Intro
In the future, AI platforms will help citizens achieve their goals more efficiently by understanding individual preferences and requirements, while maintaining user control and privacy over shared information.
The Challenge
People from all backgrounds—working parents, students, small business owners, and busy families—waste significant time researching and comparing options for everyday tasks like finding suitable hotels, cleaning services, sports clubs, or local businesses. Often, the information citizens need is not available online, and it can be time-consuming to manually input requirements (e.g. holiday dates, type of cleaning service required, or availability for participation in events) into different websites.
The Solution
AI assistants will help users complete tasks efficiently by learning individual preferences and requirements to provide tailored recommendations and comparisons. Users will voluntarily share information about their preferences - such as budget ranges, location requirements, eco-friendly priorities, or accessibility needs - which the AI uses to quickly find relevant options. Features will include intelligent task assistance that can liaise with multiple hotels to find eco-friendly options within specified budgets, automated comparisons of cleaning companies based on disclosed preferences for services and pricing, personalised recommendations for sports clubs that match fitness interests and schedule availability, and efficient filtering that presents only relevant options rather than overwhelming users with unsuitable choices. All this while being able to learn how it works or update their preferences simply by chatting to the Assistant..
Why This Matters
Personalised AI experiences achieve 87% satisfaction rates and reduce task completion times by 60%. Users could save hours each week by receiving pre-filtered, relevant options that match their specific criteria rather than spending time manually researching and comparing unsuitable alternatives. The AI eliminates the repetitive work of explaining preferences and requirements for each new task, allowing people to quickly complete everyday arrangements and focus on more important activities. This efficiency gain is particularly valuable for busy families and small business owners who need to make multiple arrangements but lack time for extensive research.
