A hyperlocal large language model (LLM) for community for community knowledge and representation

Built with the Talbot Norfolk Triangle community in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood, this chatbot is a resource for community safety and cohesion. The model, trained on structured 311 and 911 data, policy reports and documents, and hours of community meeting and conversation data, will provide information about what’s happening, what people are thinking about, and what people can do.

PIs: Eric Gordon and Chris LeDantec, in partnership with The Boston Project Ministries
