A White House official described the new AI tool as “a new front door for the federal government that will provide a one-stop shop for Americans looking for information and resources from the federal government that are currently spread over a maze of various agency websites.”
“Next week is really about the golden age of America, and really getting to showcase how it’s not just a statement, it’s actually being built,” Gebbia told Fox News Digital.
“What we’re really excited about is that one of the things that we’ve been building is the golden age of the citizen experience.”
Gebbia, who added that the day will mark a “new chapter of usability for the country,” said the new AI tool is built to solve a simple problem faced by Americans who have for decades dealt with clunky, often inefficient and overly complex government systems: “How do you make it easy to just access government?”

“You can imagine all the things that people try to get done or want to get done in the federal government, [and] just having a brand-new way to access and actually get to the things that people are trying to get to in the federal government,” he said.
The day will include panel discussions with other senior administration officials and top industry leaders on artificial intelligence, energy dominance, health, space and agriculture.
“This is really an incredible collection of people that are working in service to the nation and really showcasing what the future of America is, where we’re headed,” said Gebbia.
Gebbia says Americans shouldn’t have to accept that their interactions with the federal government are going to be negative or difficult to navigate.
“What if people didn’t say that? What if people have had a different sentiment? It’s entirely possible they can. It takes a president who cares about this, it takes an administration who wants to invest in it, and it takes the right talent to build it.”
“President Trump has those three things.”
