Quarterbacking AI chatbot development for a digital legal information organization
People’s Law School provides plain language information online and in print on retail legal topics (think: consumer issues, money and debt, neighbours). But how can their content be adapted for web-chat and optimized for a younger audience? Enter Beagle.
This project brought together technology consultants, lawyers, copywriters and designers to “train” a robot to have empathy and provide folks with manageable next steps to solve legal problems on their own.
1. Orient
Holistic, two-week period of expectation setting to align funders, content creators, and the public
2. Write
Writing and editing prompts to ensure the bot had the right tone and cadence
3. Test
Testing of the chatbot on various metrics (safety or responses, actionability, helpfulness, etc.) and along many different types of law to ensure user safety and satisfaction
4. Iterate
Ongoing tweaks to prompts and upgrades to the underlying AI model
Getting the board to do
good work
Boards come in many shapes and sizes. But they all need a clear sense of purpose. For this government organization (a municipality), meetings lacked structure, the board’s role was poorly defined, and the chief executive was not being properly evaluated.
Over six months, new processes were designed. These weren’t your typical board manuals — user-centric design principles provided board members with guidelines that worked, and continue to work, in practice.
1 Consult
One on one interviews with key staff and board members to understand nuanced needs
2 Prepare
Created new policies and procedures, along with structural recommendations to improve how the board works
3 Implement
Group sessions to flesh out better meeting practices and explore how their board can be most effective
4 Follow up
Annual orientation retreats and quarterly update calls to improve, get rid of, or create new ways to keep the board on track
