Gdynia became the first Polish city to put PLLuM, the state-backed Polish AI model, to work — powering a resident search engine for its Public Information Bulletin and a city chatbot, under an October 2025 deal with the government's NASK-led HIVE AI consortium.

Context

Gdynia, a coastal city of about 245,000 people with a history of early local-government tech adoption, signed an agreement on 1 October 2025 with the HIVE AI consortium -- led by state research institute NASK and including AGH University of Science and Technology and the Polish Academy of Sciences' Institute of Computer Science -- to deploy PLLuM, Poland's state-funded large language model, in city services.

Results

PLLuM powers Gdynia's municipal chatbot and lets residents search the Public Information Bulletin (BIP) archive using natural-language queries instead of exact keyword matches; city officials also use PLLuM-based tools internally. Poznan adopted a similar deployment shortly after, and the Ministry of Digital Affairs has cited Gdynia's pilot as a model for other Polish local governments.

Conclusions

As of a January 2026 project update, NASK's director described the Gdynia and Poznan deployments as still 'at its beginning,' with no usage statistics, resident-satisfaction figures, or measured time savings published for either city.
