About this feature
What is AI Configure?
AI Configure is MAG OptiAI's before-run setup assistant. It helps you prepare the right configuration before launching a scenario, model, solver, or analysis workflow across products.
Ask setup questions
Ask clear questions about how to configure your current scenario before running the model, solver, or analysis workflow.
Choose the right method
Get guidance on solver, algorithm, model setup, input type, data problem type, and operational goal.
Tune run settings
Review runtime, thresholds, constraints, features, or other product-specific settings before launching the run.
Align the objective
Choose the right optimization objective, analysis target, or output goal so the run matches what you want to improve.
When to use it
Use AI Configure before results are generated
Use AI Configure before you run a scenario, model, solver, or analysis workflow. It helps you ask setup questions, review configuration choices, and get a recommended setup before results are generated.
Before running a scenario
Review setup before launching a run to make sure it matches your operational goal and scenario context.
When setup choices are unclear
Ask for guidance when you are not sure which setting, objective, solver, model option, threshold, horizon, or configuration choice to select.
When you need a recommended setup
Ask AI Configure to recommend a setup based on current data, product, and operational goal.
