About Voidgap

Public sector

Faster service,
same law.

Municipalities, districts, state and federal authorities and public companies. Retirements, the Online Access Act, and data that has to stay sovereign.

01 · Topics

What keeps
you busy.

The topics that come up first when AI meets this industry. If one sounds familiar, that is where we start.

  • 01The retirement wave

    Experienced staff leave, and with them the knowledge of how things are really done. Posts stay empty.

  • 02Applications without end

    Forms, attachments, queries. Most of the time goes into checking completeness, not into deciding.

  • 03Sovereignty and procurement

    Data has to stay under control, and every tool needs a procurement procedure. That slows down even good ideas.

02 · Examples

Where AI
earns its keep.

Input, action, result. The places we would look first, because the work is repetitive, the data exists and a person still signs off.

  • 01Citizen service assistant

    Questions on the website → answered from your service descriptions with the source → staff handle what needs a decision.

  • 02Application pre-check

    Application with attachments → completeness checked, data extracted → the case worker decides.

  • 03Regulation assistant

    Laws, ordinances and internal instructions → answers with the paragraph → faster onboarding for new staff.

  • 04Minutes and summaries

    Recordings and notes of meetings → draft minutes and summaries → the secretary checks and publishes.

Questions
from this industry.

Short answers. Anything else goes into your request.

Can we run AI without a US cloud?

Yes. Open models can run on-premises or in a sovereign cloud. We compare quality and effort for your use case.

How does procurement work with you?

Within the procurement rules that apply to you. Small pilots often fit below the thresholds; larger projects follow your procedure.

Does the staff council have to agree?

If the AI can monitor behaviour or performance, usually yes, under the staff representation law that applies to you. We plan it in from the start.
