About the Course

Artificial intelligence is changing the way organisations operate. For town, parish and community councils, it offers a practical opportunity to reduce repetitive work, find information quickly and support better decision making. This course shows you how to use AI safely and effectively within a council environment. You will learn how to write stronger prompts, use AI for everyday council tasks and build your own Council GPT assistants that can search minutes, support staff and answer common questions. The focus is practical. Everything is demonstrated using real council examples and designed for clerks, officers and councillors who want to apply AI immediately in their role. This is a living course. As AI tools evolve, new lessons and updates will be added so you and your council continue to benefit from the most useful developments during your one- year access period.
