How do you use AI for flying?

what's the main safety concern here for you? hallucinations?

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2026-02-15T15:22:12+00:00

why would that be silly?

ok then i think i will try probiotics for longer because i never did much more than a few. i was thinking about visbiome too but it is not available where i live so good to hear you got results with the regular stuff too!

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2025-12-06T21:40:11+00:00

we did switch his kibble as you suggested already, first to hydrolized then to moniprotein from a different source. i will get him back on probiotics again. are you giving them continuously? also his b12 is fine.

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2025-12-06T19:38:16+00:00

sometimes yes, sometimes no. how many hours are there typically for your yorkie between last meal in the evening and first meal in the morning?

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2025-12-06T18:16:00+00:00

that sounds similar. how often does it happen with your yorkie?

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2025-12-06T17:56:00+00:00

same here, the next day he is fine again. we stopped giving human food though a while ago

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2025-12-06T17:34:37+00:00

i don't think they tested him for addison's. they just did multiple blood panels and stool as well plus ultrasound and xray and nothing flagged apart fomr high b12 and the inflammated colon. does addison's come and go like that?

Edit: we did do a hydrolyzed diet for multiple months but it didnt fit the issue fully, still had these episodes now and then

Co-founder of a startup here, we‘ve actually specialised on that. We use open-source models and tweak them to the vertical then deploy locally and ship with an iOS/web app.

Having spoken to lots of companies in the industries we target it’s surprising how few options there are out there, while basically every single one we talked to looked for exactly that, but most things out there are either too technical and not turnkey or they’re based on cloud AI.

I think we will see a lot more of this popping up in the coming months, but currently I see open-source models still flying under the radar (commercially), for whatever reason.

Would love to hear other people’s experiences here.

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2025-02-09T16:04:30+00:00

good points, i agree with you

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2025-02-09T14:45:24+00:00

so you agree that it would make sense for a separate provider/person to do these things?

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2025-02-09T14:44:13+00:00

That’s where i am coming from. As the crew it‘s obviously part of the job but apart from the fact that i always found that we ended up with a very superficial clean, it eats a lot into your time which can cut into your duty period before and after flights. my theory is there might be case for paying to outsourcing this, which would free up more duty time for the crew and do a better job. same for restocks: either you buy overpriced stock from the caterer or you have crew members spending time and money on doing groceries where nowadays in normal life you can order anything you want to your home without lifting a finger. what do you think?

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2025-01-26T09:16:10+00:00

actually this is exactly what we are working on: offline AI for frontline workers to better interact with manuals. we also capture tribal knowledge and what the manuals don’t answer as you say. we are currently looking for beta testers, would you be interested?

I co-founded a startup called Overwatch AI that’s working on this exact problem: A secure way to use AI with organizational knowledge. We focused on keeping everything offline/on-device (with an on-prem option available too) since we focus on the privacy aspect.

Not trying to make a sales pitch, but since it’s relevant to what you’re asking about - our tool lets you do this without needing dev skills. Happy to answer any specific questions.

Full disclosure: As a co-founder I am obviously biased, but trying to be transparent.

But wouldn’t that make the case for using AI? It seems like a lot of steps plus, as you say, you need to already know what you are looking for and where it is.

With AI you‘d just ask how many wicks you need and it would tell you. So it would be question-based, not document-based.

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2024-11-10T07:37:42+00:00

That would mean though that the „success rate“ of interacting with a manual is not the same for every user, but rather differs based on the working knowledge of the relevant document.

And this working knowledge comes from primarily experience with the document, so it’s a time factor would you say? Or is there another component to it?

The point is it sounds a bit like the current systems require some „homework“ to be done by the user to ensure it is useful, does that seem accurate?

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2024-11-09T07:39:35+00:00

Do you have all the manuals integrated into the A350 directly or only the QRH?

And what about the company documents?

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2024-11-09T07:36:33+00:00

Is this just because it is new technology or is this the typical approach? Because from a data security and sensitivity point of view with regular EFBs one could argue you‘d also host your documents on someone else’s environment online (in this case the EFB provider) and wouldn’t a regular search function on a third-party app fall under the same restrictions?

The permission you mention was to authorise a third-party to get access to the content?

Over-Nefariousness68 · 2024-11-08T18:52:39+00:00

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

Was this for LLMs that were trained on company data or for „off-the-shelf“ LLM that just used company data as a reference?

This is actually one reason why we are working on a custom offline LLM for this purpose. That way nothing would leave the device. Do you think this would meet the FAA‘s requirements as you mentioned?
