A grounded eight-part series on the watsonx-powered Maximo Assistant and the AI features of MAS 9.1 and 9.2 — the watsonx.ai foundation, natural-language work guidance, knowledge capture, guided troubleshooting, the AI Service deployment path, governance and AppPoints, supply chain (querying items, inventory, and PRs natively vs building item-creation, PR-drafting, and similarity tools on the 9.2 MCP server), and an October 2026 capability map. 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.
Surendra KattaHow the watsonx-powered Maximo Assistant and AI Service handle natural language queries and field recommendations — plus Optimizer's constraint-based scheduling with route optimization. Also covers Civil Infrastructure and Parts Identifier.
