Introducing Rose — 24/7 support for our community.

Many in our community already know Rose as the chatbot on our website, helping answer questions online. In mid-December, we expanded Rose's role by introducing her to our phone service as well. Rose is available to take calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so support is always available.

Rose is not replacing our Customer Service team. She assists with routine enquiries, helping callers get answers faster and allowing our staff to focus on more complex matters that need a human touch. This has already helped reduce call times and improve overall service.

If Rose can't answer a question, she transfers the call directly to Customer Service. Our staff can see a transcript of the conversation, so customers don't need to repeat themselves.

Devonport City Council is proud to be the first council in Tasmania to use this technology, created by Cassie AI. It's a practical, forward-thinking step that reflects our commitment to innovation and better service for our community.
