The challenge
The council's knowledge was spread across dozens of sources. Residents were pointed to the wrong places and handed generic answers with nothing to back them up.
Geographic data was there through APIs, but no use to anyone without a technical background.
Our approach
- 01
RAG-based AI search
Summarised answers with direct links to the source documents, so you can trace every answer back.
- 02
Environment Act at article level
The Environment Act built in right down to article level, with domain-specific intelligence that picks up on context.
- 03
Geo data and map
A link to the Den Haag Data Platform and an interactive map, for questions like 'which community gardens are near me?'.
- 04
Compliant and transferable
Built in line with DPIA, GDPR and the EU AI Act, with source management and full documentation and training handed over at delivery.
The result
Answer quality climbed from 1 to 2 out of 10 up to 8 or more out of 10. Residents reliably reach the right department, geo questions come back as map results straight away, and the architecture scales to new domains.
