Drone Assistant targets cross-border regulatory research
Finland-based Flyby Guys launched Drone Assistant, a regulatory-information platform that organizes official rules and aviation-authority guidance and lets operators query them in plain English. The company says the service should identify when evidence is insufficient rather than invent an answer, and explicitly says it does not provide flight clearance or replace an aviation authority.

Treat regulatory AI as a research interface. Operators should still retain the underlying authority citation, effective date and authorization record for every operational decision.
