Optimizing Operations with AI
We partnered with Seattle's Sky View Observatory at the Columbia Tower and LFGI Research to explore how AI could optimize operations. Our comprehensive approach involved touring the facility, conducting detailed interviews with upper management, and analyzing operational documents.
Objective
Identify AI applications to streamline operations, enhance visitor experience, and improve overall efficiency.
