NeoJapan and neoAI Enhancing Census Management in Kanagawa
In an innovative move, NeoJapan and neoAI have joined forces to assist the Kanagawa Prefecture Statistics Center with the 2025 National Census. By integrating the no-code app creation tool,
AppSuite, and the generative AI platform,
neoAI Chat, these companies aim to streamline operations and improve inquiry responses.
The Challenge of Traditional Methods
Historically, staff at the Kanagawa Statistics Center addressed inquiries about the census by individually referencing manuals and guidelines provided by the government. This method not only posed challenges related to the varying skill levels of the workers—resulting in inconsistent response quality—but also led to inefficiencies from frequent manual consultations for similar inquiries. Recognizing these challenges, the Kanagawa Statistics Center sought a method to standardize processes and enhance overall efficiency.
A Technological Solution
To tackle these issues, the center employed
AppSuite for the development of dedicated inquiry management and inventory management apps. The inquiry management app simplifies the process by organizing response histories and allowing concurrent edits by multiple employees. Meanwhile, the inventory management application enables the center to track census supplies received from the government, maintaining records for each municipality's inventory and highlighting when reorders are necessary as stock levels diminish. This comprehensive system ensures a seamless inventory process and enhances operational effectiveness.
Additionally, the integration of
neoAI Chat allows for the creation of a specialized chatbot trained on various administrative guidelines. This AI-powered assistant can provide responses utilizing key documents and expert knowledge, ensuring consistent quality of responses across staff members while also reducing the need for exhaustive manual reference checks.
Continuous Improvement and Support
What sets apart the FAQ chatbot offered by neoAI Chat is its user-friendly interface that allows for easy tuning of AI responses and terminology registration. This flexibility empowers the staff to continuously refine the accuracy and relevance of responses, particularly for specialized inquiries, significantly alleviating the burden on officials and enhancing the quality of public services.
NeoJapan and neoAI are committed to providing flexible and responsive service offerings tailored to improve the convenience for users of public administrative services and contribute to the reform of work practices in local government. Together, they are setting new standards in the public sector, aimed at driving efficiency and improving the overall citizen experience.
