NWSChat 2.0 - MDL
The MDL Weather Information Applications Division (WIAD) supported a variety of development, training and implementation tasks for NWSChat 2.0 (via Slack) which was rolled out to NWS during 2023. WIAD supported the rollout of NWSChat 2.0 to Pacific Region during an initial test and evaluation phase and ultimately all internal NWS operational staff, and external core partners in a highly effective manner. This included continuously answering user requests (via a highly visible end to end method we developed in Slack for tracking user requests), and iteratively enhancing the IMS/NWSChat 2.0 registration process through feedback obtained from the field and EM Community. In addition, WIAD worked closely with the Senior Science Advisor for Cloud Computing, Office of Dissemination, the Analyze Forecast and Support Office, and users to both operationalize and iteratively enhance the NWSChat 2.0 Registration System and WxBot applications.
