## Overview

Violet Chat allows you to query your data, summarize changes, and generate reports and charts in natural language.

Ask Violet to:

* List parts with a certain release status, mass or owner
* Calculate the total unpaid amount across your open invoices
* Summarize recent changes to a BOM, requirement or test

### Setup

First, head to **Integrations** to connect to an LLM provider. We support:

* Amazon Bedrock
* Azure AI Foundry
* Claude
* Gemini via Vertex AI
* Google Gemini
* Groq
* OpenAI (ChatGPT)

To connect, you'll need an API key generated from your selected provider.
