Government caseworkers just got a quiet AI win — and it looks nothing like what the vendors are selling you.
You've probably been there. Signed up for an AI tool with big promises. Paid the monthly fee. Watched it collect digital dust because nobody on your team actually knew how to use it in their daily work.
That's not a you problem. That's a design problem.
Here's what's interesting about this government case study. A civic tech company built an AI tool that answers one specific question for caseworkers: what are the current SNAP benefits rules right now, across federal, state, and county levels? That's it. One job. One clear use case. Workers adopted it because it solved a real daily frustration.
This is the pattern behind every AI implementation that actually sticks. Not the broadest tool. The narrowest one. The one that removes a specific daily headache your team already complains about.
Start there. Pick one task your team does repeatedly that requires looking something up or summarizing information. That's your first AI test — not a platform overhaul, just one use case you can measure in 30 days.
What's one repetitive task in your business that still runs on manual lookups or copy-paste work?
