Our AI Journey

Strategic Innovation for User Journeys and Life Events

We're a strategic innovation team working within government to modernize how services are delivered around life events—like starting a family, retiring, or dealing with the death of a loved one.

Journey Labs is our state-of-the-art AI platform that empowers public sector employees with intelligent tools to streamline, improve, and reimagine government services. By combining advanced large language models with human-centered design principles, we're equipping teams across departments with capabilities previously inaccessible to government—from generating realistic persona simulations to analyzing regulatory text for readability and impact. These tools allow subject matter experts to focus on strategic work while AI handles repetitive tasks, ultimately creating more efficient paths for Canadians navigating complex service journeys.

AI-Aware

We understand what AI is and what's possible. Our team continuously researches emerging technologies to identify opportunities for public sector innovation.

AI-Enabled

We use AI internally to assist and accelerate our work. Our team leverages AI tools to enhance productivity and improve government service design.

AI-Shaping

We're laying the foundation to eventually build AI tools that transform how services are delivered to Canadians, with a focus on transparency and public service values.

Behind the Scenes Innovation

While we're not deploying AI directly to the public just yet, we're applying it behind the scenes in powerful ways:

  • Journey simulation for prototyping

    Creating realistic user journeys through complex service interactions

  • Plain language analysis

    Improving content accessibility and readability for all Canadians

  • Deep data insights

    Supporting content and design decisions with advanced analytics

  • Training for government staff

    Helping teams understand services and programs more effectively

  • Agile team assistance

    Creating detailed user stories with advanced AI models

  • Cross-jurisdictional analysis

    Identifying service gaps between federal and provincial systems

These tools are built using a combination of LLMs and best-in-class standardized technologies—prioritizing transparency, trust, and public service values.
