One line, and the calls go out on your say-so
'Find me a replacement driver for John Smith' is the whole instruction. AbleAI picks up the 09:00 shift, works out who is available and puts the calls through once you approve it.
Your back office, in your pocket
AbleAI is your planning, scheduling, dispatching, compliance and booking office assistant — jobs you either hire for or end up doing at night. Say what has happened and AbleAI has it worked out and ready for your approval.

01 · Cover a shift
A driver rings in sick and the whole morning goes sideways
AbleAI coordinates the cover from there — works out who is available for the shift, puts the calls out on your say-so, and comes back with who can do it. You approve the replacement driver while you keep the rest of the depot moving.
Answers land in the same thread
Each reply comes back with a name, a yes or no and the time it arrived. You confirm the cover off a list of answers, not a morning on the phone.
02 · Incident response
Whatever goes wrong on the road, the depot stays in control
Tell AbleAI what has happened, in the words you would use on the radio. It works out which services are affected, prepares the diversions and has the passenger update ready for your approval — so control sits in the depot, customers know before they ring, and the rest of the network keeps running.
From an incident to a diversion
One sentence about the intersection of John and Elizabeth Street. AbleAI finds the four routes affected and has the diversions prepared, ready for you to put out to the drivers on them.
03 · Charter quotes
The charter quoted while the customer is still on the phone
Describe the job the way the customer described it to you — school, day, headcount, destination, time. AbleAI checks what you have free, prices it, and sends the quote once you say go.
Checked, priced and emailed
200 students to Picton Sports Ground at noon: four drivers and four school buses confirmed free, quoted at $1,300, and emailed to the school the moment you say yes.
04 · Rail replacement
The rail replacement shift file, turned into driver duties in minutes, not days
A rail replacement job arrives as a published timetable or a PDF of driver shifts, and someone keys it in by hand. Give it to AbleAI instead. It reads the file, matches every trip, drafts the duties and the dead runs from your depot, and shows you what it found before it writes anything. Once you confirm, the duties are saved as drafts and checked against the fatigue limits, ready for you to roster.
A possession timetable, previewed before anything is created
One instruction and the published Sydney Trains timetable come back as 268 trips across both directions, with all 16 stops resolved, set out for you to confirm.
A railbus shift file, checked against the fatigue limits
A sample shift file with fictional operators, shortened where marked: 30 of 46 shifts taken for the operator, 134 of 134 trips matched, 26 duties written as drafts, and all 26 inside the fatigue limits.
One of those duties, ready to roster
Sign-on at the depot, the dead run to Beenleigh, each railbus trip and the meal break in order, with the run on the map.
05 · On-time running
The on-time problem, traced to the route causing it
Ask what's putting you at risk. AbleAI reads the last month of running, tells you where you sit against target, then narrows it to the route and the time window doing the damage and puts a way to pull it back in front of you.
90% against a 95% target, and why
12,430 trips across 58 routes read back against the target, the shortfall traced to S100 in the morning peak, and three specific timing changes to fix it.
Common questions
What is AbleAI?
AbleAI is the AI assistant built into Busable, the software for Australian bus and coach operators. You tell it what has happened or what you need in plain English, and it does the data entry and the checking: finding cover for a sick driver, preparing diversions around an incident, quoting a charter, building rail replacement duties and tracing on-time running problems.
Does AbleAI make decisions without the operator?
No. AbleAI finds, checks and drafts; you decide. Under Chain of Responsibility, decisions on driver fatigue, licensing, rostering and safety stay with the operator, so AbleAI puts each one in front of you with the legwork done. Nothing is created, sent or put out to drivers until you confirm it.
Can AbleAI build rail replacement driver duties?
Yes. AbleAI reads the possession timetable, the railbus shift file or the replacement plan, matches every trip, and drafts the duties and the dead runs from your depot. It shows what it found before creating anything, saves everything as a draft and runs a fatigue check across every duty. It covers the way the work arrives in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.
How do I use AbleAI?
Type what you need in plain English, on the desktop or on your phone, the way you would say it to someone in the depot. AbleAI answers in the same conversation and waits for your go-ahead before it acts.
