Example Conversations

You: "Show me all keys matching user:*"
AI:  → SCAN 0 MATCH user:* COUNT 100

You: "What's the TTL of session:abc123?"
AI:  → TTL session:abc123
     → Result: 3600 seconds (1 hour)

You: "How many keys are in this database?"
AI:  → DBSIZE
     → Result: 15,234 keys

You: "Delete all expired test keys"
AI:  → Analyzing keys matching test:*...
     → Found 23 expired keys
     → Suggest: DEL test:expired:1 test:expired:2 ...

Two AI Modes

Mode Behavior Best For
Chat Mode Translates natural language → Redis command (requires confirmation) Learning Redis, safe exploration
Agent Mode Full tool access, executes operations directly Power users, complex workflows

Chat Mode (Default)

  1. Type your question in natural language
  2. AI suggests a Redis command
  3. Review and confirm before execution
  4. Safe for learning and exploration

Agent Mode

  1. AI has direct access to 18+ Redis tools
  2. Executes operations without confirmation
  3. Maintains conversation context
  4. Best for experienced users

AI Capabilities (18+ Tools)

Query Operations

  • Filter keys by pattern
  • Get detailed key information
  • Check key existence
  • Database statistics (key count, memory usage)

Write Operations

  • Set key values
  • Set/update TTL
  • Rename keys
  • Delete keys

Data Structure Operations

  • Hash: HSET, HDEL, HGET, HGETALL

  • Switch databases (SELECT)
  • Get server info

👉 See Tools Reference for complete documentation.

Context Awareness

The AI understands your current context:

  • Connection: Which Redis instance you're connected to
  • Database: Current DB number (0-15)
  • Selected Key: The key you're viewing (if any)

This allows context-aware commands like:

You: "Delete this key"
AI:  → DEL user:123:profile  (uses currently selected key)

Opening the AI Panel

Press Cmd/Ctrl + E or click the command line icon at the bottom.

The panel includes: - History area: Previous commands and AI responses - Input field: Enter Redis commands or natural language - Mode toggle: Switch between Chat and Agent modes - Manual Interrupt: A red square button (🟥) appears next to the "Thinking..." status. Click it to immediately abort long-running requests or stop the AI agent.

Manual Interruption

If the AI is taking too long to think or if an Agent starts performing unintended operations, you can manually stop the process:

  1. Look for the red square button (🟥) appearing next to the status text in the history area.
  2. Click the button to immediately abort the remote request and stop log capture.
  3. The status will update to (Interrupted).

[!NOTE] To prevent accidental interruption, no keyboard shortcut is provided for this action. It must be triggered by manually clicking the button.

Smart Input Detection

The AI intelligently detects your input type:

Input Detection Behavior
GET mykey Redis command Execute directly
show all keys Natural language Send to AI
SET foo bar Redis command Execute directly
delete expired keys Natural language Send to AI

Configuration

  1. Open Settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,)
  2. Go to AI tab
  3. Configure:
  4. Enable/disable AI features
  5. Select default model
  6. Toggle confirmation before execute
  7. Customize system prompt

👉 See Configuration for detailed setup instructions.
