Ask an AI assistant any Rust survival question. Pulls live data from your tracked shops and recent events when relevant.
!pulseToolsAliases
!ask!ai
Asks an AI assistant a Rust-survival question and replies with a single in-game chat message. Powered by Groq (Llama 3.1 by default, configurable). Usage:
!pulse <question>
Examples:
!pulse how much sulfur for a tower?
!pulse what does a test generator cost at outpost?
!pulse cheapest soft side bigger than a 2x2?
!pulse where do I get green keycards?
Live data fusion
When the question maps to data Rust Pulse already knows, the bot fuses the answer with your live state:
- Shop questions — the bot reads your tracked-shop list and the suspicious-shop scanner to answer with actual prices on your server, not generic wiki numbers.
- Event questions (“is cargo up?”, “when did chinook leave?”) — the bot includes your current world-event state as context.
- Recipe / raid-cost questions — the bot uses the same crafting/raid tables the dashboard tools use.
When it's unavailable
If GROQ_API_KEY is unset on the API, the bot replies “Pulse AI not configured”. The default model is llama-3.1-8b-instant. Operators can switch to llama-3.3-70b-versatile (slower, smarter) via GROQ_MODEL env. See Environment variables.
