SUMMARY:Advancing AI-Driven User Support in the FABRIC Testbed | FABRIC Web
 inar  — January 20 at 3 PM ET
DESCRIPTION:The FABRIC team is hosting a webinar this month that may be of 
 interest to this community. FABRIC is an international infrastructure that
  enables cutting-edge experimentation and research at-scale in the areas o
 f networking, cybersecurity, distributed computing, storage, virtual reali
 ty, 5G, machine learning, and science applications.Join us January 20, 202
 6, at 3 pm ET for an in-depth session exploring how FABRIC is advancing AI
 -driven user support through a Q&A tool designed to make the testbed more 
 accessible, intuitive, and efficient for researchers. This webinar will in
 troduce the new AI-powered resource that streamlines how users discover in
 formation, learn core concepts, and navigate FABRIC’s nationwide infrast
 ructure. Developed by a team led by research cyberinfrastructure architect
  Mami Hayashida at the University of Kentucky, with contributions from UK 
 students Joshna Kurra and Alex Raketich, the tool intelligently retrieves 
 and synthesizes information from FABRIC documentation, the knowledge base,
  and community discussions to deliver rapid, accurate answers tailored to 
 diverse user needs.Attendees will learn how this evolving system supports 
 both new and experienced users—whether exploring foundational FABRIC ter
 minology or addressing complex technical challenges that previously requir
 ed forum-based assistance. The tool, currently available to authenticated 
 users, is undergoing ongoing refinement in accuracy, metadata structure, a
 nd documentation to enable broader access and future integration with addi
 tional AI-driven capabilities.The webinar will also highlight how the team
  is advancing earlier prototypes for automated code support, contributing 
 to a unified suite of intelligent services that enhance onboarding, stream
 line experimentation, and boost research productivity across the FABRIC ec
 osystem. Together, these efforts mark a significant step toward delivering
  seamless, automated assistance within sophisticated research environments
 , empowering users to focus more deeply on innovative, high-impact experim
 entation.The session will conclude with a live Q&A, giving attendees an op
 portunity to engage directly with the development team.The webinar recordi
 ng will be shared with all registrants following the event.
