Public sector
AI in Catalan for administrative work, installed inside your security perimeter.
We install an AI on your town council's or public body's network that drafts reports, searches regulations and case files, transcribes council and other meetings and answers the public in Catalan, without sending data to third-party clouds. It fits with the ENS (Spain's National Security Framework) and the GDPR. We start with a limited pilot that fits within a minor contract.
Based on the case file and your approved templates, with references to the applicable regulations. The responsible officer reviews and signs.
Bylaws, call rules, plenary resolutions and previous case files, searchable in natural language, with a citation to the source document.
Local transcription identifying who is speaking, plus draft minutes, in Catalan and Spanish.
A general information assistant that says it is an AI, answers using your official content and hands over to a person when needed.
Reading applications and emails to suggest the department and type of procedure, always with human validation.
AI literacy (Art. 4) for municipal teams, with safe-use criteria and examples from your own work.
Catalonia’s public administration is in a full-scale race towards AI. The Catalonia AI 2030 Strategy mobilises €1 billion, CatSalut is tendering consultation transcription with weight given to the AINA project’s models, and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center is tendering storage and private inference for language models. The European Union, with its technological sovereignty package of May 2026, is pushing the public sector towards its own or European infrastructure.
But between the big tenders and the daily work of a mid-sized town council, a consell comarcal (county council) or a consortium, there is a gap: small teams, lots of case files and no authorised AI tool. Meanwhile, staff use cloud chat tools on their own.
A planning officer asks for a draft report on a planning application, based on the case file and the current bylaw, with every reference cited. The secretary’s office receives the transcript of last night’s plenary session, showing who spoke on each item, and draft minutes. At the public information desk, an assistant that introduces itself as an AI answers in Catalan about deadlines and documentation, and passes the query to a person when needed. In every case, a person reviews and decides.
In Catalonia, the working language of the administration is Catalan, and an AI that only half writes it creates more work than it saves. We start from open models that master it and from the AINA project’s corpora, and we have gone further: in our Barcelona lab we built a Catalan vocabulary pipeline that raised the coverage of the ‘draft’ model that speeds up responses (speculative decoding) from 75.2% to 99.6%, so that drafting in Catalan does not lag behind Spanish.
file.cat is a small, technical outfit, not a large consultancy. We do not hold ENS or ISO 27001 certifications, and we do not hide it: that is why we install inside your perimeter and document every measure. For large projects, we can provide the local inference part to whoever wins the contract.
If the use is drafting public texts with no personal data, or your organisation already has an authorised corporate AI platform, you may not need another one. We will tell you so clearly.
AI and GDPR assessment
We review how you use AI today, what data it touches and what obligations you have. You leave with a clear plan: what to run locally, what can go to the cloud and in what order.
Ready-to-use local AI
Your own ChatGPT, inside your office. We choose or reuse the hardware, install the models and set up a private chat for the whole team.
Private RAG search
Ask your documents as you would ask an expert colleague. The AI answers citing the document and page, and respects who can see what.
Voice transcription
Meetings, consultations and voice notes turned into text, with who said what, a summary and the tasks. All inside your server.
AI training
A hands-on half day so the team uses AI well: real cases from your work, clear rules on data and the AI literacy the EU AI Act requires.
No. file.cat does not hold ENS or ISO 27001 certification. That is why we install the AI on your own infrastructure, which is already covered by your ENS, and provide the technical documentation and measures for your security officer to validate.
Yes: an assessment or a pilot usually fits within a minor services contract (contrato menor). For larger deployments, we can work as a technical subcontractor to the company awarded the contract.
Yes. We work with open models that write and understand Catalan, we follow resources from the AINA project and we have expanded our models' Catalan vocabulary so that Catalan is no slower than Spanish.
Yes. We are based in Barcelona, but the system is installed on your network and much of the work is remote. We come in person for the assessment and the installation anywhere in Catalonia.
