Reduce Energy Consumption

Firstly, Stratusphere UX can help organizations reduce their energy consumption. Providing detailed insights into application usage and infrastructure performance, it can help organizations identify areas where they can optimize their IT environment to reduce energy usage. This includes identifying and removing unused applications, optimizing virtual machine settings, or identifying and addressing performance bottlenecks that are causing unnecessary energy consumption.

Reduce Carbon Footprint

In addition to reducing energy consumption, Stratusphere UX can also help organizations reduce their carbon footprint. By optimizing their IT environment, organizations can reduce the amount of energy they consume and, in turn, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This is particularly important in today’s world, where reducing carbon emissions is essential to combatting climate change.

Reduce E-Waste

Another sustainability benefit of Stratusphere UX is its ability to help organizations reduce e-waste. By providing valuable information about user behavior and application usage, Stratusphere UX can help organizations identify areas where they can streamline their IT environment, reduce the number of devices they need, and extend the lifespan of their existing hardware. This not only reduces the amount of electronic waste generated by organizations, but also reduces the number of resources needed to produce new devices.

Liquidware’s CommandCTRL is excited to announce the latest beta feature: ChatGPT integration for efficient process identification! With this powerful addition, users can easily determine the purpose and origin of unfamiliar processes consuming system resources. Say goodbye to manual searches and embrace the convenience of AI-assisted process identification.

It’s a common experience for users to encounter unknown processes while using Windows Task Manager or CommandCTRL’s enhanced Task Manager, which samples data every 3 seconds. Traditionally, the go-to solution has been to search the process name online to learn about its function and manufacture. However, we recognized the need for a faster and more intuitive method, leading us to integrate ChatGPT into CommandCTRL.

Here’s how to set up and use ChatGPT in CommandCTRL:

Sign up for an OpenAI account to obtain access to OpenAI API keys at https://platform.openai.com/overview. After signing up, set up a billing account for the API keys.

Log in to your CommandCTRL tenant and navigate to “Settings” on the left-hand side. Click on “Tenant and Site.” In the “Site” section, you’ll find “3rd Party APIs” and “OpenAI.” Enter your API key and Organization ID under “OpenAI.”

With OpenAI enabled, your CommandCTRL Task Manager’s “Processes” tab will display an OpenAI icon next to each process. Clicking this icon sends a query to ChatGPT, providing information about the selected process, including the manufacturer, description, and manufacturer’s website.

To minimize ChatGPT queries and reduce costs, CommandCTRL stores query results in a global cache for 90 days, accessible by all tenants. By enabling ChatGPT, you can take advantage of this crowdsourced cache to save on query costs.

As AI technology continues to evolve, we plan to incorporate more AI-driven features within CommandCTRL to help our customers work smarter, not harder. Stay tuned for further enhancements that will revolutionize the way you manage and remediate.
