The Home Office faced time-consuming challenges in asylum decision-making, where caseworkers, particularly new staff, spent significant time manually searching through Country Policy Information Notes (CPINs) and Country of Origin Information Requests (COIRs) to find relevant policy basis for asylum decisions.
The Asylum Policy Search system is an AI-powered search assistant with a chat-based interface that searches through CPINs and COIRs to provide summaries of country policy information. The tool uses natural language processing to understand caseworker queries and provides reference links to full source documents while maintaining human oversight of all decisions.
