The /api/explain public endpoint is coming soon. During private beta, AI explanations are available via the Risk Score endpoint by passing a request through the web app, or by using the app’s built-in explain panel.

​
Overview

The AI explanation feature generates a plain-language summary of the main delay risk factors for a flight. It covers historical performance, weather outlook, airport congestion, seasonal patterns, and airline-specific reliability. Powered by Claude (Anthropic).

​
How to access it now

The explanation is generated on-demand in the app UI when you open the detail panel for any flight score. A standalone API endpoint for programmatic access will be available in the next release.
