Reading the AI priorities briefing

A morning summary of what needs your attention — expiring documents, lessons to approve, payouts to settle, and students stuck on a stage.

Every morning the school dashboard generates an AI priorities briefing — a structured list of items that need an admin's attention, grouped by category and ranked by urgency.

What the briefing surfaces

Categories the AI scans for:

  • Approvals pending — logbook entries awaiting instructor or admin sign-off
  • Documents expiring — aircraft documents in the 30-day window, including overdue ones
  • Payouts ready to settle — settled lessons with no outstanding holds
  • Stalled students — students with no logged activity in 14+ days
  • Onboarding holes — invited members who haven't accepted, missing payout setups, etc.
  • Safety / compliance flags — aircraft on maintenance status with active reservations, expired medicals on file, etc.

Each item links directly to the action that resolves it. No tab-hunting.

How it's generated

The briefing runs once per day, scoped to your school. The pipeline:

  1. The platform's rules engine assembles a structured snapshot of your school's state.
  2. The LLM (Llama 3.3 70B by default) classifies and prioritizes the items into a short list — typically 5 to 12 items.
  3. The output is cached for the day. Acting on an item updates its state immediately in the tray without re-running the LLM.

The briefing is regenerated automatically at midnight in your school's timezone. If you act on everything mid-day and want a fresh run, use the Refresh action in the tray header.

Agentic chat

The same tray opens into a chat surface where you can ask follow-up questions ("How many students have logged time this week?", "Which CFI has the most pending approvals?"). The chat can also execute certain actions on your behalf — sending a reminder to a stalled student, drafting an invoice — with an explicit confirm step before anything mutates state.

Action confirmation is non-optional. The chat will never silently approve a logbook, change a CFI's role, or transfer money.

Limits and known issues

  • The AI can be wrong about priorities. Treat it as a smart triage assistant, not the source of truth.
  • Items the rules engine never sees (custom workflows, off-platform communication) won't appear in the briefing.
  • For schools without an active subscription, the briefing is replaced with a "Activate billing to use this" placeholder. See Activating your school's subscription.
