Introducing Esper’s Smart Search – Transforming Policy Navigation with AI
Esper has announced the release of Smart Search, a revolutionary tool purpose-built for government organizations to simplify how users interact with complex policy and regulation content. Unlike broad-market AI chatbots and generic search tools, Smart Search is designed specifically for the nuanced needs of the public sector. By leveraging advanced AI, it delivers precise, actionable answers to conversational queries, empowering governments to operate more effectively and deliver better outcomes for citizens.
Addressing a Critical Need for Government Policy Accessibility
For public sector organizations managing extensive and intricate policy libraries, locating the right information can be time-consuming and frustrating. Traditional keyword-based searches often yield hundreds or thousands of results, leaving users overwhelmed and uncertain about relevance. Smart Search tackles these challenges by allowing users to ask questions in natural language and receive clear, AI-generated answers tied directly to the policies in question.
This capability is a significant step forward in helping governments streamline operations, reduce errors, and drive better outcomes for their communities. By providing clarity and accuracy, Smart Search enhances decision-making processes across government teams.
Example Use Cases:
- Employees seeking clarity on workplace policies (e.g., “Do I have to work on Juneteenth?”).
- Citizens navigating public regulations (e.g., “What is the maximum size of a billboard in Tennessee?”).
- Managers requiring accurate, timely, and repeatable answers for their teams.
- Field-based staff accessing policy information on the go.
Why Smart Search is Better for Governments
While generic AI tools often provide broad, generalized responses, Esper’s Smart Search is purpose-built to handle the complexities of government policies. Its tailored approach ensures that answers are not only accurate but also contextualized within the unique frameworks of public sector operations. Additionally, it provides:
- Hyperlinked References: Answers link directly to source documents, offering transparency and traceability.
- Search History and Bookmarks: Users can revisit and save searches, improving efficiency and collaboration.
- Audit Trails: Built-in tracking ensures accountability, which is critical in government workflows.
By focusing on policy relevance and accuracy, Smart Search reduces the noise often associated with generic tools, helping government employees and citizens find the right information faster and with greater confidence.
Advancing Esper’s Mission to Drive Better Outcomes for Citizens
Smart Search exemplifies Esper’s mission to help governments become more effective in delivering value to their communities. By simplifying access to policy information, this capability empowers government employees to spend less time searching for answers and more time focusing on initiatives that benefit citizens. Whether it’s ensuring compliance, supporting decision-making, or streamlining public services, Smart Search represents a leap forward in making government operations more impactful and efficient.
Built for Everyone, with Accuracy at Its Core
Whether you’re a policy administrator, manager, or public-facing employee, Smart Search is designed to enhance productivity, reduce errors, and build confidence in policy interpretation and use.
