AI assistant for facilities-project funding requests
National Park Service reported funding paperwork falling from 2 to 3 days to a few hours
Problem
Preparing funding requests for routine maintenance could take facilities staff 2 to 3 days. Requests needed information about project scope and compliance requirements.
Approach
A facilities employee used approved Interior Department tools to build a custom AI assistant after receiving AI training. A form gathered project details and generated a funding-request document. Supervisors reviewed the document before submission, and facilities projects across the country used the tool.
Results
Takeaway
Drafting became faster while supervisors retained review responsibility. The annual labor-saving estimate was a forecast.
