AI is becoming part of everyday council work, but knowing where to start isn’t always straightforward. Clerks and officers are looking for practical ways to use it, while councillors are considering what it means for governance, decision-making and their responsibilities.

From curiosity to confidence:
an AI workshop in action
See how Llanelli Rural Council explored AI through practical demonstrations, familiar council tasks and hands-on learning.
In August 2026, CloudyIT delivered a Copilot Enablement Day for Llanelli Rural Council. Staff explored how AI could support their everyday work, from drafting reports and reviewing policies to working with spreadsheets.
The day combined live demonstrations with practical activities, giving participants the opportunity to try Copilot for themselves, ask questions and build confidence using AI.
“The real potential of AI is to help us deliver better services for our residents while making every pound go further. By reducing time spent on routine administration, we can free up our staff to focus on the work that makes the biggest difference to our communities.”
