AI assistants for public administration Artificial intelligence, built around citizens

We design digital assistants and custom software that connect to traditional phone lines, messaging apps such as WhatsApp, and modern websites. Citizens get answers in seconds, and offices get their time back.

The context

Public counters can no longer carry the load

Caseloads grow; headcount does not. The result is familiar: engaged lines, queues at the counter, and citizens left unsatisfied. These are the figures that come out of our analysis.

68%Unanswered callsThe share of calls a mid-sized public relations office cannot handle at peak times.
7 minAverage wait at the counterAverage time before speaking to an operator for a routine request.
80%Repetitive questionsRequests about hours, forms, deadlines, and case status that do not need a human decision.

One assistant, every channel

Bianca answers where citizens already are

No app to download, no sign-up. Bianca lives on the channels people already use every day.

Phone switchboard

Answers the phone in a natural voice, with no touch-tone menu, giving useful information and guiding the person through their request.

WhatsApp

For anyone who prefers a text conversation, WhatsApp is the natural fit. Everything stays within reach.

Website chat

A lightweight widget that fits into the existing portal and talks to users by text and voice.

Appointment booking

Not only conversations, but also more complex tasks such as bookings and reports.

How it works

From analysis to going live

We do not ask you to change internal processes. We start from the ones you already have and make them available outside counter hours.

01

Phase 01

We analyse real requests

We start from your data: call volumes, contact types, documents on the public website, and regulations. From there we map the situation and design a solution around your processes, not a generic template.

Requests recorded in the last 90 days

  • Office hours and locations92%
  • TARI and tax deadlines74%
  • Electronic identity card61%
  • Waste collection calendar48%
  • Status of a building permit27%
02

Phase 02

We configure and test it with you

We train Bianca on your document base, connect the case system and appointment calendar, and agree with you when a person should take over. Before launch, you test it on real cases.

Knowledge acquired

  • TARI regulation 2026
  • Published council resolutions
  • FAQ on the institutional portal
  • Counter appointment calendar

03

Phase 03

We go live, measure, and improve

Only after testing does the service go online. From then on you can monitor volumes, the topics people ask about most, and the channels they use. With that information, we keep improving.

Who it is for

Built for organisations that deliver public services

Bianca is designed for the problem shared by every body that handles a high volume of contact with the public.

Municipalities and unions of municipalities

Registry, local taxes, private building permits, social services, and local police, with a single point of contact for the citizen.

Healthcare authorities

Bookings, exam preparation, collecting results, and clinic hours without overloading the booking centre.

Universities and training bodies

Student offices, enrolment deadlines, fees, and grants for the right to study.

Water services

Meter readings, fault reports, and account transfers handled in conversation.

Waste services

Collection calendar, bulky-item pickup, and recycling-centre drop-off: typically the historic peak in call volume.

Chambers of commerce and other bodies

Company-register filings, calls for funding, grants, and help completing online forms.

Why 4TownLab

Software for public administration, built by people who know it

We do not adapt a commercial chatbot to the public sector. We start from the constraints of public administration and build a solution that takes them into account.

Compliance as the starting point

GDPR, AgID guidelines, and the ACN minimum security measures are project requirements, not certificates added afterwards.

Data that stays in Europe

Infrastructure hosted in European data centres, with logical separation of data between organisations and no transfer to third parties.

It integrates, it does not replace

We connect to the document system, the appointment calendar, and the portal you already use, without forced migrations.

Genuinely accessible

Every detail is designed to be accessible, from the web experience to the voice on a phone call.
