Five things to know about Trump’s new AI website

President Trump launched America.gov on Tuesday, a website that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help Americans find information across government websites with a single search.

Trump said the website has been in the works since the early days of his second term and that it’s still a work in progress. The website’s unveiling took place at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. were industry leaders and administration officials participated in presentations and discussions.

“Whether you’re a scout leader who wants to reserve a campsite at a national park, a senior citizen trying to choose a Medicare plan, or an American veteran trying to get the benefits that you’ve earned and so justly deserve, America.gov will be there to help and to help you accurately and quickly,” Trump said in his speech at the event.

Here are five things to know about the AI-powered website:

The General Services Administration (GSA) engineered the platform in partnership with the National Design Studio, per a release from the agency. ​

U.S. Chief Design Officer Joe Gebbia told CNBC Tuesday ahead of the site’s launch that the website is powered by Google’s Gemini and Elon Musk’s Grok.

​“Hello, America,” the website says. “Whatever you need from government, start here.”

​The website states it is free to use with no ads, and no account is required. Under the frequently asked questions section, it says the website “does not provide campaign or party information.”

The acting director of Technology Transformation Services at GSA, Sam Corcos, is overseeing the project. He is a former member of Trump’s shuttered Department of Government Efficiency.

​Trump claimed Tuesday that the website “cannot, in theory, be hacked into,” noting that “everying is totally private” and “personal information is not collected or stored.”

Just government-related queries accepted

The website says it takes information from 29,000 websites, and all answers are “exclusively sourced from federal, state, and local websites.” It does not answer questions about politics, culture or health, for example.

“The accuracy of our answers is never influenced by third parties,” the website says.

Users can search a question by typing or via voice. The search bar on the website’s home page offers examples of possible questions: “How do I replace my Social Security card? “I just got married. How do I change my last name?” “When do I qualify for Medicare?”

Users can also attach a document, and the AI tool will aim to help make sense of the file. The website notes that detailed queries prompt more helpful responses.

“The more specific you get, the better we answer, right down to your dates, state, and circumstances,” it says.

Passport, name change applications available in 2027

The website is still new, but it says in 2027 that users will be able to apply for and renew passports online.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid out the process Tuesday. The site would allow an applicant to submit their information, upload a photo, and track its approval and shipment.

He said users will be able to see the photo in a mockup of a passport and can retake their photos.

“No printing forms, no drug store hostage photo, no appointment, no line, no middleman that you’re paying to do something that should be available to you,” Rubio said.

The website also says users will be able to update their legal name across all agencies.

The platform will also eventually allow users to enroll in Medicare and simplify the process.

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz showed how the website would work Tuesday.

He said the platform will also show users which providers in their area take Medicare, along with available appointment times. The site will also allow appointment bookings.

Oz said the site will also allow users to compare prescription coverage.

Job application tool in the pipeline too

The site will also allow users to upload resumes and apply to government positions in 2027, according to the administration.

For now, people can find and apply to federal jobs at USAJobs.gov .
