Polco has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) tool built on nationwide public sector data that provides analytic and decision-making capabilities, the company announced today.

According to a release, the tool will be named “Polly” and can answer public sector leaders’ questions using real-time performance management data, comparisons and historical trends.

“Public officials earnestly want to make great decisions using data, but it’s really difficult to use public sector data,” Polco CEO Nick Mastronardi said in a statement. “Polly is changing the data analysis game by effectively adding a digital employee to the city who can track metrics, recommend budget priorities, write strategic plans – all while getting smarter with time.”

The company is currently field testing Polly and will roll out its full capabilities in May.
