Top 10 AI Prompts and Use Cases and in the Government Industry in Tulsa

Oklahoma's AI moment is no longer hypothetical: Governor Stitt has stood up an AI Task Force to explore ways AI can shore up security gaps and modernize state services (KJRH report on Governor Stitt's AI Task Force), while the state legislature is pushing transparency and safeguards through measures like the Oklahoma Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights and system inventories to keep citizens informed (Oklahoma House Government Modernization & Technology Committee page).

At the same time, local debates - including concerns about a proposed 500‑acre AI data center that could use roughly 7 million gallons of water a day - make clear that efficiency gains arrive with tradeoffs for land, water, and power.

Practical skills for municipal teams matter now: Nucamp's Nucamp AI Essentials for Work bootcamp syllabus focuses on prompt-writing and workplace AI tools so Tulsa governments can turn policy into safe, useful systems that improve services without leaving communities behind.

“The Oklahoma Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights empowers Oklahomans and ensures citizens have the right to understand AI interactions and protect their privacy and data.” - Rep. Jeff Boatman

Selection prioritized practical, low‑risk wins for Tulsa by drawing on curated case studies and whole‑of‑government trials: published NSW Government AI case studies that show an “under the hood” approach to building public trust and capability informed which service areas yield early value, the rigorous Copilot trial evaluation by Nous revealed measurable staff time savings that signal meaningful productivity gains, and the Australia national AI assurance framework shaped the risk criteria used to rank use cases.

Criteria included clear public benefit, data governance and privacy alignment, a risk‑based assurance score, readiness (data maturity and training), and the ability to run short, monitored pilots that can be evaluated with mixed methods.

A single vivid benchmark guided choices: pilots that free up roughly an hour a day for front‑line staff were treated as high‑impact opportunities worth fast follow‑up for Tulsa's constrained budgets and capacity.

“The Australian government's Copilot trial was the world's largest public sector trial of generative AI.” - Will Prothero, Nous principal

Tulsa's policing playbook is already shifting from reactive patrols to intelligence‑led responses by centering the Real‑Time Information Center (RTIC) as the hub for predictive patrol and hotspot mapping: the RTIC brings license‑plate‑reader feeds, body and traffic cameras, RMS data and live dispatch on a Haivision video wall so specialists can spot a pattern and push actionable hot‑spot maps to officers before they arrive on scene (Haivision case study: Tulsa Police Department RTIC).

Integrations like FlockOS® show how combining LPR, 911 and patrol telemetry can tighten response times and, in one case study, supported faster case closures and resource coordination across a city of more than 400,000 residents (FlockOS customer case study: Tulsa PD real-time intelligence).

At the same time, federal and academic reviews warn that predictive models need clean, representative inputs - algorithms trained on biased arrest histories can reinforce disparities - so Tulsa's pilots should pair hotspot maps with transparent data governance, community oversight, and measurable outcomes rather than treating predictions as directives (FBI analysis: Predictive policing and technology to reduce crime).

The practical payoff is tangible: when the RTIC can show officers a consolidated live feed on a single wall, patrol decisions move from guesswork to coordinated action - one clear image that can make a life‑saving difference in seconds.

Predictive Policing Requirement	FBI case example
Data points for accuracy	1,200–2,000
Typical historical window	5 years of data used
Hotspot map resolution	≈500 sq ft areas; ~15 maps per shift

“Building a Real-Time Information Center [RTIC] and having great partners allows us to respond to the community in a completely different way than we have seen in the past.” - Tara Brians, RTIC Manager, Tulsa Police Department

For the Tulsa Fire Department, low‑risk, high‑value AI pilots mean shifting from reactive runs to data‑driven prevention: digital fire‑safety systems can fuse IoT sensors, building records and historical incident data to forecast where fires are most likely and trigger targeted alerts or automated mitigation steps - PlanRadar's overview shows how a model can flag one building section on a hot, dry day and prompt HVAC throttling or maintenance notices before smoke appears (PlanRadar predictive modeling for digital fire safety).

Paired with predictive staffing and resource‑allocation tools, Tulsa could pre‑position engines, adjust shift rosters, and reduce response times while protecting crew wellness by avoiding chronic overwork (SmartProtect predictive analytics for public‑safety staffing).

Connecting local pilots to national data and standards matters: the USFA's NERIS effort offers interoperable schemas and analytics infrastructure that can help Tulsa integrate incident records and scale reliable forecasts across jurisdictions (USFA NERIS national emergency response information system).

The payoff is concrete - fewer false alarms, smarter stationing of apparatus, and earlier warnings that can turn minutes of delay into lives and property saved.

Predictive Fire Safety Element	Example from research
Key inputs	IoT sensors, weather, occupancy, building materials, historical incidents (PlanRadar)
Operational outcomes	Preemptive alerts, optimized staffing, targeted resource allocation (PlanRadar, SmartProtect)
National support	NERIS launched (Nov 4, 2024) with APIs and core data schemas to enable analytics (USFA)

Tulsa Health Department can turn scattered clinic notes, emergency‑room syndromic feeds and non‑traditional signals into actionable early warnings by leaning on proven AI patterns: ensemble approaches like the MMAING model have recently outperformed conventional surveillance in early outbreak detection using both real and synthetic primary‑care records (BMC Medical Research Methodology study on MMAING ensemble outbreak detection), while the CDC's Data Modernization Initiative highlights practical ML tools - from NLP on free text to spatiotemporal models and even LLM‑assisted syndromic surveillance - that increase speed, breadth and fairness of public‑health insight (CDC Data Modernization Initiative: AI and ML for public health surveillance).

For Tulsa this means dashboards that can flag subtle syndromic shifts across clinics, prioritize lab follow‑ups, and free staff time for outreach; tracking clear KPIs (cases averted, time‑to‑signal, and cost per investigation) helps justify pilots and procurement (Nucamp AI Essentials for Work bootcamp registration - cost & efficiency KPIs).

Careful validation, anonymization and community transparency remain non‑negotiable so models inform decisions rather than dictate them, giving public health the practical early warning tools it needs without compromising privacy or equity.

• Key inputs: EHR/syndromic data, non‑traditional sources (images, social media), coded death records (CDC)
• Methods: Ensembles (MMAING), ML/NLP, spatiotemporal point processes, LLM‑assisted surveillance (BMC, CDC)
• Operational benefits: Earlier detection vs. traditional methods; faster coding/automation and expanded data use (MMAING, CDC)

City halls that deploy AI chatbots for 311 and permit workflows can turn long hold times and backlogged permit counters into fast, trackable service experiences - text and web chat make city services available 24/7, route simple requests automatically, and free staff to handle complex cases rather than repetitive lookups; CivicPlus's overview of AI in local government highlights these time‑saving and engagement benefits while underscoring the need for careful rollout and staffing plans (CivicPlus blog: Role and use of AI in local government).

Proven municipal examples from Citibot show concrete payoffs: when New Orleans faced a 350% surge in calls and phone lines went down during Hurricane Ida, the chatbot JAZZ maintained service continuity, and smaller cities like Opelika report thousands of staff hours reclaimed after launching text‑and‑web assistants (Citibot case studies: municipal chatbot outcomes).

For Tulsa, a pragmatic pilot could start with permit status checks, renewal reminders, and outage reporting, layered with multilingual support and clear escalation rules - one vivid test: a chatbot that texts a permit holder a single link to upload a stamped plan can shave days off processing and turn a fraught in‑person trip into a five‑minute interaction.

City	Use case	Outcome / metric
New Orleans (NOLA‑311)	Text & web chatbot for 311 and emergency messaging	Maintained service during Hurricane Ida; handled 350% surge in calls
Opelika, AL	Text/web assistant for citizen requests	Saved ~2,500 staff hours
Williamsburg, VA	Web chat for resident inquiries	79% instant response rate

Tulsa Transit's move from big buses to flexible, rider‑centric options is already paying off: Micro Transit pilots in northwest and northeast Tulsa doubled local ridership and carry a $1.75 fare while the agency expands from two zones to nearly city‑wide coverage, showing how on‑demand trips can replace long walks to fixed routes and unclog busy hubs (Tulsa Transit Introduces Micro Transit pilot).

Integrating microtransit, paratransit and fixed routes in a single app (GoPass®) has driven strong service metrics elsewhere - 4.8/5 average ratings, 95% on‑time performance, ~7‑minute waits and a 14% cost reduction per passenger - evidence that smarter routing and commingled fleets can improve the rider experience while lowering costs (RideCo multi‑modal GoPass integration and performance metrics).

Looking ahead, autonomous on‑demand shuttles offer a scalable first‑mile/last‑mile option: recent simulations show small AODS fleets can serve most FMLM requests with very low waits and minimal traffic impact, if charging and routing are optimized (Autonomous on‑Demand Shuttles performance and simulation study).

The practical payoff for Tulsa is vivid - a smooth, app‑summoned vehicle that turns a two‑hour, multi‑transfer trip into a short, reliable connection that actually gets riders to jobs, schools, and medical appointments.

Metric	Value / Source
Micro Transit fare	$1.75 (Tulsa pilot)
Initial pilot zones	2 (NW & NE Tulsa); adding 5 more
Ridership impact	Doubled vs. prior fixed route (pilot area)
Service metrics (multi‑modal)	4.8/5 rating; 95% on‑time; 7 min avg wait; 14% cost reduction (RideCo)

“These shuttles can take individuals from their residential areas to say, a transportation hub, to get them to take the next mode of transportation.” - Lisa Kuehl, Navya North America Marketing Manager

For the Tulsa Office of Emergency Management, emerging AI methods that fuse satellite imagery, edge processing, and on‑the‑ground sensors could shrink detection times from hours to minutes and give planners a real shot at stopping small ignitions before they become neighborhood‑threatening blazes.

University of Southern California researchers have shown that a generative AI approach (a cWGAN) can infer a fire's history from satellites and produce probabilistic spread maps - targeting a ~95% detection rate while driving false alarms toward 0.1% - making it possible to deliver timely, actionable maps to dispatch and mutual‑aid partners (USC ISI AI wildfire detection research and probabilistic spread maps).

Complementary pilots - NOAA's Next Generation Fire System and academic–industry camera and drone networks - demonstrate how automated image scanning and low‑power sensors free human analysts to focus on tough calls, not constant monitoring (NOAA Next Generation Fire System and AI wildfire monitoring pilots).

For Oklahoma's mix of urban edges and rural grasslands, that could mean pre‑positioning engines based on a short‑term risk map - catching a fire “when it's only a couple of trees,” as researchers note - so minutes saved translate directly into fewer homes lost and crews kept safer.

Metric	Example / target
AI detection rate (ISI goal)	≈95%
False alarm reduction goal	≈0.1%
Satellite limitations	Infrequent passes / coarse pixels; motivates edge processing

“The earlier you can detect a fire, the less damage there will be.” - Andrew Rittenbach, USC ISI

Tulsa schools can use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to turn grading from a red‑pen marathon into fast, data‑driven feedback that supports personalized learning: Automated Essay Scoring (AES) tools can evaluate essays for coherence, grammar, and argument strength so teachers spend less time on routine marking and more on coaching, while OCR‑enabled workflows let scanned or handwritten work feed directly into models for faster turnaround (Automated Essay Scoring and NLP in assessments: AES for faster grading).

NLP systems also power real‑time formative feedback and adaptive assessments that adjust difficulty as students progress, improving engagement and scalability for larger classes, though schools must plan for model training, human oversight, and language‑nuance limits (NLP in automated grading and assessment: adaptive feedback and limitations).

Practical pilots can start with draft essays and short answers integrated into the district LMS, measure time‑saved and student learning gains, and pair automated scores with teacher review to protect fairness and foster trust (OCR plus NLP for automated feedback and LMS integration).

“NLP-based automated grading and assessment systems have the potential to revolutionize the way that education is assessed.” - Mr. Manish Mohta, Learning Spiral

For Tulsa's municipal finance leaders, the math is blunt: GAO's government‑wide estimate that fraud costs federal coffers between $233 billion and $521 billion a year highlights why even local benefits and procurement leaks matter, and why AI‑powered detection is practical insurance for tight city budgets (GAO report estimating federal fraud costs $233B–$521B annually).

Practical steps include using analytics to spot anomalous vendor payments, card‑transaction monitoring to flag unusual reimbursements (GAO finds card networks can aid fraud screening), and leveraging beneficial‑ownership data - when available - to unmask shell bidders (GAO report on FinCEN company registry and OIG access).

Pilots should track concrete KPIs - time‑to‑flag, dollars recovered, and false‑positive rates - and pair models with human review and governance so alerts become investigated leads, not contractor headaches (Municipal AI cost and efficiency KPIs for Tulsa government).

One vivid test: a procurement anomaly detector that turns a suspicious invoice into an audit lead in hours instead of weeks can close a small but costly gap before it scales into a systemic loss.

Metric	GAO figure
Estimated federal annual fraud loss (FY2018–2022)	$233 billion – $521 billion
Payment card fees (selected federal entities, FY2023)	~$784 million in fees on $43.6B card revenue

Tulsa Public Works can cut congestion, crashes and emissions by moving beyond fixed‑timing plans to SURTRAC‑inspired adaptive signal control that senses clusters of vehicles, optimizes each intersection's schedule in real time, and shares planned outflows with neighbors for coordinated green waves; the underlying method is described in the SURTRAC patent and research on decentralized, schedule‑driven control (SURTRAC decentralized signal control patent and research).

Practical safety evidence is clear: the FHWA clearinghouse rates adaptive traffic signal control with a crash modification factor of 0.87 (≈13% crash reduction) and notes applicability in urban/suburban corridors across a wide AADT range (FHWA clearinghouse adaptive traffic signal control crash reduction study).

Real deployments show dramatic operational wins - travel times down ≈25%, speeds up ≈34%, stops down ≈31%, wait times down ≈40% and emissions roughly −21% - so a well‑scoped Tulsa pilot (proper detectors, resilient comms, and spillover safeguards) could turn a gridlocked midtown intersection into one with nearly a third fewer stops and measurably safer, faster crossings, while giving the city concrete KPIs to track before wider rollout (SURTRAC overview and field results summary).

Metric	Value / Source
Crash Modification Factor (CMF)	0.87 (≈13% crash reduction) - FHWA Clearinghouse
SURTRAC travel time change	≈−25% - SURTRAC field results
SURTRAC stops change	≈−31% - SURTRAC field results
SURTRAC wait time change	≈−40% - SURTRAC field results
Applicability (AADT ranges)	Major: 3,148–61,581; Minor: 900–19,849 - FHWA Clearinghouse

10. Tulsa City Legal - Document Automation and Translation for Public Records: Tulsa's legal shop can slash turnaround on public‑records, permitting and council‑packet requests by adopting legal document automation that pulls clerked case data into court‑compliant templates, batches redaction, and adds e‑signature and audit trails so every FOIA reply is accurate and traceable; platforms like Clio Draft even keep up‑to‑date court forms for all 50 states, while secure DMS‑native builders such as NetDocuments' PatternBuilder layer AI and low‑code workflows for multi‑document packages and policy‑controlled sharing.

For non‑English speakers, legal‑grade AI translation and document‑AI tools (see LexWorkplace's guide to AI for legal documents) can produce draft translations and summary extracts that accelerate review by human translators, cutting days from responses without sacrificing legal nuance.

The practical payoff is memorable: what used to be a day‑long chase for signatures and redactions becomes a handful of clicks to generate a secure, searchable PDF and route it for e‑sign - freeing counsel to focus on risk review and community outreach rather than clerical churn.

Metric / claim	Source
Up to 80% time saved drafting documents	Clio Draft

“Our firm has seen major efficiencies, including cutting down the time it takes to prepare some documents by as much as 90%.” - Josh Waddell, Siskind Susser (NetDocuments customer story)

Tulsa's next step is practical and governance‑first: pair the Top 10 pilots with a clear AI governance framework that codifies transparency, data lineage, bias testing and continuous monitoring so every model and prompt can be traced from dataset to decision and owners are assigned for audits and incident response (follow NIST AI RMF and industry playbooks for structure).

Start small with risk‑rated sandboxes and cross‑functional oversight - legal, IT, public health, and community reps - to align safety, equity and procurement rules, and measure wins with KPIs like time‑to‑flag, false‑positive rates and staff hours reclaimed.

Use automated discovery and model registries to prevent shadow AI and automate policy enforcement where possible; practical tool guidance and checklists are summarized in governance primers such as MineOS's AI governance guide and Alation's best‑practices roadmap for data leaders.

Finally, build local capacity through focused workforce training - prompting, validation, and operational governance - so city teams can run pilots responsibly; Nucamp's AI Essentials for Work course is one accessible path to those skills and prompt‑writing practices (MineOS AI governance framework guide for municipalities, Alation AI governance best practices for data leaders, Enroll in Nucamp AI Essentials for Work).
