CAST introduced a conversational feature called ‘Ask CAST’ for CAST Highlight clients. The company framed the update as a way for IT teams to access software portfolio insights through a dialogue format as they plan and execute software initiatives.
CAST said ‘Ask CAST’ was designed for environments where teams need information without waiting for separate analysis cycles. It was presented as an approach to support work that includes reducing technical debt, speeding modernization, strengthening security, and deploying AI.
The capability is described as using CAST’s “100% deterministic data” to ground responses in the software portfolio. The interface was described as requiring no training, and CAST said the feature supported investigation of options within existing workflows and tools.
‘Ask CAST’ is available to CAST Highlight clients now. Greg Rivera, VP of Product at CAST, said, “Instant answers enable instant action,” and added, “‘Ask CAST’ removes the friction that historically slows everyone down.” The release also said the feature works in Microsoft Teams, AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini, as well as other tools that support Model Context Protocol (MCP).
