Find out more: https://govassist.co.uk/
Overview:
AI is everywhere in the headlines, but what does it actually do for a council on a Tuesday morning? GovAssist is our AI assistant built for local government, and this session cuts through the noise to show it doing real council work — drafting responses, summarising planning documents, helping with grant applications, and answering the questions that usually mean digging through folders. Whether you’re brand new to GovAssist or already have it and want to get more from it, you’ll leave with practical ways to put it to work.
