THE CREW

You are the captain. AI is the crew. FlightOps is the flight deck.

Coding agents can write ROS 2 code, but they cannot see the running robot. FlightOps gives them, and you, the record: what the graph did, why it broke, and whether the change works.

Captain

Set the goal, read the evidence and give the GO. Nothing reaches hardware without you.

Crew

Write the change, ask FlightOps what the robot did, fix it with evidence and run the gate.

FlightOps

Flight deck

Sees the live graph and the recordings, explains every failure, keeps the regression tests and gives the verdict.

THE WORKFLOW

How robots get built with AI now.

Eight steps between an idea and a robot. Your agents do the typing, FlightOps supplies the evidence, and you make the calls.

AGENT KIT

Your coding agent gets the same evidence.

Agents break middleware contracts that only show up at runtime. FlightOps gives them the same bounded evidence and the same verdict it gives you.

DECLARATION · OPTIONAL AIFORM AI-1

Ask questions about up to eight evidence files in plain language. Before anything is sent to a model, FlightOps lists every item it would send. Nothing leaves your machine until you approve. Off until you turn it on.
