Terraform AI Assistant FAQ

Q: How to access Terraform AI Assistant?

A: Log on to Terraform Explorer. Click the assistant icon in the bottom-right corner to open the Terraform RDS Copilot page. You can also go directly to the Terraform RDS Copilot window URL.

Q: I cannot find the correct resource type, or the resource type returned is not what I want.

A: Resource lookup accuracy is continuously improving. Try adding more details to your question, such as the product code or a feature description. The Alibaba Cloud Terraform Provider does not yet support all features for all products. If a feature is unsupported, the AI assistant cannot return it.

Q: Why does the AI assistant keep refusing to answer my questions?

A: The AI assistant politely declines to answer questions that it determines are unrelated to Terraform.

Q: Does the model support questions outside its domain?

A: Terraform RDS Copilot currently focuses on resource lookup and Terraform code generation, with intent recognition tuned accordingly. It cannot reliably answer questions outside this scope.

Q: During a streaming response, the AI suddenly says “I cannot answer.” Why?

A: Large language models (LLMs) cannot fully eliminate hallucination. After the model generates a response, a fact check runs to verify accuracy. If the response contains a clear fabrication, it is blocked and “I cannot answer” is returned instead.

Q: The context between Q&A pairs has poor relevance.

A: Start a new session or add more descriptive details to your question to avoid interference from earlier topics. We are working to improve the performance of multi-turn conversations.

Q: What large language model does the Terraform AI Assistant use?

A: It uses a domain-specific model trained on Qwen.
