or bash scripts?
It reduces manual script writing for routine tasks by translating English instructions into infrastructure commands. Teams still validate output before execution, so it complements rather than fully replaces traditional automation workflows.
