Requirements summarized include Genesys Cloud CX 3 integration; read access to SharePoint, DenverWater.org, and Oracle CC&B; Phase 1 primarily read-only with real-time retrieval, source citations, call summaries, recommendations, analytics, and human review; Phase 2 controlled human-confirmed write-back to Genesys and CC&B; security, privacy, accessibility, records, AI governance, auditability, U.S. data residency; and milestones toward April 2027.
