CLOSED: LLMs for evidence-based decision making in development - request for submissions

In partnership with the Frontier Tech Hub, FCDO is developing and testing an LLM-based tool that could quickly find relevant knowledge from publicly available sources and process that knowledge into a variety of forms useful for decision making. The tool would enable development professionals to leverage a more comprehensive knowledge base, faster, more efficiently and with less friction to improve the delivery of policy and programming. 

Beyond developing a new tool, this project will contribute to learning that will shape how the FCDO and development professionals use AI tools. We aim to advance learning regarding how to safely get the most out of new tools and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different technical approaches. 

The team are looking for an individual/team to provide technical guidance and to build and test an MVP of the tool.
