Note: Due to the nature of how Large Language Models work, the responses from NautobotGPT are not going to be the same every time.

Learning Nautobot Concepts¶

"Assuming that I have a basic understanding of Python and I am new to Nautobot, help me understand the Device data models in Nautobot. Is there any order in which I need to create these objects?"

Developing Nautobot Jobs¶

"Assuming that I have a basic understanding of Python and I am new to Nautobot, help me write a simple Nautobot job that lists all devices."

Troubleshooting Nautobot Issues¶

"I am trying to get a list of all devices in Nautobot, but the Location field is returning None for every device. Here is my code and output..."

Troubleshooting Existing Nautobot Jobs¶

"I'm refactoring a job to use kwargs and trying to add before_start() and after_return() functions, but the kwargs look serialized in before_start(). What am I doing wrong?"
