Andalusia is setting new standards in the digital transformation of public administration. With the introduction of JuntaGPT, a customized AI assistant, the region is positioning itself as a pioneer in digitalization within Spain. This innovative tool, developed exclusively for the 240,000 civil servants of the Junta de Andalucía, aims to massively increase efficiency and drastically reduce the processing times for administrative files.
Why JuntaGPT is a milestone for Spanish administration
JuntaGPT is the first generative AI tool specifically designed for a Spanish regional administration. While other administrations are still debating the use of external AI solutions like ChatGPT, Andalusia has already implemented a solution tailored to its needs. This allows civil servants to perform daily tasks such as drafting emails, summarizing long documents, and answering official inquiries in natural language much faster.
The system, which is not based on an OpenAI model but is its own development, underscores Andalusia’s commitment to digital sovereignty and data security. All data remains within the protected Andalusian administrative network.
The technology behind the efficiency miracle: Hercules Supercomputer and Gemma-3
JuntaGPT runs on the powerful Hercules supercomputer and uses the Gemma-3 model with 27 billion parameters. This free and open model comes from the Gemini family and ensures not only high performance but also flexibility in further development. The impressive technology enables JuntaGPT to provide answers in less than 300 milliseconds – a crucial factor for seamless integration into the daily work of civil servants.
Key functions of JuntaGPT include:
- Drafting official emails
- Summarizing complex documents
- Analyzing regulations and procedures
- Creating diagrams and presentations
- Consultations on over 400 administrative procedures
Accelerating processes: Ambitious goals for the future
Although JuntaGPT functions exclusively internally and citizens will continue to interact directly with civil servants, the expected impact on processing times is enormous. Councillor Antonio Sanz, responsible for presenting JuntaGPT, has set ambitious goals:
- Administrative files that previously took up to two years are expected to be completed in just fifteen days in the future.
- It is estimated that the use of JuntaGPT can save the processing of over one million documents per year.
This Breaking News from Andalusia shows that the region is not shying away from risk assessments, but is actively positioning itself as a pioneer in regional digitalization. The tool is already partially in operation and will be gradually implemented in all departments of the Junta de Andalucía in the coming months. This is a clear sign of progress in the news surrounding Spain and a significant step towards a more efficient and citizen-oriented administration.
