One model for the work in front of you.

Pick the service your team works in. Each model works from that service’s law, guidance and forms, writes the way it writes, and shows its source with every answer.

Local councils and combined authorities

Local Government

Planning, housing, waste and licensing, with the correspondence that goes with them.

Housing officer: A resident is asking why her homelessness application is taking so long. Draft a reply. Local Government: Dear Ms Okafor, Thank you for your message. Your application is at the relief stage. The law normally gives the council 56 days from the day we were satisfied that you are homeless and eligible for assistance to help you find somewhere suitable to live, so that period is due to end on 14 November, although it can end earlier or continue longer depending on your circumstances. Your housing officer will write to you by Friday with the options found so far. Source: Housing Act 1996, s.189B

  • Drafts resident correspondenceIt writes in plain English and in the council’s voice, and names the policy behind the answer.
  • Turns policy into an answerReads statutory guidance and tenancy law and says what it means for the case in front of the officer.
  • Routes the enquiryAnswers “which service, which form, which team” for everything the council runs.

Three ways to use it

Put the model inside your own systems: case management, web forms, contact centres and back-office tools.

Sovereignty and control

UK infrastructure.
Built to be trusted.

Know where your model runs, how your data is used and how your team can review its work.

  • Sovereign by design

    Built, hosted and maintained in the UK by the Institute of AI.

  • Never trained on your data

    Your prompts and documents are never used to train, tune or improve the model.

  • Secure by default

    Encrypted in transit and at rest, with an audit trail for every request and every answer.

  • Flags what’s missing

    If your notes or documents are missing a detail the draft needs, the model flags it and asks you to confirm.

  • Grounded in applicable law and guidance

    Draws on the statutory guidance, law and standards that apply here, not transplanted from somewhere else.

  • Shows its working

    Every answer names the service it belongs to and the policy or guidance it rests on, so a person can check it.

Questions

What happens to what we send?

It is used to answer your request and nothing else. It is never used to train, tune or improve a model. It is encrypted in transit and at rest, and every request and answer is recorded so you can see what was asked and what came back.

Where does the model run?

In the UK. Each model is built, hosted and maintained in the UK by the Institute of AI.

Does the model replace professional judgement?

No. The model drafts, checks and prepares. Your team reviews the draft, checks the source it names, and remains responsible for the decision.

Can one organisation use more than one model?

Yes. A council might run the Local Government model for resident services and the Social Care model for casework. Each model stays separate, so the answers stay grounded in the right law and guidance.

How do we access a model?

Access is by request. Tell the Institute of AI which organisation you work for and what you would use a model for. Every model is available through a secure chat workspace, an API or agents.
