A White House official described the new AI tool as “a new front door for the federal government that will provide a one-stop shop for Americans looking for information and resources from the federal government that are currently spread over a maze of various agency websites.”

“What we’re really excited about is that one of the things that we’ve been building is the golden age of the citizen experience.”

“President Trump has those three things.”
