America.gov: a Gemini and Grok chatbot for US government services
FedScoop· 29 SepThe White House launched America.gov, an AI chatbot that draws on roughly 29,000 federal websites to answer questions and point people to the right service, such as passports, replacing a Social Security card or booking a campsite. It is powered by Google's Gemini and xAI's Grok. By 2027 it is meant to let people submit documents and complete processes on the site.
- If you deal with US agencies, try it on a question you already know the answer to before relying on it.
- Keep official source links for any answer that affects a filing or deadline, in case the chatbot gets it wrong.
