The Local Government Bottleneck

Council service centres are under pressure from repetitive enquiries, seasonal spikes, and after-hours emergencies.

Long Call Queues

Residents forced to wait on hold for 20+ minutes just to ask simple questions about waste or rates.

Seasonal Spikes

Call centres overwhelmed during rate notice periods, hard waste collections, or severe weather events.

After-Hours Hazards

Limited capacity to quickly triage urgent reports like fallen trees, floods, or stray animals after 5 PM.

Language Barriers

Struggling to provide accessible, instant customer service to Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities.

Automated issue logging

How It Works

A secure, compliant automation pipeline designed to integrate perfectly with council infrastructure.

Step 01

Keep your council hotline

Your primary council phone number remains exactly the same. Residents call the number they already know and trust.

Step 02

Intelligent call routing

Calls route to Daina AI either as the first point of contact, as overflow when hold times exceed 3 minutes, or automatically after-hours.

Step 03

AI resolves standard queries

The AI acts as a Level 1 service officer, handling up to 60% of common queries instantly:

  • • Bin collection dates & hard waste bookings
  • • Rate payment options & extensions
  • • Pet registration procedures
  • • Facility opening hours & locations

Step 04

Logs service requests

For reports like potholes or graffiti, the AI collects the location and details, then submits the ticket directly into the council's CRM for the maintenance team.

Step 05

Human transfer for complex issues

Complex planning permit questions, sensitive community matters, or frustrated residents are instantly live-transferred to human service officers.

Step 06

Enterprise systems integration

Data securely syncs with local government platforms like TechnologyOne, Civica, or Pathways, ensuring no double-handling of resident information.

Step 07

Deploy without disruption

Daina AI maps your existing council bylaws, FAQs, and routing trees, launching a tailored public-facing assistant in a fraction of standard IT timelines.
