en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Brazilian Association of Independent Oil and Gas Producers (ABPIP) has developed an artificial intelligence-based solution to automate processes, expand regulatory intelligence, and facilitate access to strategic industry information. The project consists of three platforms covering different areas of institutional activities: meeting and committee management, legal and regulatory monitoring, and intelligent querying of industry databases. This initiative is part of ABPIP's digital transformation strategy, aimed at improving operational efficiency, reducing repetitive tasks, and supporting decision-making with well-organized and traceable information.

The first project is a virtual secretary assistant integrated into Microsoft Teams, which automates the generation of meeting minutes, summaries, decision records, responsible party assignments, deadline tracking, and committee attendance control. The first phase will serve approximately ten committees and up to 42 member company representatives, supporting an estimated 120 meetings per year, potentially saving 120 to 360 hours of manual drafting and recording time annually. The intelligent legal assistant automatically monitors official gazettes and regulatory agency portals, performing hundreds of automated checks each month to identify public consultations, normative documents, and other relevant publications, while organizing workflows and tracking deadlines. The virtual intelligent assistant allows users to query strategic industry information through natural language questions. This platform aggregates data on production, oil fields, companies, investments, royalties, reserves, and member participation, eliminating the need for manual searches across different databases.

Combined, these three solutions are expected to save hundreds of hours of operational work annually, while improving information standardization, enhancing process traceability, reducing risks related to regulatory tracking, and strengthening the association's ability to respond to industry needs. ABPIP Executive Manager Lucas Mota de Lima stated that the goal is not to use AI simply because it is a trending technology, but to develop solutions tailored to the association's actual problems, transforming operational activities into intelligent processes that free up teams to engage in higher-value analytical work. ABPIP President Marcio Felix noted that with independent companies accounting for an increasing share of domestic production and the regulatory environment becoming more complex, AI is emerging as a strategic tool, providing greater speed, technical quality, and analytical capacity for the industry's institutional representation.
