Mission

Topic area: Information Technology
Operational functions: Chatbot or virtual assistant Derived by keyword rules; see methodology

Problem the AI is intended to solve

The AI Agent Orchestrator solves the problem that current chatbots are limited to question-and-answer interactions and cannot orchestrate complex, multi-step analytical workflows that require calling external data science notebooks and tools in the correct sequence to solve sophisticated problems.

Expected benefits

The AI Agent Orchestrator will transform CMS's analytical capabilities by enabling any staff member to execute sophisticated, multi-step data science workflows through natural language interactions, eliminating the current barrier of requiring specialized technical expertise to access complex analytical tools and notebooks.

System outputs

The output is a natural language interface that enables users to easily interact with complex data science tooling and analytical workflows without requiring specialized knowledge of the underlying systems
