Your Burning AI Questions, Now Answered

We get it, AI comes with a lot of unknown. Let us put your mind at ease. From security to eliminating jobs, here are the answers to the most common AI questions we see.

‍

What kinds of problems can AI solve for local governments?

The list is far too long to fit all potential use cases here. But, one way to think about it: AI can help with the repetitive, time-consuming tasks completed regularly. This includes answering residents most common questions, reviewing simple permits and licenses, and more.

Check out stories here of local governments seeing impressive impact with AI.

‍

How can I be sure it’s secure and accurate?

We’ve all heard horror stories about sensitive information and data hallucinations. Safely use AI by putting guardrails around what your platform has access to. For example, it can be defined to pull information only from your agency’s website, and not the rest of the internet.

‍

How long does it take to implement an AI solution? What about training?

Much faster than you think! Get up and running in less than a month with AI chat bots and phone systems. In addition, our team will make sure your entire team is trained and feels comfortable with how the AI works.

‍

How do we communicate the value of AI to residents?

Use social media, email newsletters, and local press to communicate how AI improves their experience, benefits the community, and aligns with ethical standards. And, we’ve already got templates ready to help you share the news.

‍

Will AI reduce or eliminate jobs in local government?

Absolutely not. But, it will allow you to focus on the most important parts of your job. By eliminating repetitive, time-consuming tasks, your days are opened up to focus on the work that truly impact your community.

What Public Chapter 1044 Means for Tennessee Development Review

It’s more than likely every government planning office has a dreaded, cliché pile made up of past-due site plans, development applications, inspection requests, and so on—each metaphorically tugging on your sleeve like a toddler who doesn’t see you’re on the phone. Tennessee is looking to fix that because on January 1, 2027, that nagging pile is getting a review deadline.

Navigating the AI Conversation with the Public and Elected

Most public blowups about government technology aren't really about the technology. They're about the absence of guardrails. If your community's first exposure to your AI program is a headline, you've already lost the framing.

Why Lowest Cost RFPs Often Mean More Expensive for Government

We all know this from our own buying habits. The budget option is a budget option for a reason. Sometimes it's the right call. Often it isn't. And when public bids advertise the lowest cost as the winner, it creates the wrong incentive.
