A huge thanks to Quilpie Shire Council for having our AI Specialist Trainer, Mario Cortés, at council this month to provide a workshop on Artificial Intelligence and how it can lighten the load for busy rural teams. Staff went from “curious but unsure” to completing tasks in seconds instead of hours.

The biggest win of the day? Time. Time saved on reports, research, and planning the everyday work that keeps rural councils running.
