AI Infrastructure in
Plain English
Meet Benson—the natural language interface that transforms complex infrastructure operations into simple conversations. Deploy models, manage resources, and enforce compliance without touching a command line.
Traditional AI deployment requires months of work by DevOps engineers, ML specialists, and security experts. Benson changes that equation entirely.
Benson is the OS-level assistant built into SLYD that controls the entire infrastructure stack. Describe what you want in plain English. Benson handles provisioning, security, compliance, and deployment automatically.
Deploy production AI in minutes. Manage your entire AI infrastructure through conversation.

See what Benson can do with natural language
"Deploy Llama 3 for our legal team"
Provisions isolated instance with appropriate access controls and compliance settings
"Scale up inference capacity for the marketing chatbot"
Analyzes current load, provisions additional GPUs, updates load balancer
"Show me which models are consuming the most resources"
Generates utilization dashboard with cost attribution by team and project
"Make sure all deployments have audit logging enabled"
Audits current state, flags violations, applies remediation automatically
"Spin down idle GPU instances after 2 hours"
Creates automated policy, applies across infrastructure, logs all actions
"List our spare capacity on the marketplace at $2.50/hr"
Configures compute listing, sets pricing, enables availability on SLYD marketplace
"What's the status of our training job?"
Retrieves progress metrics, estimated completion time, resource utilization
"Add Sarah to the finance AI team with viewer permissions"
Creates user, assigns RBAC role, logs the access grant with full audit trail
Why Benson is Different
Deep integration vs. generic AI assistants
Generic AI assistants can explain what Kubernetes does. Only Benson can actually deploy to your cluster. The difference is deep, bidirectional integration with SLYD's infrastructure.
Technical Architecture
What makes Benson enterprise-ready
Deep Resource Graph Integration
Benson has real-time visibility into cluster topology, utilization, costs, and availability. Generic AI wrappers lack API access to live infrastructure state.
Policy-Aware Execution
Every action validates against your policies before executing. Benson won't deploy a model that violates your security configuration—even if you ask it to.
Audit Trail Native
All Benson actions are logged with full context, user attribution, and rollback capability. Post-hoc logging cannot match native audit integration required for compliance.
Multi-Tenant Context
Benson understands organizational boundaries, permission hierarchies, and resource isolation. It won't accidentally expose one team's resources to another.
What Benson Does
What Benson Doesn't Do
Benson is laser-focused on SLYD operations. It doesn't waste resources on conversations you could have with any general AI assistant.
- Not a general chatbot for recipes or trivia
- Not a code assistant (use GitHub Copilot)
- Not a personal assistant for calendar/email
- Not an image or video generator
Every Benson interaction is focused on your AI infrastructure.
Use Cases by Role
How different teams use Benson
IT Administrator
"Deploy the approved document analysis model to our legal team's environment with our standard security configuration."
Benson provisions the model, applies RBAC, enables audit logging, and notifies the team—without requiring Kubernetes expertise.
Business User
"I need an AI assistant for our customer support team that can access our FAQ database."
Benson identifies the right model, connects it to the data source, and sets up the deployment with appropriate access controls.
MSP Managing Clients
"Show me GPU utilization across all client environments and flag any that are below 30%."
Benson aggregates data across tenants, identifies underutilized resources, and recommends optimization actions.
Security Model
Benson operates within your security boundaries
Authentication
Inherits your enterprise SSO (SAML, OIDC, Active Directory)
Authorization
Respects RBAC—Benson can only do what you're permitted to do
Audit
Every command logged with user identity and action taken
Scope
Cannot access resources outside your organizational boundary
Benson amplifies authorized users—it doesn't grant additional permissions.
