Improving accuracy and speed in internship application processing for Regione Lombardia

Context

Regione Lombardia is the administrative body overseeing Italy’s most populous region. Among its duties is the validation of internship applications submitted by educational institutions and companies.
These applications must meet a strict set of criteria before funding can be released. Today, only two sta members manually verify each request, a process
that is slow, labor-intensive, and prone to delays especially given the high volume of submissions.

Challenge & Solutions

➤ Manual validation of internship applications caused delays, errors, and slow fund disbursement.

➤ Only two operators were available, limiting the ability to perform thorough, consistent reviews.

➤ High volume and complexity increased the risk of administrative inefficiencies and oversight.

➤ There was no automated mechanism for flagging anomalies or notifying applicants.

The manual verification of internship applications became a critical bottleneck—slowing down approvals, increasing the risk of processing non-compliant cases, and delaying the release of funds. With only two human operators, the review process was inconsistent and unsustainable.

To address this, Regione Lombardia integrated GAIA into its internal review system. GAIA autonomously verifies whether each application complies with defined criteria. If compliant, it forwards the case to the human operator for final approval. If discrepancies are found, GAIA flags only the specific problematic fields, allowing staff to focus their efforts where it matters most.

PHASE 2 – GAIA WEB:
In the upcoming phase, GAIA will autonomously send anomaly alerts via self-generated emails. If a required document is missing, GAIA notifies the applicant. Once the corrected file is uploaded, the assistant re-verifies the case and updates the record—entirely without human intervention.

With GAIA, we’ve moved from reactive supervision to intelligent automation—ensuring that every application is reviewed faster, more accurately, and with full traceability.

Impact

Key Outcomes

➤ GAIA automates initial compliance checks, reducing processing time and manual workload.

➤ Human intervention is focused only on flagged cases, maximizing the value of staff input.

➤ The system scales seamlessly, enabling efficient and timely public service at high volume.

By shifting repetitive validation tasks to GAIA, Regione Lombardia has significantly improved both speed and precision in application processing. Staff are no longer overwhelmed by volume, but instead contribute where judgment is most needed. This has not only streamlined operations, but also laid the foundation for a more responsive and scalable public administration model.
