You don&rsquo;t need to know the exact commands, but adding context helps agent provide better results.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">For example, instead of writing:<\/p><pre class=\"p1\">Fix my server.<\/pre><p class=\"p1\">Try:<\/p><pre class=\"p1\">My website example.com is not opening after I restarted the VPS. Please check NGINX, firewall settings, and logs.<\/pre><p class=\"p1\">Before making major changes, we also recommend creating a VPS snapshot. This allows you to restore your server if something does not work as expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to use Hostinger Agent VPS Terminal Edition to manage, configure, and troubleshoot your Hostinger VPS using natural language commands directly in the terminal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":594,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"include_on_kodee":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-vps"],"hreflangs":[{"locale":"en-US","link":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/how-to-use-kodee-vps-terminal-edition","default":1}],"include_on_kodee":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/594"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10110"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10110\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18177,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10110\/revisions\/18177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
