Federal services now answer through a single chatbot. The Trump administration switched on America.gov on Tuesday, aiming to replace a maze of roughly 29,000 government websites with one conversational front door.
Google’s Gemini and Elon Musk’s Grok sit behind the interface, US Chief Design Officer Joe Gebbia told CNBC. Google confirmed its part in a blog post, saying Gemini would help more than 100 million people reach public resources. SpaceXAI, the company formed when Musk’s xAI merged into SpaceX, stayed silent.
Gebbia’s claim is that the tool scans official sources and returns answers built only from government material, sparing users the stale or wrong information he associates with third-party sites.
President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and industry leaders attended the launch at Washington’s Mellon Auditorium, where panels covered energy, health, space and agriculture.
Skeptics see a familiar hazard. Language models still invent plausible detail, and a bad answer about a filing deadline, a benefit renewal or a tax rule carries consequences. TechCrunch noted that official pages vary in reliability, and that confident delivery is not accuracy. The administration has published no error rate and no route to appeal bad guidance.
