TIRED OF DOING TEDIOUS, SOUL-KILLING WORK?
Public works is the backbone of our communities, yet the people responsible for keeping things running smoothly are buried under mountains of paperwork, redundant processes, and outdated systems that waste time and taxpayer dollars.
I’ve heard this story over and over again.
As a professor and speaker at industry conferences with over 20 years in the industry, I’ve had countless conversations with Public Works Directors, city officials, and frontline teams all saying the same thing:
- “We spend more time on admin work than actually improving infrastructure.”
- “Our budgets are stretched thin, and hiring more staff isn’t an option.”
- “We’re still manually processing work orders, permits, and reports—it’s a nightmare.”
That’s when I knew there had to be a better way.
What if you could train an AI-powered assistant to handle the heavy lifting—without breaking the budget or overhauling your entire system?
That’s exactly what
Generative AI for Public Works does.
- Work orders & service requests? AI processes and assigns them instantly—no more delays or missing paperwork.
- Resident inquiries? AI handles 80% of them automatically, freeing up staff for more important work.
- Reports & budget tracking? AI pulls and formats the data in minutes, saving hours of manual work.
- Permit processing? No more back-and-forth—AI streamlines approvals and documentation effortlessly.
- The result? Cities and municipalities reclaim dozens of hours per week, cut administrative costs, and redirect tax dollars to real infrastructure projects instead of wasting them on outdated manual processes.
AI isn’t here to take jobs—it’s here to take the mindless work off your plate so you and your team can focus on what actually matters.

How real is the need?
Across Public Works, people need to know how to get the best out of the AI tools they have available to them. Too often now, they do not even know what those tools are, never mind how to use them.

"I think education is key. People don’t know the capacities of what AI can actually be used for, and that leads to fear or hesitation in using it."

"I want to learn as much as I can about how AI will help Public Works. We have workforce struggles, and I believe AI has its place somewhere, but we need to figure out where and how."

"Some of my employees submit AI-generated documents without reviewing them. They don’t realize they need to touch it and make it theirs. That’s a training issue."
