AI is already starting to support public service. Done right, it's bringing relief — not risk or revolution.
GovAI is trusted by more government agencies — from small to medium to large — to deploy AI across their staff, leadership, and citizens.
Magic wands that work on Day 1 for hundreds of real gov't tasks
Our anonymized dataset of government staff AI usage shows who/where/why/how government staff are using GovAI to streamline their work.
Government staff use GovAI for thousands of tasks across all departments and levels of seniority. Staff are rapidly building AI fluency and discovering how AI can support their work.
We've identified the most impactful GovAI tasks and built them into an adaptive interface that guides users to better results.

Hi, I'm Gander, Goose Town's assistant. How can I help you today?
Your citizens and visitors are already seeing how AI is transforming their personal and work lives — and will increasingly expect a similar step-up in service responsiveness from their governments.
From basic GenAI tasks to Custom Assistants to one-off custom Workflows, GovAI's data management and foundational approach provides the entire toolbox and expertise to streamline real work across staff, leadership, and citizen-facing tasks.
Start with the basics and get your staff and citizens to begin their journey in AI fluency, and as your organization progresses, start building and deploying Custom Assistants and Workflows/Agents for deeper and more sophisticated forms of work — all in a single, unified platform that provides the same foundational compliance, data management, and reporting.
Ingest and link your organizational knowledge via Folios so assistants and workflows can use a single source of truth — with connectors that fit how you already store data.
Custom Assistants go beyond quick answers. Each assistant can be configured with its own instructions, knowledge base, tools, and user access controls. This allows organizations to create AI assistants tailored to specific roles, departments, or workflows.

When you choose an AI platform for your organization, you're first and foremost choosing an architectural approach to scaffold your AI strategy from ground zero to future heights.
Security
Government workflows are held to a higher standard. Whether it's handling personally identifiable information (PII), legal & policy compliance, or citizen trust, GovAI’s Data Shield allows you to configure the rules for how sensitive information is handled.
Every prompt is scanned for 24+ types of PII.
Types of personally identifiable information detected and redacted, including government-relevant entities such as SSN, passport, and health identifiers
Apply custom rules to process PII. When found, it's removed before it reaches the underlying LLM model.
Data older than the retention period is removed automatically.
Data can be packaged and delivered to you for cold storage to meet your FOIA and FIPA requirements.
In 2023 we pioneered our '3 Zeroes Framework', with leading AI and Privacy advocates. It's now adopted by most organizations building software for government. The framework guides our underlying security and compliance position.
GovAI pioneered the framework that has now become standard across government AI technology. But just because it's common now doesn't mean it's not critically important .
GovAI is SOC 2 Type II compliant and committed to providing full transparency to our users via our Trust Center. You can see a real-time view of the controls and policies we have in place which are continuously monitored to ensure the platform remains safe and secure.
