Introducing Shirley 2.0
Your Favorite AI Copilot Just Got Its Biggest Upgrade Yet
Big news from the FlyShirley team! We're thrilled to announce the launch of Shirley 2.0, our most significant update yet that transforms how pilots interact with their virtual cockpit. From a completely revamped voice system to enhanced aircraft awareness, Shirley 2.0 represents a giant leap forward in AI-assisted flight simulation.
A Voice You Know and Trust
The headline feature of Shirley 2.0 is our brand new voice system, featuring none other than Austin Meyer, the legendary creator of X-Plane! That's right – your AI copilot can now guide you through your flights with Austin's unmistakable voice. And for those feeling a bit adventurous, we even added a spooky Vampire Shirley voice option just in time for Halloween! 🎃
But it's not just about new voices. We've completely rebuilt Shirley's conversation system from the ground up. The result? A more natural, responsive, and intelligent copilot that knows when to speak up and when to let you focus on flying. Plus, we're working on a new feature that will enable Shirley to proactively alert you during key moments of your flight.
Enhanced Aircraft Awareness
With our new profiles system, Shirley is now more integrated with your cockpit than ever before. Your AI copilot sits right beside you, seeing the same instruments and helping you configure your aircraft with unprecedented precision. We've ensured full support for all default X-Plane aircraft, and we're actively rolling out integration with popular third-party aircraft.
Making Waves in STEM Education
Last weekend, Shirley made a splash at Tech Jam in Vermont, where we collaborated with BETA Technologies to showcase the future of flight training. Shirley successfully ran missions for a constant stream of attendees with minimal instructor intervention – a testament to how far our AI technology has come.
This achievement points to something bigger: the future of aviation education. We're excited about the possibilities this opens up for STEM programs, making aviation education more accessible to students everywhere. By bridging the gap between simulation and real flight, we're helping create more efficient pathways from sim to sky.
Looking Ahead
While Shirley 2.0 is our biggest update yet, it's still just the beginning. We're continuously working on new features and improvements to make your virtual flying experience even better. Join our growing community of aviation enthusiasts on Discord to be the first to know about upcoming updates and share your own Shirley stories.
We're transforming how pilots interact with their virtual cockpit, and Shirley 2.0 is leading the charge. With a completely revamped voice system and enhanced aircraft awareness, your AI copilot is more capable, more natural, and more integrated than ever before.
