Humanitarian AI Assistant

Live service dashboard · anonymized aggregates

What the assistant draws on

Answers are grounded in two kinds of source: a curated library of humanitarian guidance, evaluations and toolkits indexed for retrieval, and a set of live humanitarian data feeds the assistant queries mid-conversation. This is a sneak peek at both — aggregate figures and a sample of what's inside.

How retrieval works

Each document is split into passages and embedded into a vector index. A question retrieves the passages closest in meaning — not by keyword — and the assistant answers from those, citing which documents it drew on. The library is re-indexed as new material is added, so guidance is quoted as published rather than paraphrased from memory.

Live data feeds

Queried at answer time, so figures reflect the latest published analysis rather than whatever a document said when it was written.

Library snapshot taken 2026-07-28; feed refresh intervals are the assistant's own cache windows. Counts cover the whole library; named titles are limited to openly-published IASC, ALNAP and DG ECHO material, so the sample is deliberately narrower than the collections above. Document contents are never published.
