‘Ask G’ is now available to use on Gary Maas’ official website garymaas.org.au. ‘Ask G' is an advanced tool crafted to provide prompt and accessible responses to constituent enquiries.
This innovative tool will support the way people engage with their local representative online. It’s an additional contact option, working alongside in-person contact to the office as well as emails and phone calls.
‘Ask G’ provides efficient query resolution, tailored to common questions and personalised to the Narre Warren South electorate.
It also has some useful multilingual support catering to a range of languages, as well as speech to text functions.
‘Ask G’ will help people navigate the three levels of government and guide them to the relevant resource, department and contact based on their concern.
Gary Maas emphasises that 'Ask G' complements existing communication channels and all important information should be confirmed. As an AI assistant, it is constantly under development and continuously learning.
This AI assistant represents an exciting step towards further enhancing support for our local community.
