Considering using AI at work, look at Platform Sharp
While contracting through DJBM Limited on a transformational Baggage Systems programme for a major UK airline, I used Platform Sharp, particularly Archie, to help me streamline the way we handled our heavy technical documentation workload.
A large part of the contract sat around requirements assurance and technical documentation review. Hundreds of controlled PDF artefacts including specifications, interface/control documents, change notices and test/acceptance evidence. Day to day it meant traceability checks, cross referencing dependencies, pulling out the relevant clauses, identifying gaps or inconsistencies and turning that into clear actions and briefing packs for design reviews and stakeholder meetings, usually to tight deadlines.
Archie put together some really practical automations showing me how to take a lot of the manual work out of my tasks. Instead of spending hours searching through documents and re checking the same things, I could reach the key information faster, sanity check what we had and produce cleaner output for our use. In all honesty, it saved me 2 weeks worth of time across the duration of my contract.
What I appreciated most was that it wasn’t generic advice. He took the time to understand how we were working and built something that actually fitted the day to day reality of the role. It was practical, reliable and immediately useful in a live project delivery environment.
It also helped that Platform Sharp is a small, agile outfit – you’re dealing directly with the person doing the work and communication was easy throughout. I’ll look to work with them for anything similar that comes up in future.
Since finishing the contract, a couple of people I worked with have even asked if I’d come back in and run an internal session on the approach we used, which probably says more than anything else.
I’d happily recommend Platform Sharp to any individual or organisation considering AI to help them with complex documentation or technical reporting where clarity and speed matter.
