Hello Everyone!
Thank you for checking out our site. I hope you've had a chance to try our AiFGE assistant app. Here at Wade.Digital we're building AI-enabled applications and automation pipelines, and AiFGE is a project that I started earlier this year to help my wife Stacy, who is the Vice-President of AFGE Local 2328 here at the Hampton Virginia Medical Center.
As Stacy’s husband, I understand the challenges she goes through in order to provide support for her members. The Master Agreement is a large document, and I understand all the resources the AFGE puts into training its officers and stewards on how to wield that powerful document properly.
I'm a software developer by trade, and for the last year and a half have been fascinated by ChatGPT and advances in artificial intelligence. So to that end, I decided to build a demo ChatGPT-type app that has the master agreement loaded in it. You can see it for yourself at http://app.aifge.xyz.
We've prompted it to serve as a steward assistant, showcasing how this product can be used to take problem statements in natural language and provide next steps toward resolution. If there is a conflict with the Master Agreement, it will reference the relevant portion with it's response. It can even output form letters, draft emails, and draft grievances.
In addition to the Master Agreement, we've also indexed supplemental agreements relevant to 2328. We've added some basic Title 38 information as well, and will be adding case notes, legal briefs and even VA published field manuals as needed. Right now we have links to these documents within the app's readme tab, and we'll be adding a codex viewer to display the documents in the future.
We hope that the value of such an application is apparent, and we are actively seeking funding from the AFGE to build out a full-featured app that can be scaled and made available to the entirety of their organization. We have the following short-term objectives:
- Continue scaling and collecting user feedback.
- Determine where the bot is providing incorrect information, and adjust our models as needed.
- Refine Title 38 Data and output
- Implement a multi-agent system that will allow us to customize document codexes on a council, local, or individual level
Long term, our main priority is to help the AFGE, as well as other labor organizations, support the growing demands of their members by giving their leadership these advanced tools and others like it. My wife and I are both committed to the resurgence of worker power in the United States, as well as the development of ethical AI applications.
If you'd lke to get in touch with us, please send an email to contact at wade dot digital. I'd love to hear from you.
In Solidarity,
