Platform Roadmap

Smart Island started with the labour market. Here's what's coming next as we expand into a broader intelligence platform for the Isle of Man.

Upcoming Features

AI & Careers Intelligence(5)

Interactive AI Avatar Careers Advisor

Planned

Interactive AI avatar with speech capabilities for career guidance conversations. Natural voice-driven interactions powered by real-time labour market intelligence from the Smart Island platform.

CV/Skills to Job Matching

Planned

Upload a CV or describe your skills and experience in natural language, and the platform will match you against live IoM vacancies using AI-powered skill extraction and occupational classification.

AI Skills Taxonomy Mapping

Planned

Map the Smart Island canonical skill registry to established international skills frameworks (SFIA 9, ESCO, DigComp 2.1, WEF Global Skills Taxonomy) to enable cross-framework skill comparisons and labour market analysis.

AI Skills Taxonomy Crosswalking

Planned

Build crosswalk tables between international skills frameworks, enabling translation of skill requirements between SFIA, ESCO, DigComp, and O*NET taxonomies. Essential for cross-border labour market comparisons and skills portability analysis.

UCM Course Advisor

Planned

AI-powered advisor that maps University College Isle of Man courses to labour market demand, skills gaps, and career outcomes — helping students choose courses aligned with real employment data.

Data Sources & Integration(5)

Additional Job Source Integrations

Planned

Scrape and integrate additional IoM job sources beyond the government portal — recruitment agencies, LinkedIn, Indeed, and sector-specific boards — to provide a more complete picture of the labour market.

Vehicle Trends

Planned

Isle of Man vehicle registration data — fleet composition, EV adoption rates, vehicle age distribution, and trends over time. Useful for transport policy and infrastructure planning.

Companies Registry

Planned

Structured data from the IoM Companies Registry — company incorporations, dissolutions, sector classification, and formation trends.

Economic Data

Planned

Key Isle of Man economic indicators — GDP estimates, inflation, employment rates, population figures, and sectoral output — aggregated from IOMG publications and treasury reports.

IOMG Open Data Wrappers

Planned

API wrappers and MCP tools for Isle of Man Government open data feeds — planning applications, public notices, timetables, and other published datasets — making them queryable by AI assistants.

Infrastructure & Platform(2)

IoT Sensor Network

In progress

Real-time environmental data from weather stations, rain gauges, soil moisture sensors, and air quality monitors deployed across the island. Live dashboards and historical trend analysis.

Azure AI Foundry Local

Planned

Integrate Azure AI Foundry Local for on-premise processing of sensitive data — enabling private AI enrichment and analysis without data leaving the island.
