Developing Research Repo AI Chatbot for better learning and planning for products

[sstrassberg]

• After developing a proof of concept for an internal research chatbot, we are waiting to get technical support to scale and automate it.
• Support may come from OCTO AI team or a USDS detailee.
• This initiative will allow a user to have a conversational query about completed research that can help find gaps and opportunity areas in our product development.
• It can write executive summaries or stories from completed human written research reports
• It can map to existing OCTO OKRs and provide some basic research analysis.
• As AI models continue to become better at analytical reasoning, we can train this research chatbot to assist in planning, conducting in-session support, and speed up the synthesis and analysis phase of research, then connect the key findings to our desired outcomes.
