ATIPXpress AI Assistant: Your Personal Assistant for ATIP Review
November 4, 2025 / #ATIP, #AI
Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) request volumes are growing, with agencies regularly processing over 1TB of data for a single request. Manual review can’t keep up with the demands of requesters, even as agencies hire more staff. Redaction is frequently cited as one of the most time-consuming steps of the review fulfillment process, requiring significant manual effort and no room for error.
ATIPXpress® has the solution with our innovative AI Assistant. Powered by AWS Comprehend, the AI Assistant uses advanced language processing to find and flag sensitive entities and personally identifiable information (PII). The AI Assistant draws from a learning-based knowledge source, so it gets smarter the more you use it.
Speed up request processing through the advanced features and capabilities of the ATIPXpress AI Assistant:
Automatic Named Entity Recognition
Through natural language processing, the AI Assistant automatically identifies entities, including but not limited to: the names of people, locations, organizations, currency amounts, dates, and times.
Custom Patterns and Automated Pattern Reactions
Using pattern recognition technology, the AI Assistant automatically flags personally identifiable information (PII), such as: social security numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, credit cards, and passport numbers.
History-Based Intelligent Redaction Suggestions
Through the ATIPXpress history-based knowledge base, the AI Assistant continuously learns from top-performing analysts with each redaction, flagging new information with greater precision.
