• The White House launched America.gov on Sept 29, a public chat for federal information powered by Google Gemini and xAI Grok, scanning roughly 29,000 government websites so answers come from official pages.
• Chief Design Officer Joe Gebbia says it aims to help over 100 million people access public resources; no account or ads required.
• V1 handles queries like replacing a Social Security card, registering a business, and booking park campsites; IRS tax filing and intelligence/defense services are excluded.
• Phase two, targeted for early 2027, would let users start or track tasks like passport and Medicare enrollment inside the chat.
• The same day, the president and six lab leaders signed a one-page accord asking companies to audit their own frontier models.
