AI chatbot for city services
Summary
Newport City Hall is rolling out an AI chatbot to help residents find city information faster. If you’ve ever gotten stuck digging through the city website, this is meant to give you quicker answers. The catch is that it’s only useful if people can actually access and use it.

Impact analysis
The city will likely incur modest technology and setup costs, with possible savings if the chatbot reduces routine staff time spent answering basic questions.
Residents who want quick answers and city staff who field repetitive questions could both benefit.
People without reliable internet access or digital literacy could be left behind if the chatbot becomes a main way to get city info.
