Rotating vendor badge cycles: MikroTik · Cisco · Fortinet · Juniper · Palo Alto · Meraki. Subtitle: Terminal, network brain, and AI pair engineer in one app. Built for MSPs and mid-market NetOps teams. Mac and Windows, ships today. SUMMARY Altostrat Studio is an AI-native desktop IDE for day-to-day network operations. It packages four capabilities that historically lived in four separate tools: 1. Multi-protocol terminal (SSH, Telnet, Serial, RDP) with real-time collaborative sessions, live cursor presence, video calls, and searchable session recordings. 2. Network brain: living discovery via LLDP, CDP, and ARP; packet capture and flow collection; on-demand SNMP; and a Graph RAG knowledge base that indexes configs, sessions, runbooks, and change history. 3. AI copilot powered by Amazon Bedrock, with eight specialized sub-agents, three-tier caching, and extended thinking. Grounded in your own data. Default model: Claude Opus 4.6. 4. Visual workflow engine (DAG editor with reflection) that turns chat into shareable, reviewable team runbooks. Default posture: read-only. Writes require explicit per-session approval. Credentials never pass through chat or LLM prompts. FEATURES (six headline features on the homepage) 1) A network map that refuses to lie. Studio walks LLDP, CDP, and ARP continuously, so your topology updates itself while you work. No more 2019 Visio in a SharePoint folder, no more diagrams that only match reality on the day they were drawn. Open Studio, see the network as it is right now. 2) Credentials that never leave the keychain. Secrets stay in the OS keychain and the AWS KMS-backed vault, injected just-in-time at connect. They never pass through chat, never land in a ticket, never ride along in an LLM prompt. FIPS 140-2 encryption, per-org customer-managed keys, full audit trail on every fetch. 3) An AI that knows your network, not just its manual. Studio builds a Graph RAG index of your devices, configs, sessions, runbooks, and change history — searchable offline, grounded in your data. When you ask why that ACL is there, the answer cites the ticket from 2021 where someone added it. The copilot reads across Cisco IOS, NX-OS, Junos, FortiOS, RouterOS and more, so multi-vendor context is one question, not four CLIs. 4) Two engineers in the same SSH session, cursors and all. Drop a teammate into your live session, see their cursor, hand off the keyboard, talk it through on a Chime call with live transcription. When the senior engineer leaves, the session, the recording, and the reasoning stay in the knowledge base — so the network doesn't leave with them. 5) The AI clicks through the web UI, so you don't have to. Half your devices still live behind a web UI that nobody wants to click through at 2am. Studio's copilot navigates those panels autonomously, takes annotated screenshots as it goes, and hands you the evidence. Faster than swivel-chairing between vendor portals, safer than a blind script. 6) Turn a sentence into a runbook you can ship. Describe what needs to happen. Studio's DAG editor builds the workflow, shows you the branches, and marks every step that touches a device as review-required. Run it once, save it as a team runbook, reuse it the next time the ticket comes in. The runbook is no longer a screenshot. CALL TO ACTION Heading: Put it on your laptop today. Body: Altostrat Studio is free to download for Mac and Windows. Connect to one device, ask the copilot something hard, and decide for yourself. No demo required. Microcopy: Free to start. No credit card. Your configs never leave your tenant. FAQ (verbatim) Q: What does Studio actually automate, and what does it leave to me? A: Studio drafts configs, builds runbooks from chat, walks web UIs, documents sessions, and keeps the topology current. It does not push a change to a device until you approve the diff. The copilot is read-only by default. You turn on write mode per session, per device, or never. Q: Which vendors does it support today? A: Full terminal support for anything that speaks SSH, Telnet, Serial, or RDP — so in practice every major vendor. The copilot has deep context for Cisco IOS, NX-OS, IOS-XR, Junos, FortiOS, PAN-OS, RouterOS, ArubaOS, and the usual Linux network stacks. If your gear has a CLI or a web UI, Studio can sit in front of it. Q: What about devices that only have a web UI? A: Studio drives them in a sandboxed browser. The copilot clicks, reads, and screenshots each step, then hands you an annotated trail of what it did. You review the evidence before anything ships. The MikroTik WebFig, the Meraki dashboard, the old Dell iDRAC — all fair game. Q: How do credentials work, and where do they live? A: In your OS keychain, synced to an encrypted vault backed by AWS KMS with per-org customer-managed keys. Studio injects them at connect time, not in chat and not in LLM prompts. Every fetch is audited. FIPS 140-2. If a teammate needs access, you grant it to a person, not to a shared password. Q: Can my team actually share a session live? A: Yes — real-time cursor presence in the same SSH session, a Chime call, live transcription, and an asciicast recording that lands in your knowledge base when you're done. The session, the reasoning, and the fix all stay searchable. That's how you stop losing the network when a senior engineer resigns. Q: What does rollout look like? How does my team actually adopt this? A: One engineer downloads Studio on their laptop tonight. They connect to a few devices, ask the copilot something hard, and use it for one on-call shift. If it earns its seat, you invite the team, move credentials in, and retire whatever you're currently swivel-chairing between. Most MSPs go from "one curious engineer" to "team standard" in under three weeks. No forklift, no migration project. CLOSE LINE Built for what's next.
