Selecting the Right LLM for Local Government Workflows is a practical, hands-on course designed for city, county, and special district staff who need clear guidance on which AI tool to use and when. Instead of theory, you’ll get a simple decision path that maps your goal—writing, research, real-time monitoring, or workspace/data tasks—to the model that fits best: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, or Gemini. You’ll learn proven prompt patterns, validation steps, and recordkeeping practices aligned with public-sector constraints like data sensitivity, citations, and open records. Through department-specific examples (Public Works, Animal Control, Community Planning & Economic Development, and Health) and realistic scenarios, you’ll practice turning tasks into repeatable workflows you can run today. By the end, you’ll confidently choose and justify a model for your task, design a validation checklist, and execute a short pilot that demonstrates value while protecting trust, privacy, and accuracy. If you’ve wondered how to safely put AI to work for notices, memos, vendor comparisons, trend checks, or spreadsheet workflows in Google Workspace, this course gives you the playbook—and the confidence—to do it right.
