The Most Underrated AI Tool for Accuracy, Insight and Storytelling (and it’s free)

Abstract

Everyone’s talking about AI, but most tools still fall short on what matters most to data and insights teams: accuracy, trust and traceability. This session showcases a free Google platform built specifically for councils to analyse their own reports, dashboards and datasets with evidence-based precision. From policy analysis to storytelling, you’ll see how it turns dense information into reports, mind maps and media that make complex ideas clear, engaging and shareable.
