Cisco AI Canvas

The workspace for AgenticOps

Bring cross-domain telemetry, teams, and agents into one generative workspace. Agents investigate and propose solutions. Operators supervise and approve execution.

Operations slow when context is siloed

75 %

of mean time to resolution is spent finding the problem. The rest is fixing it.

The issue isn't data volume–it's turning signals into decisions when context is fragmented across consoles and handoffs.

The bottleneck is coordination, not capability.

Triage defaults to a process of elimination

Telemetry is fragmented across domain tools

Teams share facts too slowly

Correlation stays operator-driven

A shared, generative canvas for cross-domain operations

Launch AI Canvas from Meraki, Splunk, or Cisco Cloud Control, or from an alert. Context builds as soon as work starts, with no need to rebuild it across tools.

Write in natural language. Agents use Model Context Protocol (MCP) to query connected tools and return only the telemetry that matters, bringing cross-domain signals together in one view and reducing operational silos.

Pin telemetry, timelines, and artifacts on AI Canvas. Evidence stays intact through tool switching, handoffs, and escalations.

Share the workspace with operational teams and leadership. Everyone sees the same evidence, the working conclusion, and next steps without a live walkthrough.

Agents investigate and recommend actions. Humans review the rationale and approve execution.

AI Canvas turns effort into outcomes

Build a decision-ready view

From a single prompt, AI Canvas pulls cross-domain telemetry and creates a task-focused view with sources attached. Teams align impact and ownership fast because evidence is organized.

Replace guesswork with proof

AI Canvas connects related signals to quickly narrow scope. Teams move through elimination faster and improve mean time to innocence—even when each tool shows only part of the picture.

Move from plan to approved action

Agents propose next steps. Operators approve. Agents execute supported workflows and capture changes and outcomes: faster remediation, approval-gated execution, and validated outcomes.

Make work reusable

Every workspace becomes a reusable record of evidence, decisions, approvals, and outcomes. Teams apply proven patterns to reduce repeat work and improve day-to-day operations over time.


 

Powered by the Cisco Deep Network Model

Domain intelligence built for operations

AI Canvas is grounded in the Cisco Deep Network Model, trained on 40 plus years of Cisco expertise and refined with live telemetry plus TAC/CX insights to match real network behavior.
