    • Use the Now Assist panel to search published Technology Reference Model (TRM) catalog records using natural language queries.

    Installing the May 2026 EA Workspace update with Now Assist for EA automatically registers the TRM catalog as a searchable source in AI Search. You can then use the Now Assist panel to ask natural language questions about your published TRM catalog records and get answers with citations linked to the source knowledge articles.

    For example, you can ask the Now Assist panel questions such as List all published TRM products and receive a summarized response with references to the relevant catalog records.

    Sample queries:

    • What is the approved software for databases?
    • Which technologies are pending retirement?
    • What is the approval status of EC2?
    • List all published TRM products in the infrastructure category.
    • What is the lifecycle status of Oracle Database?

    How AI Search works with the TRM catalog

    EA Workspace ships with an AI Search configuration record that registers the TRM catalog [sn_apm_ws_kb_template_trm_product] as an indexed source.

    After you install the May 2026 update, the indexing behavior depends on when your TRM catalog records were published:

    • Records published after the update: Automatically indexed and searchable through the Now Assist panel. No additional configuration is required.
    • Records published before the update: Not automatically indexed. You must manually trigger indexing. See Index previously published TRM catalog records for AI Search.
