Ask Tech Port
Description
Ongoing development and enhancement of the NASA Technology Portfolio Management System (TechPort) "AskTechPort" generative AI tool. AskTechPort leverages the TechPort data set of over 18,000 current and historical NASA applied research and experimental development investments to answer questions about NASA's technology portfolio and capabilities. AskTechPort provides an interactive feature enabling users to inquire about NASA technology investment areas, maturity of those technologies, organizations developing those technologies, and where work is being performed.
Detailed example
Interactive responses
AI / analytics pattern
Generative AI: AI that generates new or synthetic content (e.g., images, videos, audio, text, code).
Automation level / stage
a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.
Expected benefit
TechPort sees an average of over 12,000 unique users each month. These users conduct over 250,000 searches each year of the NASA technology portfolio. The benefit of "Ask Tech Port" is a component that reduces the total time to search or retrieve the results of a data inquiry by 50%, providing interactive features that use natural language processing to provide a faster inquiry mechanism than historical faceted search techniques.
