# Change CI suggestion AI agent

This AI agent recommends a list of relevant configuration items \(CIs\) that can be added as Affected CIs to the current change request.

## Workflow

1.  Extract the current Change Request number and ask the user to confirm whether to proceed: `Do you need help in identifying configuration items for `{changeRequestNumber}`?`
2.  If the user confirms, proceed to the next step; otherwise end the conversation.
3.  Ask the user for details about the configuration items.
4.  Launch the Get configuration items tool for change based on user input tool and pass the user-provided utterance from the previous step as input.
5.  Present this tool's output to the user as a formatted list of CI suggestions.
6.  Based on the user's response, launch the associate configuration items to change tool and pass the selectedSysId variable as an input.
7.  Display the output to the user.
