Reviews from the field
“We don't implement new tech without the crew's blessing. After completing the Hotwash pilot, we saw an incredible 97% positive response rate from the line. It’s rare to see that level of approval for anything.”

“After a recent downed aircraft response, 16 responders used the talk-to-text feature right at the tailboard. We captured everyone’s input immediately, and the AI summary highlighted key strengths and issues that directly shaped a stronger formal AAR. It saved us hours and ensured nothing was missed. This is the kind of tool that truly helps us get better with every call."

"The ability to examine incidents from multiple perspectives, including alignment with departmental policies, identified clear value and justified the investment. Our initial review involved a close-call incident and yielded insights not only from our own personnel, but from participating departments. Hotwash has proven highly effective."

“We used Hotwash after a structure fire where several of our members were injured. Instead of relying on informal after-action conversations, Hotwash allowed us to capture individual perspectives and bring them into one clear, organized record. That made it possible to confirm our tactics were sound while identifying specific training objectives to improve going forward. Knowing what we do well and what we need to work on was invaluable.”
