As part of Statistics Canada's modernization journey, the Dissemination Division, in partnership with the Generative AI Enablement Project team, have created a new bilingual AI-powered search tool "IntelliStatCan" to improve Statistics Canada's website's current search output.
The purpose of this engagement activity was to conduct usability testing with a targeted audience such as researchers who would benefit from this AI tool (i.e., librarians, academic researchers, and AI collaborative networks). This engagement activity gathered user feedback to further inform the development of the tool.
The primary objectives of this engagement were to:
- Assess the tool's capability to find information.
- Evaluate the accuracy of responses to questions.
- Assess if the tool provides the most relevant information.
- Test the user's experience when they use the tool.
- Assess if the tool functions as intended.
