AI summary

A method includes receiving, via a processing system, unstructured data associated with one or more operations performed in a production system, extracting, via the processing system, information from the unstructured data based on one or more domain specific prompts associated with the production system. The method also includes integrating, via the processing system, the information with structured data to generate updated structured data, receiving, via the processing system, a request associated with the one or more operations, and generating, via the processing system, a response based on the updated structured data, wherein the response includes a visualization representative of the response.
