The AI fixed the gaming PC fault he had put up with for years

A man had a problem with his HP Omen gaming rig that he had lived with for years, because tracing it in the Event Viewer was too tedious to finish. Working with AI CLI, with AI allowed to run PowerShell to diagnose, the job was painless and the problem was resolved.

How it works

  1. He describes the fault to the AI CLI
  2. The AI works through prompts and runs PowerShell commands to diagnose
  3. The cause is found
  4. The problem is resolved

Why it’s worth knowing

A fault he had avoided for years went away once the agent could run the diagnostic commands itself.
