In the vessel profile wizard, Nauticare AI can propose the whole profile for you — crew ranks, safe manning capacities, vessel documents, and controlled documents and forms with their policies — from a description of the yacht. It is available to Management Admin and Management User accounts, on a new profile (blank or copied from a vessel) and on an existing one.
Talking to it
Opening the wizard opens the Nauticare AI chat by itself in Edit mode, with a chip reading Vessel profile · and the profile's name (New until it has one). Describe the yacht — for example "45 m motor yacht, Cayman flag, chartered in the Mediterranean" — or say what to change. Messages can be long here (up to 5,000 characters). You can also attach a Minimum Safe Manning Document to the chat so the assistant can read the yacht's safe manning capacities from it.
To propose regulatory items it needs seven facts: private or commercial use, length, gross tonnage, flag, number of guests, crew size and operating area. It asks for missing ones with answer cards, at most three at a time. It works out which regimes apply and looks them up the same way the form and document builders do — Nauticare's regulations library first, then only official regulator and flag-registry sites (see The AI Builder). If you name a yacht already in your fleet, it reads that yacht's particulars instead of asking.
Each reply that changes the plan updates the wizard directly: existing library items are ticked, the profile's name and description may be filled in, and Undo this change rolls the last change back. Your own ticks and unticks count — the assistant keeps whatever you removed out unless you ask for it again. Nothing is saved until Save Profile, and leaving the wizard ends the conversation.
New items it proposes
Where your library has nothing suitable, it proposes new items. They appear at the top of the relevant step under Proposed by Nauticare AI, not in your library yet, and the step list shows how many are new:
- New — a crew rank or a vessel document entry to add to your library.
- AI will draft — a controlled document or form template it will write, marked Required or Recommended.
- Later — drafts beyond the limit: one run drafts at most 12, required ones first.
- Safe Manning — when the assistant plans safe manning capacities (from the yacht's facts or from an uploaded Minimum Safe Manning Document), the Safe Manning step notes that the capacities will be prepared when you click Create items.
Untick a row to drop it. A bar below the step summarises what is to be created, with an estimate of about two minutes per three drafts. If a fact it needs for drafting is still missing, the bar offers Open chat instead of Create items.
Creating the items
Create items starts a background run. While it runs, the rows show Queued, In progress, Done, Failed or Skipped, the wizard cannot be edited, and Stop skips everything not yet started. When it finishes, what was created is ticked in the wizard (and any generated safe manning rows are filled in on the Safe Manning step); anything left over stays as a proposal for another run. Save Profile stays disabled until no proposed items remain — create them or untick them.
What a run creates goes into your company's Database straight away, whether or not you then save the profile:
- ranks (with their departments) and vessel document entries;
- controlled documents and form templates as unpublished drafts, version
1.0.0, filed in the matching category, or your first category of that kind when none matches (one is created if you have none). They still need to go through Send for review and approval before any yacht receives them.
A draft that could not be written is marked Failed — write it later yourself in its editor. If the company reaches its monthly AI limit, the remaining drafts are skipped.
Leaving while it runs
You can leave the page. On Database → Vessel Profiles a banner follows the run and offers Stop. When it is done, Review and save reopens the wizard on the Review step with a Built with AI — review before saving note listing assumptions to check, regimes considered and anything not created; Dismiss hides the banner. Only the person who started a run sees it, and each person can have one run at a time.
