When you're managing a lot of open orders, it can be hard to keep track of where everything stands without clicking into each job individually. The Boatyard AI summary gives you an instant overview of what's happening across all the jobs on an order.
What It Is
AI Order Summaries is a new Boatyard feature launched in April 2026 that instantly generates a concise, human-readable summary of any order with the click of a button.
Boatyard uses AI to pull together together the scope, status, key decisions, outstanding items, and anything a manager, tech, or customer-facing teammate needs to know to get up to speed in seconds.
No more scrolling, re-reading, hunting down team members, or paper shuffling. Now, Boatyard users can open an order, glance at the summary, and you're caught up.
What It Does for Your Team
For service managers, it's a morning briefing that writes itself. Walk into the office, open your dashboard, and know where every active job stands without chasing anyone down.
For technicians, it's a faster handoff. When a job moves from one tech to the next — or comes back after waiting on parts — the next person picks up where the last one left off without having to reconstruct the story.
For service writers and customer-facing staff, it's a translator. Technical notes become customer-ready language, so when an owner calls asking about their boat, you have a clear answer immediately instead of scrambling to interpret what the tech wrote.
For yard owners and GMs, it's visibility without interruption. You can skim the state of the business without pulling your managers into status meetings.
