Every technical problem for council employees brings their ability to improve the lives of residents to a halt. And keeping hundreds of council employees online is no simple task.

These problems often have a quick fix, but with ticket backlogs unmanageable, response times are at an all-time low. With AI, users can self-serve the answers to their problems fast and you can deploy it fast too as the technology plugs into your front-end systems. No complex systems changes are needed, simply plug and play.
