Targeting AI to deliver for residents
Wednesday 26 March
11:00 - 12:00 via Teams Town Hall

Basildon zeros down on opportunities for AI-driven transformation
Basildon Council’s Resident Digital Transformation Strategy will embed digitalisation, data and AI into its very core in order to revolutionise how it delivers services to residents. Its focus is on using AI to make the council smarter, more efficient, and more responsive to the diverse needs of its community.
It recently harnessed an AI Readiness Readiness discovery- with Microsoft partner HSO - to uncover the key opportunities to make impact in its AI Trailblazer programme. Three key use cases are now rolling out:
- Policy advisor (customer services) – an autonomous agent automatically providing advice, information and policy documents, taking customers to application forms
- Policy advisor (HR, housing and customer services) – an AI agent for internal document and policy discovery to enable officers to process requests more efficiently
- Citizen services (temporary accommodation) – an AI agent providing the right information at the right time, conducting basic prequalification, and helping officers process incoming requests more efficiently
Join us at 11:00 on 26th March to learn more about this ambitious programme to harness technology to do more with less – without compromising the quality of services.
