A grounded six-part series on the Maximo Assistant and AI Assist in MAS 9 — the watsonx.ai foundation, natural-language work guidance, SME collaboration and knowledge capture, guided troubleshooting, the AI Service deployment path, and the governance, data-privacy, and AppPoints decisions that gate it. Written for teams who want to know what generative AI in Maximo actually does, and what it does not.

A practitioner's deep dive into the generative AI built directly into Maximo Manage — Work Order Intelligence (9.0), the Maximo Assistant (9.1, expanded in 9.2), and the AI Configuration application — and how it differs from the standalone Health, Monitor, Predict, and Visual Inspection suites.
How Maximo AI Assist uses watsonx.ai for natural language queries, WO creation, and field recommendations — plus Optimizer's constraint-based scheduling with route optimization. Also covers Civil Infrastructure and Parts Identifier.
