How does our AI work?

Our aim is to answer any questions you may have about what’s happening in the Aix-Marseille region.

To achieve this, we have set up a generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, tailor-made for our customers.

 

  • generative means that the answers are written by the AI for each request (it’s not a bot with pre-defined answers)
  • the majority of information is found on the Internet (the quantity of information is therefore immense, but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed)
  • our AI is also nourished by documents and studies
  • a special focus on sources from our region
    artificial intelligence is in training: it’s constantly improving as your discussion progresses!
