Use Case

Council & Local Authority Chatbots

Supercharge your efficiency and delight local residents with an AI-powered chatbot that answers questions instantly.

Benefits

Why councils need AI chatbots

Local authorities handle thousands of resident enquiries daily. AI chatbots reduce call volumes, improve response times, and free staff for complex casework.

Reduce contact centre calls

Enable residents to find answers on your website without needing to telephone your Contact Centre or visit in person.

24/7 resident support

Residents can report issues, check bin collections, find planning information, and access services outside office hours.

Consistent answers

AI provides the same accurate, up-to-date information every time, regardless of which channel the resident uses to get in touch.

Capabilities

What our council chatbots handle

From waste and recycling to planning and council tax, covering the services residents ask about most.

Waste and recycling

Bin collection schedules, missed collections, recycling guidance, and bulky waste bookings handled conversationally.

Council tax

Payment information, account queries, discounts and exemptions, and signposting to relevant forms and portals.

Planning and licensing

Guide residents through planning application status, permitted development queries, and licensing requirements.

Housing and repairs

Report repairs, check housing application status, and find information about housing options and support.

Report issues

Residents report potholes, fly-tipping, noise complaints, and other environmental issues through guided conversation flows.

Smart escalation

When the chatbot cannot resolve an issue, it hands over to a human agent with full context so the resident does not need to repeat themselves.
