Intelligent Document Search for Public Services

Help social care teams find answers instantly across assessments, care plans, and policies using secure AI search built for local authorities

Challenge

Adult social care teams work with complex case files, assessments, and guidance spread across multiple systems. Finding the right information quickly is difficult and often slows down decision-making

Our approach

Tovie AI turns your adult social care documents into a secure, searchable knowledge hub using RAG-based AI. Staff ask questions in plain language and receive answers grounded in official council information

Impact

Less time spent searching and more time supporting people. Teams work with consistent, up-to-date information even during high demand and staff turnover

Use cases

Social workers can quickly reference care assessments, eligibility criteria, and statutory guidance

Managers and duty teams can search policies and procedures during live cases

New staff can use the knowledge hub for onboarding and day-to-day decision support

Care Assessments at Richmond and Wandsworth Councils

Solution

Richmond and Wandsworth Councils ran a three-month pilot with Tovie AI to support unpaid carers through a digital care assessment and information service. Carers can access support 24/7 via voice or text, complete assessment questions, and receive guidance tailored to local services, with seamless escalation to council staff when needed.

Results

Behind the service, Tovie’s solution connects the AI to care assessment guidance, eligibility criteria, and council documents, ensuring accurate responses grounded in official information. The approach helps adult social care teams capture assessment data in real-time and focus staff time on addressing complex needs rather than gathering initial information

FAQ

What types of government organisations can use this solution?

The platform is designed for local authorities, councils, and public sector organisations working with sensitive documentation, including adult social care, children services, and related departments.

Is this suitable for adult social care data and assessments?

Yes. The system is designed to handle care assessments, care plans, and statutory guidance in secure environments aligned with public sector requirements.

Can this replace an existing document management system?

No. It works alongside existing systems and layers intelligent search on top of them, improving access without disrupting current workflows.

How does the AI ensure answers are accurate?

Answers are generated only from uploaded documents using retrieval augmented generation. This ensures responses are grounded in approved content rather than general AI knowledge.

How is sensitive data protected?

The solution supports on premise and private cloud deployment, ensuring data remains within council controlled infrastructure.

Can different teams see different information?

Yes. Role based access control allows services, teams, or departments to have different permissions.

What happens when documents are updated or removed?

New documents are indexed automatically. Removing a document immediately removes it from search results without retraining.

How quickly can this be implemented?

A pilot can be launched in a matter of days, allowing teams to test document automation in a real environment.

Does this work during high demand periods?

Yes. The platform is designed to handle high volumes of simultaneous queries without performance degradation.
