Expected benefits

The purpose of the Hanford Search is to provide similar functionality to our Hanford Search application without needing multiple applications. The benefits of the AI are that there is a single interface with multiple uses and the AI can provide better, more relevant search results. Additionally, users can ask questions in natural language instead of needing to input specific search criteria.
