What is this?

ASSIST is the real-time GovWorx solution for supporting call takers and dispatchers with the relevant information that they need at the time of need. The product listens to and transcribes live audio, analyzes call content using AI, and surfaces the most relevant guidance, questions, and agency-specific instructions to the call-taker or dispatcher at the moment they are needed.

ASSIST does not replace existing CAD, call-handling, or radio systems. Instead, it integrates alongside them to:

  • Provide real-time assistance with ECC-specific Guidecards, policies, memos, and more

  • Reduce cognitive load during high-stress calls

  • Improve consistency in questioning and instructions

  • Support protocol adherence without forcing rigid workflows

  • Capture structured data for downstream QA and evaluation

Why am I learning this?

This module shows you what ASSIST can do, how it supports call-takers and dispatchers during live events, and what users experience from their perspective during a call.

  • Configure Guidecards and upload them into the Knowledge feature
