Interacting with trace data using the AI assistant

Opening the AI Assistant View

Open the AI assistant by selecting the NCProf Assistant: Focus on chat view from the Command Palette

Add a trace file to the chat context to chat with it

Use the + or @ functionality to point the chat to a trace file. This could be a .nsys-rep or a .json.gz file and it allows you to bring a trace into the context and chat with it.

<aside> 💡

The agent we’ve released in v0.0.20 of our extension can add an arbitrarily sized trace to your chat context and let you ask very specific and detailed questions about the trace.
