Sidekick is an AI chatbot developed by mySidewalk that answers queries about public issues. The chatbot responses are drawn from several official data sources including data from the U.S. Census Bureau, United States Department of Agriculture, and Bureau of Labor Statistics. Among its goals, it seeks to improve access to data to non-technical audiences.
A growing observatory of examples of how open data from official sources and generative artificial intelligence (AI) are intersecting across domains and geographies.
Share your project for inclusion. We seek to learn from generative AI initiatives that use open government and research data across a Spectrum of Scenarios. More information on each scenario can be found in our report: A Fourth Wave of Open Data? Exploring the Spectrum of Scenarios for Open Data and Generative AI.
