Using Stella
Key use cases include:

- Search: Return plain text answers or structured tables
- Resources: Retrieve help documentation, product notes, videos, and Pulse articles
Stella reduces the time and effort needed to search, audit, and report on SOTI MobiControl data. It improves administrator productivity by reducing administration overhead and providing quick access to device and profile information.
Stella is designed to deliver insights, reports, and trusted resources through English-language prompts. Although it does not perform console actions like creating, assigning, or deleting items, it complements the console by giving administrators fast access to information.
