Lintu Solutions reports four working AI agents, proposes expanded apprenticeship

Leanne Wiecki of Lintu Solutions updated the Hampshire County Commission on an AI apprenticeship the firm launched for the county. Wiecki said the program selected two apprentices after Labor Day and trained them in systems, cloud computing and AI tools; apprentices have produced four working AI agents with two already in production.

Jordan Gray, one of the apprentices, described two of his agents: “I built an EMS, voice search and protocol retrieval agent, which will aim to help our county's first responders in the field,” and a booking bot designed for the Hampshire County Chamber of Commerce. Wiecki added that a tourism itinerary recommender and a government-resources matching agent are in various stages of completion; the matching agent will return Hampshire County resources first.

The program’s next phase (January–March) will complete the current agents and the apprentices will propose three additional agents each, to be developed with county input. Commissioners suggested a community calendar component be added to the government-resources agent to help residents and local boards find meeting and event information; one commissioner said a calendar would help avoid conflicting festivals and make public meetings more accessible.

Wiecki said Lintu primarily uses the Google ecosystem for these builds because of supportability and cybersecurity considerations but will remain flexible to county needs. The commission praised the apprenticeship for workforce development and local economic benefits and encouraged continued coordination as the program explores expansion to include up to eight apprentices in a future six-month cohort.
