Municipality of Neuenkirchen-Vörden saves 60 minutes per council meeting with DeutschlandGPT

The problem

The municipality wanted to harness AI efficiency gains but lacked a central, secure platform meeting strict GDPR requirements for handling sensitive citizen data, and had no expertise to systematically implement concrete use cases from day-to-day administration.

First attempt

Initial attempts using ChatGPT quickly revealed it could not meet the special requirements of a public administration, particularly around strict data protection and the security of sensitive citizen data.
