At Quindar, we're committed to making your mission operations smoother and more efficient. We're thrilled to announce some powerful new capabilities in our newest release: Runbooks and the Quindar Assistant. These tools are designed to automate repetitive workflows and give you faster access to platform knowledge. Let's dive into what this means for you.

Runbooks: Automate Repetitive Sequences

Space missions often involve recurring procedures that require a blend of manual and automated steps. Runbooks let you automate step-by-step procedures with a mix of ground tasks and manual approvals, giving you greater control and reducing user error in executing workflows.

Runbooks are especially valuable when things don't go as planned.

  • Missed contact? Automatically trigger a series of recovery actions.
  • Can't reach the spacecraft? Run a predefined troubleshooting sequence without delay.
  • Unexpected SAFE mode? Instantly adjust your mission plan.
A Runbook is a sequence of activities and may be triggered manually or in response to events that may occur in your system.

Traditionally, these procedures lived with experts, usually documented in Word or Confluence, or even in giant 3-ring binders and are long, complex, and prone to human error. With Runbooks, those same procedures are now streamlined into automated, repeatable sequences that are faster, more accurate, and easier to execute.

This release is just the beginning – we're excited to hear your feedback on how to expand and refine this feature based on your mission needs.

Quindar Assistant: Your In-App Copilot

Say hello to the Quindar Assistant, your new AI-powered helper. The Quindar Assistant is built right into the app, providing instant answers and task support without breaking your flow.

The assistant is designed to provide:

  • Real-time answers: No more digging for documentation. The Quindar Assistant offers immediate, contextual guidance in-app.
  • Intelligent task creation: Draft Ground and Contact tasks.
  • On-demand insights: From workflow explanations to troubleshooting tips, Quindar Assistant delivers mission-specific support whenever you need it.
Vibe coding in action: Quindar Assistant delivers real-time, contextual guidance, helping operators automate workflows and make mission-critical decisions faster.

Important note: Right now, the assistant is more for guidance and support. While the assistant isn't enabled to perform actions in Quindar (except for select customers), this is constantly evolving, cutting-edge technology – help us shape it! Try it out and let us know what you'd like to see it perform.
