Imagine walking into your office and the day’s tasks are already piling up: drafting a new policy memo, responding to internal inquiries, and sifting through data from a recent survey.
But instead of scrambling to get it all done, you launch AIBots and your custom AI assistants jump in, handling routine tasks.
Now you’re free to focus on the bigger challenges!

Designed specifically for the public sector, AIBots offers a practical solution by streamlining and automating everyday tasks.

Whether it’s drafting speeches or answering internal policy questions, AIBots allows you to create custom chatbots that fit your needs.

2. Customised, Tailored Internal Knowledge
Upload your agency’s internal documents and let your custom AIBot access and reference agency-specific information. This means that your AIBot can provide accurate and context-specific responses aligned with organisational policies and procedures.
