The United States government has launched a new AI-powered website, America.gov, which President Donald Trump says will serve as a single digital gateway for Americans seeking federal services, including visa and passport applications.
Trump announced the platform as a direct response to the difficulty millions of Americans face when trying to access government information spread across thousands of separate websites, forms, and rulebooks.

How America.gov works
Rather than requiring users to search through multiple portals or learn different navigation systems, the new website lets visitors type questions in everyday language and receive instant, official responses.
The platform draws on artificial intelligence to interpret queries and return relevant government guidance without the user needing to locate specific forms or pages.

"Anyone who has used Grok or Gemini or ChatGPT will understand instantly," Trump said in remarks tied to the launch.
The White House described the platform as organising government services around the user rather than around the structure of individual agencies. According to the administration, Americans currently spend billions of hours each year searching for official information across fragmented government websites, a problem America.gov is intended to solve.
One front door for federal services
The administration said the platform is intended to cover a broad range of federal services, with visa and passport-related queries among the key use cases highlighted at launch. Officials described it as giving citizens one place to start, regardless of which agency handles the underlying service.
The website is accessible at america.gov.
