AI prototype development

… technically realistically feasible within the project period, • offer relevant added value for several municipal job centres, • can be transferred to the productive operation of municipal job centres in the future, • can be presented as a visible project result before the end of the funding project. The object of the procurement is expressly not the procurement of a finished productive solution, but the development of a resilient, running prototype as a basis for a possible later implementation, scaling and consolidation. The "KI_Hub Kommunal" project supports an inter-municipal community of 16 municipal job centres in Hesse in developing skills and solutions in the field of artificial intelligence. In work package 1, operational activities, recurring administrative processes, professional workflows and organizational challenges of the participating municipal job centers were considered as part of an AI potential analysis. On this basis, AI potentials and possible use cases were identified, described and classified. The results of the AI potential analysis form the central technical basis for Work Package 2. Within Work Package 2, two methodological implementation strands are pursued: the AI regulatory sandbox for low-threshold, short-term use cases and AI prototype development for a more complex, strategically relevant use case. The subject of this procurement is AI prototype development. The aim is to design, develop and provide a running prototype (Minimum Viable Product, MVP) for a strategically relevant AI use case from the municipal job center context. The prototype is intended to demonstrate how AI technology can support, partially automate or structurally improve a technically significant and transferable use case. In particular, it shall: • address a specific technical need from municipal job centre practice, • build on the results of the AI potential analysis, • be technically and technically realistically feasible within the project period, • offer relevant added value for several municipal job centres, • can be transferred to the productive operation of municipal job centres in the future, • can be presented as a visible project result before the end of the funding project. The object of the procurement is expressly not the procurement of a finished productive solution, but the development of a resilient, running prototype as a basis for a possible later implementation, scaling and consolidation. 2. The subject of the service is the design, development, validation and provision of a running AI prototype (MVP) for a common use case to be selected within the given topic area. The Contractor's services shall include, in particular: • Participation in scoping and selection of the specific
