AI is here to stay – whether we like it or fear it. As much as 75% of global knowledge workers are using AI, with 49% concerned that AI will replace their jobs. At the same time, 70% of people would delegate as much work as possible to AI to reduce their workload and free up time (Microsoft Work Trend Index).
Therefore, one can’t help but wonder: is AI our friend or enemy?

AI Versus the Air Quality Industry
Artificial intelligence solutions have been dividing all kinds of industries, and the air quality (AQ) sector is no exception. We either embrace it or disregard it; there seems to be no middle ground.
At Airly, we have the privilege of working closely with AQ consultants who share their daily professional struggles with us. What we hear most often is that the main source of their burnout is either conducting monotonous, repetitive tasks or being unable to focus on more challenging topics because tasks that could easily be automated take up too much time.
In this article, we will explore the benefits of using AI in AQ consulting, highlighting roles that can be automated and handled by AI, as well as areas of expertise that should never be delegated to AI. Additionally, we will share examples from Airly AI users and debunk the skepticism surrounding this technology.
How AI complements the work of air quality consultants
Airly AI is a software solution designed to automate many routine tasks typically performed manually by air quality consultants. It supports users at nearly every stage of creating their assessments, assisting them throughout the entire creation process. This begins with defining requirements and project details, such as location, duration, construction, and assessment type. Airly AI handles automatic data collection and digitalization, data review on a map, and content generation for a chosen document section (Baseline Assessment).
It’s worth noting that Airly AI assists users with tasks that do not require advanced professional expertise. Users still retain full autonomy for more complex tasks, such as proper data selection and modeling. This approach helps save approximately 50% of the time spent on the assessment.
- Gathers traffic and air quality data from seven different sources
- Shares gathered data on a unified map
- Selects data for the user
- Provides document workflow in cooperation with transportation consultants
- Generates ADMS model inputs
- Creates content for baseline assessments that do not require professional expertise
Real-world examples of AI applications in air quality monitoring
At Airly, we are committed to dialogue, which is why we continually engage with our users—air quality consultants, local authorities, and institutions dedicated to improving air quality. We have conducted numerous conversations and extensive market research to identify gaps and deliver game-changing solutions. We believe that Airly AI addresses these needs by assisting AQ consultants with tedious tasks and helping them gather and display data clearly.
Airly AI: work smarter, not harder
AI technology has redefined how we organize and complete our work. With the help of Airly AI, AQ consultants can complete their assessments in hours instead of weeks, without compromising quality, autonomy, or compliance with local regulations. We are confident that this innovative and much-needed step will elevate the air quality industry to the next level.
