Meter Command is now available to all Meter users

Meter Command is now available in our Dashboard, bringing faster, more intuitive network management to all Meter customers and partners.

Command is a generative UI that lets you talk to your network. Through a multi-stage execution architecture, it understands your plain language inputs and builds the custom software needed to surface the information you need and take action. Whether that’s a summary of all the logs about a client device, a complete dashboard, or a configuration change—Command generates the exact software to fit your request in seconds.

A new standard in network management

Command sets a new standard for the industry with networking software that truly adapts to your specific needs.

Today’s software, especially in networking, feels more rigid than ever. It’s been designed around static infrastructure, siloed systems, and dated hardware. We believe interacting with your network can and should be easier.

Whether you need to gather specific information about a device, visualize network trends over time, or make a configuration change, you should be able to do so at a fraction of the time and complexity required today. We designed Command to enable a step-change across all of networking, enabling teams to remove friction, improve performance, and gain deep network visibility and control in a more convenient format.

Architecture designed for speed, scale, and control

Command is powered by a custom intelligence architecture that we designed to translate user intent into action. This system is built on three foundational stages: planning, execution, and synthesis.

• Planning: When you ask Command a question the system first breaks it down. What data does this require? What devices or services are involved? What filters or time ranges are implied? Command plans a sequence of internal steps that map your request to the backend.

• Execution: Command then runs those steps in parallel. It pulls live data from multiple sources, filters it based on your request, and organizes it for display—all in fractions of a second.

• Synthesis: Finally, Command composes a result. That could be a chart, a dashboard, a configuration form, or a concise summary. If the request is actionable, such as: “Update the label for this device,” Command builds an interface to confirm and execute that change, complete with context and safeguards.

As part of our long-term partnership with Microsoft, we train Command’s models on Azure’s AI Infrastructure, taking advantage of their scalable compute. Because Command is built and trained on the way Meter’s systems actually work—from frontend logic to backend telemetry—it doesn’t just answer questions. It generates fully functional software designed specifically for your needs, in real-time.

Stress-testing the system

As we readied Command for GA, we made updates to the speed, reliability, and functionality: we improved our custom-built model with a 6× expanded dataset, and saw a ~3× reduction in error on our benchmarks, and several-second faster execution time.

There’s no better group to stress-test the product than our internal team of network engineers, developers, technical support engineers, and deployment operations. These teams are responsible for managing hundreds of individual networks with thousands of individual clients, acting as an extension of each Meter customer’s IT team. Over the past few months, they’ve been using Command to improve their operational efficiencies.

Software fit for your workflows

As you get started with Command, we wanted to showcase a few ways in which the Meter team is using it to bring advanced customization, control, and efficiency to their workflows.

• Build personalized, custom dashboards on the fly. Command’s ability to create customized, drag-and-drop dashboards allows administrators to tailor their monitoring interface to fit specific needs. These UI elements can be made permanent by adding them to the Canvas, a shared space for colleagues to collaborate.

• Troubleshooting with live data: Command harnesses live data to maintain up-to-the-second accuracy in our Dashboard. Meter’s configuration architecture is built from the ground up, enabling us to virtualize the entire stack to be controlled natively in the cloud. With this capability, our team of technical support engineers can use Command to make real-time API calls and react to issues as they occur, significantly reducing our response time.

• Configure networks in seconds, not hours or days: Command’s parallel execution architecture allows for simultaneous execution of multiple operations, significantly reducing wait times. This allows Command to perform 5x faster than state-of-the-art foundational models like OpenAI’s GPT 4.1. Before any action is taken, Command will prompt you to confirm the change and ensure you understand how the action will affect your network.

• Access 20+ network objects with a keystroke: Command contains over 28 total object categories, exhaustively referencing Meter’s backend architecture. To interact with individual aspects of your network, simply hit the “@” symbol and communicate directly with everything from switch ports to VLANs to DHCP rules.

Getting started with Command

Command was built to give our users full control over their networks—it’s flexible, highly performant, and works for you. We’re eager to see how you will leverage Command in your daily workflows. To access Command, head over to your Meter Dashboard. We’ve created a guide to help you get started, but please reach out to our Support Team if you need help.
