How to Use the Safety AI Assistant

By following this guide, you will use the Safety AI Assistant (ALI) to analyze safety data patterns, draft investigation content, and receive actionable recommendations grounded in your workspace’s records.

​

Open the AI Assistant

There are two ways to access ALI:

• From the Safety sidebar. Click ALI in the Safety navigation to open the full chat interface.
• From a record. Click AI Assist in the header of a report, investigation, or CPA detail page. The assistant opens with context about that specific record.

When opened from a specific record, ALI automatically has context about the record number, status, findings, and related data. This enables more targeted analysis without re-entering details.

​

Ask Safety Questions

Type your question in the chat input. ALI can help with a wide range of safety management tasks:

​

Review AI-Generated Citations

ALI grounds its responses in your actual safety data. Responses include citations that reference the source records: Click on any citation to navigate directly to the source record. This lets you verify the AI’s analysis against the original data.

​

Use Action Suggestions

When ALI identifies potential actions, it presents them as clickable action cards with direct links to the relevant module:

• Create a report — opens the new report form with pre-filled context.
• Open an investigation — navigates to the investigation creation workflow.
• Create a CPA — opens the CPA form linked to the relevant finding.
• Start a risk assessment — opens the risk form with identified hazard details.

Action suggestions are recommendations, not automated actions. You decide whether to follow through.

​

Analyze Patterns Across Reports

Use ALI to identify recurring themes and systemic issues that may not be visible in individual reports:

1. Ask about patterns. For example: “Are there recurring hazards in our flight operations reports from the last 6 months?”
2. Review the analysis. ALI examines report types, categories, locations, aircraft, and contributing factors to identify clusters.
3. Follow up with specifics. Ask narrowing questions such as “Which airport codes appear most frequently in those reports?” or “What time of day are these events occurring?”
4. Take action. If patterns suggest a systemic issue, use the action suggestions to create a risk assessment or investigation.

​

Draft Investigation Content

When working on an investigation, open ALI from the investigation detail page to:

• Draft summary language — ALI generates a narrative summary based on the investigation’s findings and root causes.
• Identify contributing factors — suggests additional factors to consider based on similar investigations.
• Suggest lines of inquiry — recommends additional questions or evidence to pursue.

​

Natural Language Reporting

ALI powers the natural language report submission mode. When you describe a safety event in plain text, the AI extracts structured fields — report type, severity, category, location, date/time, and aircraft — for your review. See Submit a Safety Report for the full natural language workflow.

​

Best Practices

• Verify all outputs. Cross-reference AI analysis against source records before including in formal documents.
• Iterate on prompts. If the first response does not fully address your question, refine your prompt with additional context or constraints.
• Use contextual mode. Open ALI from within a specific record to get more targeted, relevant analysis.
• Document AI-assisted analysis. When AI insights inform a safety decision, note that AI analysis was used and describe the independent verification you performed.
