Problem the AI is intended to solve
Workforce enablement and efficiency through the implementation of Generative AI / Large Language Models (LLM)
Expected benefits

This translates to cost savings and allows agents to focus on higher-priority tasks. Enhancing Decision-Making: Providing quick and accurate access to relevant information will improve the quality and consistency of decisions across the agency.
System outputs
Generative LLM applications deployed in a stand alone capacity or embedded in existing systems that will allow users to upload, search, summarize documents, conduct advanced searches, and identify similar language in documents and receive natural language-style outputs in response to their prompts.
