Patch uses diagnostic tools from the Datum services your project uses, so it can work out why a Compute workload isn’t available, why a load balancer isn’t serving, or why a network isn’t ready. It never changes anything on its own: it proposes a change as a plan, shows you the exact manifests, and applies them only when you approve. Patch is available in the terminal with datumctl assistant. Conversations are kept by Datum, so you can pick one up from any machine you’re signed in on.
Usage is metered by messages and tokens. See your organization’s Usage.

datumctl AI assistant

Start a conversation, choose the project, and manage your conversations.
To connect your own AI tools to Datum instead, see Datum MCP and the Agents overview.
