Municipal AI Process Design Fellowship
Tutubi AI Fellows
Tutubi AI Fellows
The Tutubi Fellowship is for municipal professionals who are ready to strengthen governance and public service delivery in their communities. Over 12 weeks, you will not just learn—you will build and deploy AI tools that improve planning, data use, documentation, reporting, and decision support at the local level.
You bring real experience working in your municipality. We provide the structure, support, and technological tools to help you build practical systems that work in real local government settings.
The dragonfly—known in Filipino as tutubi—has a unique capability: each eye contains up to 30,000 lenses, giving it nearly 360-degree sight. It processes complexity in motion and responds with clarity and accuracy.
This inspires Dragonfly Thinking—a disciplined way of enhancing local systems:
Seeing whole processes, not isolated tasks
Understanding patterns in data and workflows
Acting with speed without losing quality
Applying tools that support real service delivery
This mindset drives the fellowship: see clearly, act responsibly, and build intelligently.
