We've been asked "why would I need AlaryIQ when I can just paste my enigne log into AI and get the same"
Love this question, because it's the whole reason we built it.
On "just use AI yourself": you can absolutely paste a CSV into a chatbot. Two problems. First, the hard part isn't the chat, it's the data. JPI files are binary, Garmin logs have GPS-fix seams, Dynon files span multiple days. Just getting clean, correctly-decoded, time-aligned data out of these formats is most of the work, and a chatbot gets it wrong in ways you won't notice. Second, even with perfect data, an LLM has no fixed standard. Ask it twice, get two answers. For a maintenance decision, borescope it, pull a jug, or go fly, "a different opinion each time I ask" isn't good enough.
AlaryIQ puts the AI inside a harness.
It runs 36 purpose-built deterministic detectors over your data to do the actual judging. Calibrated thresholds, your specific engine/monitor's limits, trends across your last 50 flights and they return the same verdict every time. The AI's only job is to translate that into plain language an owner and an A&P can act on. It's grounded, repeatable, and it can't drift.
So it's not "AI vs. charts." It's a repeatable analysis engine that happens to explain itself in English versus a chatbot that gives you a fresh guess on every refresh.
