Web Manuals is preparing to upgrade its digital documentation system for aircraft operators by applying enhanced search capabilities powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Today, the company announced the acquisition of Gothenburg-based ManualAI Sweden to tap its expertise in this area.
According to Web Manuals, ManualAI will now integrate AI functions into its documentation platform to help pilots and support crew more easily and intuitively find the information they need in documents. According to Web Manuals CEO Martin Lidgard, the first AI functions could be available to subscribers in the next few months. The Malmö-based company now has more than 600 customers and partners worldwide and also has offices in New York, San Diego, Singapore, and Sydney.
“Acquiring ManualAI is a testament to our growth trajectory and affirms our reputation as a steadfast, leading brand,” Lidgard commented. “Thanks to the quick integration of both business and software, we plan to deliver Web Manuals’ first AI function by spring 2024. Supporting our aviation customers to drive operational efficiency and reduce time spent on managing compliance tasks, ManualAI’s AI functionality will help us to deliver a first-class solution.”
