Hello world! Meet “Alphie AI,” a first-of-its-kind AI Powered Transit Analytics chatbot developed to help the transit industry in managing increasing amounts of data and the rising demand for more data scientists with expertise in transit.
AlphaRoute, a company closely linked to MIT, has a long history of providing advanced transit solutions, including NDSP Optimization, Driver Shift Optimization, and the Microtransit Planner API. Building on this legacy, we are excited to introduce Alphie AI. Our established products have been successfully utilized by major transit authorities in cities such as Boston, New York, and Chicago.
Drawing on our own experience as former transit professionals, we recognize the critical need for advanced analytics and real-time data analysis within transit agencies. These tools are essential for enabling informed decisions, improving system efficiency and the overall passenger experience. Traditional reports are insufficient in today’s dynamic environment. Deeper analysis, dataset merging, and trend evaluation are necessary. However, a persistent challenge is the scarcity of personnel with the coding skills combined with transit expertise needed for in-depth analysis of extensive transit datasets.
Your transit team has the expertise to identify critical questions, but data navigation and information extraction from large datasets can be difficult and time-consuming. Welcome “Alphie AI”! This tool empowers your team to use natural language to quickly retrieve metrics for meetings or create in-depth analysis for complex problem-solving and well informed, data-driven decisions. Alphie AI can provide you with precise statistics, tables, and fancy plots from your huge transit datasets in seconds. For example, have you ever wondered how to merge operations and automatic vehicle location data to get a new metric you’d love to show on your board presentation? With Alphie AI, the answer is just one question away. Simply ask!
But you may be wondering, is it secure? Will my data be exposed publicly? Alphie AI leverages large language models (like chatGPT) but is specifically designed to never allow your confidential and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to leave our models. Connect all your datasets with confidence, knowing your data security is maintained.
