APL’s main goal with having an IT Technology Interns is to use AI to:
- assist in writing technical reports since this is a pain point for many engineers.
- assist in searching for project requirements.
A suitable framework – a multi-channel AI Chatbot and a search engine that can be connected to data scattered across various locations – has already been established. The focus of the internship will be:
- Integration with AI Search Engine: the project documents we want to use AI to search through are stored in SharePoint. Each project will have a dedicated SharePoint site. Therefore, one task is to determine and implement a strategy for automatically indexing these documents with the AI search engine.
- Separation of data: Upon successful integration of the AI search engine with data from one project, the next step involves coming up with a method to connect the search engine to multiple SharePoint sites, and allowing the user to select the project to search within.
- ‘WriterAssistant’ Chatbot: Develop a chatbot to assist engineers in writing better technical reports. Other language styles can be added later.
Depending on the progress, another focus area can be:
- Compare clauses from the Logic Standard Contracts for major equipment and/or on/offshore services (containing APL’s standard conditions approved by APL) with contracts we receive from clients to help us quickly capture differences and highlight risks.
