Why Local Government Should Consider Conversational AI

As citizens increasingly enjoy the convenience of AI-powered self-service environments, they expect similar efficiency from their local councils. VIcom, a leading technology solutions integrator, has recognized and met this need by providing cutting-edge Conversational AI solutions designed specifically for local government communications.

 

Local councils manage a wide range of services and processes, many of which can benefit from automation. Take, for example, routine requests such as inquiries about bin collections, parking fines, or council tax. Fleets with automated response solutions powered by Conversational AI can manage these common asks, freeing up council staff for tasks requiring human intervention.

 

The biggest hurdle many organizations face in adopting Conversational AI is determining where to start. Vicom partners with companies like 8×8 who make this process simple.
