What they did
The airline built VNA AI with Microsoft and a local partner on GPT-4 via Azure OpenAI. Staff ask it about IATA, ICAO and the airline's own safety rules, HR policies and benefits instead of waiting for specialists, and engineers look up maintenance and repair procedures. Answers cite the source documents.
What happened
The article gives no usage or time-saving figures; it describes expected savings in time, workload and training. Integration with maintenance systems was still in progress, and flight operations analysis was planned as a next step.
Keep in mind
This is a Microsoft newsroom feature with no measured results. It is a question-answering assistant, so a wrong answer on safety or maintenance rules still has to be caught by staff checking the cited document.
Try it with your agent
You answer staff questions using only the documents in <folder>: <safety manual>, <HR policy> and <maintenance procedures>. For each question, give a short answer, quote the exact clause and link the document and page. If the documents do not cover it or two documents disagree, say so and name the team to ask. Never guess on safety or maintenance rules.
Replace the <angle brackets> with your own details.
