CLI to AI, Part 1: Deploy a Unified Branch with Low-Code Automation (Branch as Code)

From CLI to AI is a mini-series showing how Cisco takes the complication out of complex networks. These are the recorded versions of the live demo presented at the WWT booth during Cisco Live 2026, rebuilt with clean execution and step-by-step explanation so you can follow every move. The series walks through deploying and operating a modern network using low-code and no-code automation, starting with work that used to take weeks and bringing it down to hours, then progressing all the way to agentic operations where an AI assistant builds workflows from plain language. The throughline is simple: complex does not have to mean complicated.
