Ask Gordon is a [Beta](/manuals/release-lifecycle.md) feature, and only members
|
||||
of the Ask Gordon beta program can access it. Features, user interface, and
|
||||
behavior are subject to change in future releases.

|
||||
|
||||
Ask Gordon is your personal AI assistant embedded in Docker Desktop and the
|
||||
Docker CLI. It's designed to streamline your workflow and help you make the
|
||||
most of the Docker ecosystem.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is Ask Gordon?
|
||||
|
||||
Ask Gordon is a suite of AI-powered capabilities integrated into Docker's
|
||||
tools. These features, currently in Beta, are not enabled by default, and are
|
||||
not production-ready. You may also encounter the term "Docker AI" as a broader
|
||||
reference to this technology.
|
||||
|
||||
The goal of Ask Gordon is to make Docker's tools for managing images and
|
||||
containers more intuitive and accessible. It provides contextual assistance
|
||||
tailored to your local environment, including Dockerfiles, containers, and
|
||||
applications.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask Gordon integrates directly with Docker's tools to help you perform specific
|
||||
tasks. It understands your local setup, such as your local source code and
|
||||
images. For example, you can ask Gordon to help you identify vulnerabilities in
|
||||
your project or how to optimize a Dockerfile in your local repository. This
|
||||
tight integration ensures responses are practical and actionable.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Ask Gordon is powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). Like all LLM-based
|
||||
> tools, its responses may sometimes be inaccurate. Always verify the
|
||||
> information provided.
|
||||
|
||||
### What data does Gordon access?
|
||||
|
||||
When you use Ask Gordon, the data it accesses depends on the context of your
|
||||
query:
|
||||
|
||||
- Local files: If you use the `docker ai` command, Ask Gordon can access
|
||||
files and directories in the current working directory where the command is
|
||||
executed. In Docker Desktop, if you ask about a specific file or directory in
|
||||
the **Ask Gordon** view, you'll be prompted to select the relevant context.
|
||||
- Local images: Gordon integrates with Docker Desktop and can view all images
|
||||
in your local image store. This includes images you've built or pulled from a
|
||||
registry.
|
||||
|
||||
To provide accurate responses, Ask Gordon may send relevant files, directories,
|
||||
or image metadata to the Gordon backend along with your query. This data
|
||||
transfer occurs over the network but is never stored persistently or shared
|
||||
with third parties. It is used exclusively to process your request and
|
||||
formulate a response.
|
||||
|
||||
All data transferred is encrypted in transit.
|
||||
|
||||
### How your data is collected and used
|
||||
|
||||
Docker collects anonymized data from your interactions with Ask Gordon to
|
||||
enhance the service. This includes the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- Your queries: Questions you ask Gordon.
|
||||
- Responses: Answers provided by Gordon.
|
||||
- Feedback: Thumbs-up and thumbs-down ratings.
|
||||
|
||||
To ensure privacy and security:
|
||||
|
||||
- Data is anonymized and cannot be traced back to you or your account.
|
||||
- Docker does not use this data to train AI models or share it with third
|
||||
parties.
|
||||
|
||||
By using Ask Gordon, you help improve Docker AI's reliability and accuracy,
|
||||
making it more effective for all users.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have concerns about data collection or usage, you can
|
||||
[disable](#disable-ask-gordon) the feature at any time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
To use this feature, you must have:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Access to the Ask Gordon beta program](https://docker.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dmVHFjQ4fZlrEOy).
|
||||
|
||||
- Docker Desktop version 4.37 or later.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask Gordon is not enabled by default. After having received access to the beta
|
||||
program, you must enable the feature:
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Sign in](#sign-in) to your Docker account.
|
||||
2. [Enable the feature](#enable-the-feature) in the Docker Desktop settings.
|
||||
3. [Accept the terms of service](#accept-the-terms-of-service).
|
||||
|
||||
### Sign in
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open Docker Desktop.
|
||||
2. Select the **Sign in** button.
|
||||
3. Complete the sign-in process in your web browser.
|
||||
|
||||
### Enable the feature
|
||||
|
||||
After signing in to your Docker Account, enable the Docker AI feature:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the **Settings** view in Docker Desktop.
|
||||
2. Navigate to **Features in development**.
|
||||
3. Check the **Enable Docker AI** checkbox.
|
||||
4. Select **Apply & restart**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Accept the terms of service
|
||||
|
||||
To start using Docker AI, you need to accept the terms of service. You can do
|
||||
this in one of two ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- Open the **Ask Gordon** view in Docker Desktop and ask a question.
|
||||
- Use the `docker ai` CLI command to issue a query.
|
||||
|
||||
The first time you interact with Docker AI, you'll see a prompt to accept the
|
||||
terms of service. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker ai what can you do?
|
||||
|
||||
Before using Gordon, please accept the terms of service
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After accepting the terms, you can begin using Ask Gordon.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using Ask Gordon
|
||||
|
||||
The primary interfaces to Docker's AI capabilities are through the **Ask
|
||||
Gordon** view in Docker Desktop, or if you prefer to use the CLI: the `docker
|
||||
ai` CLI command.
|
||||
|
||||
If you've used an AI chatbot before, these interfaces will be pretty familiar
|
||||
to you. You can chat with the Docker AI to get help with your Docker tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
### Contextual help
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've enabled the Docker AI features, you'll also find references to
|
||||
**Ask Gordon** in various other places throughout the Docker Desktop user
|
||||
interface. Whenever you encounter a button with the "sparkles" (✨) icon in the
|
||||
user interface, you can use the button to get contextual support from Ask
|
||||
Gordon.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example workflows
|
||||
|
||||
Ask Gordon is a general-purpose AI assistant created to help you with all your
|
||||
Docker-related tasks and workflows. If you need some inspiration, here are a
|
||||
few ways things you can try:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Troubleshoot a crashed container](#troubleshoot-a-crashed-container)
|
||||
- [Get help with running a container](#get-help-with-running-a-container)
|
||||
- [Improve a Dockerfile](#improve-a-dockerfile)
|
||||
|
||||
For more examples, try asking Gordon directly. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker ai "What can you do?"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshoot a crashed container
|
||||
|
||||
If you try to start a container with an invalid configuration or command, you
|
||||
can use Ask Gordon to troubleshoot the error. For example, try starting a
|
||||
Postgres container without specifying a database password:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker run postgres
|
||||
Error: Database is uninitialized and superuser password is not specified.
|
||||
You must specify POSTGRES_PASSWORD to a non-empty value for the
|
||||
superuser. For example, "-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password" on "docker run".
|
||||
|
||||
You may also use "POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust" to allow all
|
||||
connections without a password. This is *not* recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
See PostgreSQL documentation about "trust":
|
||||
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-trust.html
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In the **Containers** view in Docker Desktop, select the ✨ icon next to the
|
||||
container's name, or inspect the container and open the **Ask Gordon** tab.
|
||||
|
||||
### Get help with running a container
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to run a specific image but you're not sure how, Gordon might be
|
||||
able to help you get set up:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Pull an image from Docker Hub (for example, `postgres`).
|
||||
2. Open the **Images** view in Docker Desktop and select the image.
|
||||
3. Select the **Run** button.
|
||||
|
||||
In the _Run a new container_ dialog that opens, you should see a message about
|
||||
**Ask Gordon**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The linked text in the hint is a suggested prompt to start a conversation with
|
||||
Ask Gordon.
|
||||
|
||||
### Improve a Dockerfile
|
||||
|
||||
Gordon can analyze your Dockerfile and suggest improvements. To have Gordon
|
||||
evaluate your Dockerfile using the `docker ai` command:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to your project directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ cd path/to/my/project
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Use the `docker ai` command to rate your Dockerfile:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ docker ai rate my Dockerfile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Gordon will analyze your Dockerfile and identify opportunities for improvement
|
||||
across several dimensions:
|
||||
|
||||
- Build cache optimization
|
||||
- Security
|
||||
- Image size efficiency
|
||||
- Best practices compliance
|
||||
- Maintainability
|
||||
- Reproducibility
|
||||
- Portability
|
||||
- Resource efficiency
|
||||
|
||||
## Disable Ask Gordon
|
||||
|
||||
If you've enabled Ask Gordon and you want to disable it again:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the **Settings** view in Docker Desktop.
|
||||
2. Navigate to **Features in development**.
|
||||
3. Clear the **Enable Docker AI** checkbox.
|
||||
4. Select **Apply & restart**.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to disable Ask Gordon for your entire Docker organization, using
|
||||
[Settings Management](/manuals/security/for-admins/hardened-desktop/settings-management/_index.md),
|
||||
add the following property to your `admin-settings.json` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"enableDockerAI": {
|
||||
"value": false,
|
||||
"locked": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can disable all Beta features by setting `allowBetaFeatures` to false:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"allowBetaFeatures": {
|
||||
"value": false,
|
||||
"locked": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
