A maritime AI chatbot trained on your company's own procedures.
Navguide Solutions' Custom Maritime AI Chatbot is trained on a shipping company's own SMS, manuals, checklists and procedures, then answers questions about them in plain language — acting as a 24/7 troubleshooting assistant, a digital trainer for seafarers, and an assistant for shore staff drafting or improving operational procedures.

What it does
Once trained on a company's own content — SMS manuals, ISO/ISM documentation, planned maintenance system (PMS) records, and equipment manuals — the chatbot can correlate that information against the regulatory frameworks it's checked against, including SIRE 2.0, RightShip and USCG requirements, and talk back about it in plain language. It's built to understand PDF, Word, YouTube video and voice-memo input, not just plain text, and to respond in multiple languages. It doesn't just search for matching keywords in a document — it's built on large language model technology, so it understands the intent behind a question the way a person would, and answers accordingly rather than returning a list of paragraphs that happen to contain the same words.
Your documentation in
SMS manuals, checklists, equipment manuals, ISM/ISPS procedures.
Correlated against the regimes
SIRE 2.0, RightShip and USCG requirements it’s checked against.
Plain-language answers out
Understands the intent behind a question, in PDF, Word, video or voice-memo form.
How it works
Feed it your existing documentation — company SMS manuals, checklists, equipment manuals, ISM/ISPS procedures — and it becomes a standing reference three different audiences can talk to directly: seafarers asking how to handle a situation onboard, shore management drafting or improving a procedure or circular, and external stakeholders who need a quick, sourced answer instead of searching a manual by hand. It keeps improving as more of a company's own content is fed into it, working toward the kind of assistant that's always available and always current on that company's own procedures.
What you can ask it
The chatbot is built to handle exactly the kind of question a seafarer or shore staffer would actually ask under pressure or on a deadline — not just lookup questions. Examples drawn from real use:

Who it's built for
Seafarers
Troubleshooting equipment or unfamiliar procedures in the moment, or a new joiner familiarising themselves with company-specific documentation.
Shore management
HSEQ, Training and Vetting teams developing or improving operational procedures, checklists and circulars faster than drafting from scratch.
External stakeholders
Who need a specific, sourced answer from a company's own manuals without searching through them page by page.
It's built to sit alongside the rest of Navguide Solutions' inspection-readiness and training work — a 24/7 complement to the structured courses inside themaritime LMS and the zone-based guidance insideGuide2Inspections, not a replacement for either. If your fleet has a specific use case in mind, get in touch.
Straight answers
What can the Custom Maritime AI Chatbot actually do?
It's trained on a company's own SMS, manuals, checklists and equipment documentation, then answers plain-language questions about them — troubleshooting help, procedure explanations, checklist drafting, and training-content support — correlated against relevant frameworks like SIRE 2.0, RightShip and USCG requirements.
Does it replace training or the SMS manual?
No. It's built to make a company's own procedures easier to access and act on in the moment, for seafarers and shore staff alike — a companion to the manual and to structured training, not a substitute for either.
How is it customized to our company?
It's trained on the content you provide — SMS manuals, ISM/ISPS/PMS documentation, equipment manuals, in PDF, Word, video or voice-memo form — so its answers reflect your company's own procedures rather than generic industry guidance.
Train it on your manuals. Ask it anything.
