White House Launches America.gov, AI Platform for Federal Services
President Trump launched America.gov, an AI-powered platform using Google's Gemini technology to consolidate access to federal services from 29,000 government websites. The platform currently provides official answers to citizen questions, with expanded functionality for completing government transactions planned for later in 2026 and 2027.

President Donald Trump announced the launch of America.gov on September 29, 2026, an artificial intelligence–powered digital platform designed to streamline citizen access to federal government services. The platform aggregates information from approximately 29,000 government websites into a single entry point, allowing users to ask questions in plain language and receive official answers without navigating multiple agency sites.
Google has been named a technology partner for the initiative, with its Gemini AI model supporting the platform's functionality. The platform is currently operational for providing information and answers; users can inquire about services such as business registration or legal name changes and receive step-by-step guidance with links to relevant government agencies. The White House stated that Americans currently spend approximately 10 billion hours annually dealing with federal paperwork, and America.gov aims to address this burden by simplifying interactions with government.
Trump signed an Executive Order directing the Administrator of General Services, the Administrator of the National Design Studio, and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to establish and operate America.gov as the single point of entry for federal services. The order mandates that executive agencies integrate their covered services—defined as public-facing federal services serving more than 100,000 users in a 12-month period that can be accessed or applied for online—into the platform. Tax filing services provided by the Internal Revenue Service and national-security-sensitive services are excluded from the mandate.
The platform prioritizes privacy protection, with the White House confirming that user personal information is neither collected nor stored, and conversations are deleted upon logout. Users access the service through a web browser without requiring a separate application download. Login.gov will be integrated with America.gov to provide authenticated access to services.
Expanded functionality is scheduled for rollout later in 2026 and continuing into 2027, enabling users to complete tasks such as passport applications, Medicare enrollment, and passport renewal directly on the platform. Future features announced include job matching, campground selection, medication cost comparison, legal name updates across multiple agencies, and housing search capabilities. The White House indicated that additional services will be added as federal agencies complete their integration with the platform.
Why This Matters
Citizens currently spend approximately 10 billion hours annually navigating federal paperwork across multiple websites. America.gov consolidates this by offering a single entry point for questions and information about federal services; expanded transaction capabilities (passport applications, Medicare enrollment, tax filing integration) scheduled for late 2026 and 2027 will affect how millions of Americans access government benefits and complete regulatory requirements. The Executive Order mandates that agencies serving over 100,000 users online integrate covered services into the platform, creating measurable changes to federal digital infrastructure.
