Many 1st Generation Local Government Digital Assistants fail to answer citizen questions to an acceptable standard because of limited content, training and intelligence. This means they are ineffective tool in serving citizens and reducing contact centre call volumes.

James Marshall, Head of Customer and Communications at Southampton City council says;
“AI technology provides the opportunity for me to serve our 1.5 million customer questions in a way and at a cost that was simply not possible before. The 90%+ success rate of SOBOT in answering citizens questions supports this approach.”

Digital Engagement with Citizens using AI Assistants
Trends toward citizen digital self-service and remote working have accelerated dramatically because of the pandemic, creating an opportunity for local authorities to streamline and improve their service provisions to citizens.
To help local authorities better understand how to achieve effective digital engagement using AI Assistants and how to avoid some of the pitfalls, we have produced a White paper on Local Government Digital Engagement with Citizens using AI Assistants.
If your local authority would like to discover more about the key benefits of digital citizen engagement, and how it can benefit your council and your citizens we are also providing a detailed study on the current use of Citizen AI Assistants in Local Government and an on-demand webinar recording combining the White Paper and the Study, as well as demonstrating chatbots in action.
FLEX AI OMNI CHANNEL CITIZEN AI ASSISTANT
24/7 contact for all citizens
In home, voice first assistant
Help for vulnerable children 24/7
Before the pandemic, people who once bought in shops, met in person and worked in offices. Now they buy online, Zoom relatives and work from home. This is one of the lasting legacies of Coronavirus and will trigger a permanent societal shift to Omni Channel Engagement.
​
To help local authorities make the transition to Omni Channel engagement, we are introducing the AI Omni Channel Citizen Engagement Platform, designed to intelligently route citizens to the best engagement channel. Whether your citizens are booking a virtual planning permission appointment, transferring a child in care to mental health advisor or joining a live drop-in video call with an assisted living professional, Omni channel AI technology allows citizens to engage and interact with the council in new ways.
