When it comes to the next generation of digital solutions for local government, providing predictive, proactive and personalised information will be key.

After installing the iOS 12 beta this summer, I saw a notification alerting me that I should call into a conference call in 12 minutes. Whilst this in itself was not unusual, the fact that the call wasn’t in my calendar was. Puzzled, I skimmed through my emails and could see that there was one where I had been asked to join a call but I hadn’t been sent a meeting invite. Using AI to scan my emails, my phone then predicted that I might want to join this call. There was more to come. When I clicked the aforementioned notification, it dialled the number and inputted the obligatory eight-digit pin and # symbol too. My mind was blown.
