Artificial intelligence based in-flight assistants and associated systems, devices, and methods

A method of providing an artificial intelligence-based in-flight assistant on an airplane, the method comprising:

• receiving a query from a passenger on an airplane, wherein the query is received as a user input;
• converting the user input to a text input;
• transmitting the text input to an artificial intelligence model, wherein the artificial intelligence model is implemented by at least one processor and at least one memory included in an onboard server, the artificial intelligence model generated from training data sets tuned using queries from airplane passengers;
• generating, by the artificial intelligence model and in real-time, a response to the query, wherein the response is generated as a text output;
• converting the text output to an audio output;
• transmitting the audio output to the passenger;
• and
• displaying an assistant graphical character to the passenger, wherein animation of the assistant graphical character is synchronized with the audio output.

A computer-readable medium onboard an airplane storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• receive a query from a passenger on an airplane, wherein the query is received as a user input;
• convert the user input to a text input;
• generate, using an artificial intelligence model and in real-time, a response to the query, wherein the artificial intelligence model is implemented on an onboard server, the artificial intelligence model generated from training data sets tuned using queries from airplane passengers, wherein the response is generated as a text output;
• convert the text output to an audio output;
• transmit the audio output to the passenger;
• and
• display an assistant graphical character to the passenger, wherein animation of the assistant graphical character is synchronized with the audio output.
