😟 Gov search often gives too many results, not enough answers. AI-powered search understands context, helping users find exactly what they need—like a budget update—faster. Less frustration, better UX. 💡

📚🤖 AI in Education: Skill or Shortcut? 92% of students use AI daily. Schools must guide ethical, creative use—teaching AI as a skill, not just banning it as a shortcut.

For mission-driven orgs, the “how” matters as much as the “what.” Use AI to assist, not control. Be transparent with data, monitor for bias, and ensure personalization builds trust — not manipulates it. 🌟

Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering
The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME), a joint program of Georgia Tech and Emory University, partnered with Electric Citizen to redesign its website from the ground up. The previous site struggled with navigation, outdated design, and inconsistent content that didn’t reflect BME’s reputation or joint university brand.

Website projects are exciting—but also complex. Whether it’s a redesign or a brand-new build, they often span 6-12 months, involve dozens of decisions, and need coordination across multiple teams.

Make sure you have the right process, people and priorities set.
