AI for local government

Helping councils work smarter with AI

We help council teams save hours every week by putting AI to work on the tasks that eat their time.

Stretched thin, growing demands

Your team is being asked to do more with less. Budgets are flat, workloads aren't.

AI is everywhere, but where do you start?

You've heard the promises. You've seen the demos. But you need something that works within government compliance, not a startup experiment.

No time to figure it out alone

Between reporting, compliance, and daily operations, there's no bandwidth to research, test, and implement AI tools from scratch.

Only 0% of Australian local governments have progressed to meaningful AI adoption.

The councils that move now won't just save time — they'll set the standard.

How we can help

At an organisational level

Services that change how a team or department operates.

AI Readiness Assessment

Not sure where AI fits? We audit your workflows, identify the biggest opportunities, and deliver a prioritised plan your team can act on.

Workflow Automation

We build AI-powered automations for the tasks eating your time — report drafting, feedback analysis, enquiry handling, document processing. One workflow at a time, built and documented.

Staff AI Training

Hands-on workshops for your team. Not 'what is AI' — practical tool use for comms officers, planners, admin teams, and managers. Role-specific, not generic.

AI Policy & Governance

Need an AI usage policy? We help you create practical guidelines — approved tools, data handling, content review, risk management. Aligned with LGITSA and Australian Government frameworks.

At an individual level

Services for professionals who want to personally adopt AI.

Personal AI Assistant

Your own AI assistant that lives in your messaging app. It learns your preferences, connects to your tools, and gets better over time. Always available, always private.

AI Quick Start Session

90 minutes, one-on-one. We set up AI tools for your specific role, create custom prompts, and show you how to brief AI effectively. You walk away working faster.

In practice

0hrs0min

Your comms team is spending 6+ hours a week on media releases and community updates. With a custom AI workflow matched to your style guide, that drops to 90 minutes — reviewing and refining instead of writing from scratch.

Design studio background — everything we deliver looks and works like it should.

How we handle the hard questions

Data Security

We never process sensitive data through third-party AI tools without explicit approval and security review.

Government Compliance

All recommendations align with the Australian Government's AI policy framework and LGITSA guidelines.

Human in the Loop

Every AI output is reviewed by your team before it goes anywhere. Humans stay in the loop.

Capability, Not Dependency

We train your staff to be confident with AI, not reliant on us. After we leave, your team keeps the tools and the knowledge.
