Ask the books.
Manuals, contract, regs, MEL — ask in plain English and get the answer with the source cited. It's designed to answer from your documents and avoid guessing when it can't find support.
Two tools. One app.
AskPubs answers from the manuals, contract, and regs you fly by — with the page cited. AskPubs PBS builds your bid from your seniority. Same login, same pilot — two tools that already know who you are.
Trusted by hundreds of pilots, with thousands of queries.
Build your bid. Know what you can hold.
Tell it the month you want and it builds all 7 PBS layers from your seniority. Or ask what you'd hold at another base, fleet, or seat — it knows your rank everywhere, so you can weigh an upgrade or transfer before you ever bid it.
Built for the line. Used on the line.
As a new-hire 737 pilot at American, AskPubs has made my transition much easier, allowing me to ask AI rather than waiting for a response from a human.

AskPubs is definitely the future. An easy-to-access, real-time knowledge base that can point you in the right direction. I needed a quick MEL reference, and AskPubs told me exactly where to look in less than 5 seconds, saving valuable time in a critical predeparture phase.

Cited answer
The answer with the exact source, so you can verify it yourself.
Trust the answer. Trust where your data goes.
Where your data lives
Your manuals, contract, and regs are stored and searched on a private server we control — not uploaded to a third-party document cloud.
How answers are generated
AskPubs does the searching; Claude only does the writing. When you ask a question, AskPubs finds the relevant passages in your documents and gives Anthropic's Claude only those passages to compose the answer — it is not allowed to answer from its own knowledge, and when it can't find support in your documents it's designed to avoid guessing. Anthropic does not train its models on data sent through its API, and we never sell your data.
