We launched COMET Shorts to do something most product content does not: give our audience an honest, unscripted look at what we are building and most importantly why.
In our latest episode, COMET Dev Team Lead, Mark Rae sits down with Head of Operations, Craig Smith and Chief Technology Officer, Arrash Nekonam to talk about our latest product launch, the COMET AI Assistant.
In the session they will cover what it actually does, how it was built, and what makes it different from the AI being bolted onto platforms across the industry right now.
What makes the COMET AI Assistant different?
The COMET AI Assistant has been seven years in the making. In this episode, the team gets into what it was built to solve, how it fits into the investigation workflow without replacing the investigator, and why the decisions made around data privacy and user control were as important as the features themselves.
There is also an honest conversation about the risks of over-reliance on AI in high-risk environments, and what COMET has deliberately chosen not to do, which is just as telling as what it has.
If you work in HSE, QHSE, or incident investigation and you have been watching the AI space with a mix of interest and scepticism, this episode is worth watching.
Why this is so important for failure prevention
One of the most common challenges facing investigation and quality teams is simply knowing where to begin when something goes wrong. An incident or failure has occurred, a finding is needed, and the blank page is a real barrier. The AI Assistant was built with that friction point specifically in mind, helping investigators get started faster, maintain quality throughout, and focus their attention on the analysis that actually requires human judgement.
The team also discusses the evolution of our COMET Companion, the conversational interface that allows users to interrogate their organisation's investigation data in natural language, surfacing systemic patterns across their portfolio of incidents in a way that was previously only possible through significant manual effort.
Hear it from the people who built it
Hear from the CTO, and Dev Team Lead about why certain features were deliberately left out, or the Head of Operations describe what early quality results are actually showing. Watch the full episode to this conversation here.
If you have questions after watching or want to see the AI Assistant in action for your own organisation, book a demo and we will show you exactly what it can do.
