A conversational chatbot—available in Arabic and English—guides users through services, answers questions, and offers real-time assistance. Predictive analytics are used to anticipate user needs, such as reminding residents about upcoming license renewals or suggesting services based on user profiles and prior interactions.
The platform enables users to complete multiple transactions in one session, including bill payments, document renewals, and healthcare bookings. Behind the scenes, data analytics tools like Microsoft Power BI help the government monitor user engagement and identify areas for improvement.
Built on Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure, TAMM ensures reliability and scalability. The platform’s AI capabilities have been developed in partnership with IBM and Microsoft, ensuring robust integration and security.
