BandOps: Regulated Multi-Agent Command Center

When a commercial jet breaks down on the tarmac (an Aircraft on Ground or AOG event), it costs the airline roughly $15,000 every single minute it remains unfixed. Resolving an AOG crisis requires immediate, flawless coordination between Engineering, Supply Chain, Flight Ops, and FAA Compliance. Today, these departments operate in siloed systems, communicating via fragmented phone calls, emails, and whiteboards. The result? Hours of cascading delays, massive financial losses, and significant regulatory compliance risks. Enter BandOps. BandOps is a secure, cyber-physical Multi-Agent Command Center that replaces human silos with an orchestrated swarm of six specialized AI agents. We built a beautiful, glassmorphism-powered War Room where agents (including a Line Mechanic, Logistics Manager, Flight Ops Dispatcher, FAA Compliance Auditor, Crew Scheduler, and an AOG Commander) collaborate in real-time to solve the crisis. Band is the critical interoperability layer that makes this possible. We used the Band API to forge a zero-trust mesh where agents—regardless of the underlying framework they were built in—can share context, debate, and formulate a compliant resolution. Our FAA Compliance agent acts as an adversarial auditor, constantly challenging the other agents to ensure regulations are never breached. Crucially, BandOps enforces Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) oversight. The agents analyze the fault and locate parts globally in seconds, but the AOG Commander synthesizes their debate and presents a final recommendation to a human operator for approval. Using Band's architecture, this entire debate and the final human decision are cryptographically logged to an immutable audit trail, providing the flawless traceability required by aviation regulators.
