Trump launches America.gov, an AI front door to federal services, and orders agencies to join

You can ask it anything today, but passports and Medicare have to wait until later this year.

By Think Facility · September 29, 2026 · US government AI policy

President Trump launched America.gov on September 29, 2026, a single website where Americans can ask the federal government a question in plain language and get an answer. He signed an executive order the same day telling agencies to plug their services into it.

The White House fact sheet says the site runs on "modern technology and Super Intelligence (SI)", the name Trump gave AI at the UN a week earlier. Google says Gemini is part of it.

What you can do on it

For now? Questions. The fact sheet says passport renewal and Medicare enrollment come later this year, with more services as agencies connect. You'll sign in with Login.gov.

The order aims high, though. It says America.gov "will not be merely another website, search engine, or directory of Government links," and that it should let the government do its own paperwork. The White House puts that paperwork at around 10 billion hours a year.

What the order promises about your data

I didn't expect an order this broad to spend so long on what it won't do. Agencies keep their own records and make their own decisions. Unifying access, it says, mustn't create a centralized Federal system of records on the American people, and data minimization is written in as policy.

Phone lines, mail and offices stay. America.gov is meant to be a better option (the order's words), and it says outright that it shouldn't become the only one.

Who's building it

The General Services Administration runs it, with the National Design Studio and the Office of Management and Budget. Google named itself a technology partner in a post by Jim Kelly, its vice president for federal work.

Neither the order nor the fact sheet names an AI company. And Google's post is short. It doesn't say what Gemini does on the site, or whether any other model is answering too.

OMB now has 90 days to send agencies a memo on how to connect their services.
