Database / BetterDB Interview questions
What happens when you enable BetterDB Monitor's experimental AI Helper?
The AI Helper's dependencies only exist in the versioned image tags (X.Y.Z), not in latest or the -no-ai tags, which is why that image is roughly 280MB larger.
Even when you're running the heavier versioned image, the AI Helper is disabled by default via the AI_ENABLED setting, so it's opt-in on top of an already opt-in image choice, and it's designed to work with a locally-run, bring-your-own Ollama instance rather than a hosted API.
That design keeps the feature explicitly experimental and self-hosted: nothing about your Valkey data leaves your infrastructure to reach a third-party AI provider unless you've deliberately chosen the heavier image and flipped the flag on.
