For many local governments, traditional town halls aren't working. Public input is essential, but how do you engage an entire community and make sense of the feedback? In Warren County, KY, we partnered with local leaders to prove AI could be the answer. Using Jigsaw's Sensemaker, powered by Google’s Gemini models on Vertex AI, they hosted one of the largest digital town halls in U.S. history, analyzing an unprecedented amount of public input for their 25-year plan. With Google AI, Warren County was able to: ✅ Understand ~4,000 unique ideas and over 1 million opinions from residents. ✅ Save an average of 28 days of manual analysis. ✅ Identify clear community priorities, like riverfront development and support for the arts. By turning thousands of voices into actionable insights, Warren County is now better equipped to plan for its future. Read the full case study to learn how they did it. #GooglePublicSector #Jigsaw #GovTech #AIforGood #CommunityEngagement #DigitalTransformation #SmartCities #LocalGov #Gemini #VertexAI https://google.smh.re/50QJ
