SayIntentions.AI has officially released their new product offering: Entourage. This new AI-based feature provides simmers with a way to enhance their experience while flying by offering virtual assistants that handle everything “except the pilot.” The product aims to expand the scope of AI within flight simulation beyond air traffic control, offering users a one-time purchase option for $34.95.
With Entourage, SayIntentions.AI seeks to broaden their offering to the flight simulation community with a comprehensive range of AI services, from AI Cabin Crews to AI Tour Guides, Flight Mentors, and ground services like pushback and catering coordination. These features are designed to complement a user’s flight simulation setup, bringing to life the various roles integral to a real-world flight experience.
One of the key aspects of Entourage is its pricing. The team at SayIntentions.AI has been paying attention to community feedback regarding subscription costs, noting that users had requested a more economical approach. “We’ve heard you. We’re listening,” Brian Shellabarger, CEO of SayIntentions.AI, said during the announcement, introducing the one-time purchase model for Entourage, which includes a full suite of AI-powered features with no ongoing fees. However, the ATC services remain exclusive to the existing SayIntentions.AI subscription, which costs $16.25 per month when paid annually.
For users seeking advanced AI options, SayIntentions.AI will continue to offer premium features through the subscription-based system. This enables advanced AI capabilities, including dynamic voices and higher levels of cognitive interaction.
Entourage is designed to work both as a standalone product and in combination with other ATC add-ons, giving users flexibility. Shellabarger mentioned, “If you’re using another ATC product that you love, you can still add on our tour guides, mentors, dispatchers, and more.”
In addition to the features available at launch, SayIntentions.AI plans to release additional services later in 2024. These include pushback, ground crews, and FBO services, which will further extend the capabilities of Entourage. For those already subscribed to SayIntentions.AI, the premium Entourage features will be included at no extra cost as part of their ongoing subscription.
SayIntentions.AI Entourage is available now for an introductory price of $34.95, which is expected to increase on November 1st.
