Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We hired a development agency to design and build a custom, AI-powered program finder for Pause Play, a Washington, DC initiative helping students and families discover afterschool and enrichment programs. The goal was to transform a complex government program database into an intuitive, mobile-friendly experience that allows users to quickly find personalized program recommendations based on their age, interests, location, schedule, and budget.
The project involved end-to-end web application development, including an AI-powered conversational chatbot, intelligent program matching and ranking, voice-to-text functionality, real-time search refinements, program bookmarking, and integration with DC's official Learn24/MOST program database.
The agency was also responsible for backend architecture, automated data synchronization, administrative tools, analytics, AWS infrastructure, and deployment. The finished application was designed to integrate seamlessly into the existing Pause Play website, making it easier for families to discover relevant opportunities and navigate to enrollment.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

App was created on-time and within budget. The timeline was an incredibly tight timeline and I personally did not think they would be able to meet it. But they were true to their word and delviered in-full and on time. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Very communicative, especially considering the tight timeline and mulitlple milestone deadlines that everyone involved needed to meet in order for them to dliver on time.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their communication and responsiveness stood out. Their ability to not just say yes, we can do it...but actually commit and deliver

Are there any areas for improvement or something NewCombin could have done differently?

The project manager/lead did not join initially, in the first two meetings I think. It was a tad bumpy of a start out the gate as we were working directly with the developers. But once the project manager joined, and took over lead on comms, everything went as smooth as could be.
