About us

The Incubator for Automation and Innovation (i.AI) was a software development team that was part of the Cabinet Office and the Prime Minister's Delivery Group.


The unit was set up in 2022 and uses rapid prototyping to catalyse change in the Civil Service through automation and innovation. That means experimenting with new ways of working while delivering high quality digital products. We’re enthusiastic about innovation and experimentation, passionate about technology, and want to create positive change.

The unit’s recent projects include building a citizen-facing eligibility checker, with a data-sharing portal, for a prime ministerial priority policy, designing and developing the Evaluation Registry, and small proof of concept apps to improve efficiency for civil servants.
