What it powers
The admin assistant reads a plain-language instruction typed into the command palette, works out a plan against the platform’s own data model, shows that plan before doing anything, and only executes after you confirm. Every action stays inside your permissions and lands in the audit log.
Bulk changes nobody wants to click through by hand (updating a batch of prices, reassigning a set of categories) get done in one sentence instead of a spreadsheet import.
Why the model is swappable
The key and the model name live in one place in the configuration. Moving from GPT to a different provider, or changing model versions as OpenAI ships new ones, is a settings change, not a deployment. Nothing in the admin panel is written against OpenAI specifically.
