To help IT professionals streamline their workflows, Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) 2025.1 now includes an AI assistant — a powerful tool powered by Microsoft Semantic Kernel — designed to assist with various tasks such as proofreading, translating, creating comments, generating and improving scripts, and more.
But how can you leverage this feature effectively, and why should you? Let's explore the key benefits and real-world use cases of the RDM AI assistant.
Key use cases
Proofreading, translating, and generating comments
Documentation and clarity are crucial in IT environments. The AI assistant helps by:
- Proofreading text for grammatical accuracy and readability;
- Translating content to different languages for global teams;
- Generating meaningful comments or descriptions for entries in RDM.
This ensures that team members can quickly understand configurations, improving collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Generating and enhancing PowerShell scripts
IT administrators often rely on PowerShell scripts to automate tasks. The RDM AI assistant can:
- Generate scripts based on a given prompt;
- Optimize existing scripts for efficiency and best practices;
- Provide explanations and improvements to enhance script functionality.
By leveraging AI for scripting, users can save time, reduce errors, and enhance automation capabilities.
Multiple AI models to choose from
Security and flexibility are key concerns when integrating AI into IT environments. With the AI assistant, RDM allows users to choose from multiple providers and AI models, including:
- OpenAI (Azure OpenAI and Azure AI Inference)
- Google Gemini
- DeepSeek
- Mistral AI
- Ollama ... and more!
This means you can tailor the AI experience to your organization’s security and compliance needs, ensuring that AI-generated content aligns with your internal policies.
How to get started with AI in RDM
Using the AI assistant in RDM is easy and can be used in several places. Simply add a new entry and select the AI assistant. Use it in the description of an entry to translate or proofread, among other tasks. Use the assistant in PowerShell for help in enhancing and explaining content. Finally, you can also use the dedicated AI assistant chat window from the Window tab for quick access. Configure your preferred AI model using the settings via File > Settings > AI assistant.
