AI Summary

President Donald Trump unveiled an AI‑powered chatbot named America.gov, intended to consolidate information from roughly 29,000 U.S. government websites and help users with tasks such as applying for a passport or registering a vehicle or business. Early testers discovered that the bot fails when asked to play Minecraft or when the word “hotdog” is entered, prompting visible changes to its functionality. The service aims to provide a single point of contact for a wide range of government services, though its current quirks limit certain queries.
