Loop Genie overview - Tech Preview
This release contains access to the Loop Genie as a Tech Preview in IBM® DevOps Loop. The Tech Preview is intended for you to view the capabilities of Loop Genie offered by IBM DevOps Loop, and to provide your feedback to the product team. You are permitted to use the information only for evaluation purposes and not for use in a production environment. IBM provides the information without obligation of support and "as is" without warranty of any kind.
Loop Genie 
is an AI-powered assistant integrated into DevOps Loop. It provides a unified
conversational interface for retrieving information and performing actions across
multiple DevOps Loop capabilities.
Loop Genie uses a ReAct (Reason and Act) execution model that dynamically determines the next action required to satisfy a request. Rather than following a fixed sequence of operations, Loop Genie evaluates results after each step and can invoke additional tools as needed until the requested task is completed.
Loop Genie supports multi-step requests that can involve multiple tools in a single interaction. For example, you can create a work item, assign it to a user, and retrieve its status within a single prompt. Loop Genie also produces formatted responses for better readability, replacing raw JSON outputs.
Loop Genie connects with built-in agents to handle prompts securely and efficiently. You can interact with Loop Genie through text or voice input, making it easier to manage teamspaces, add or remove users, create branches, edit files, and manage pull requests without navigating multiple interfaces.
Loop Genie’s AI capabilities supports integration with OpenAI, IBM watsonx, Claude, and Gemini. These integrations provide natural language understanding, context-aware responses, and advanced automation, allowing Loop Genie to perform tasks and retrieve information efficiently across your DevOps Loop environment.
Operational Modes
Loop Genie supports the following operational modes:
Query Mode
Query Mode is the default mode and is designed for information retrieval and exploration. In Query Mode, Loop Genie uses read-only tools and does not make changes to your DevOps Loop environment.
You can use the Query Mode when you want to retrieve information, search across loops and capabilities ,review work items, repositories, or metrics and explore available resources.
Task ModeTask Mode is used for predefined or user-defined tasks that perform actions within DevOps Loop. Depending on the task configuration and assigned permissions, Loop Genie can execute write operations such as creating work items, updating records, or modifying repositories.
