Trump Signs Executive Order Launching America.gov, an AI-Powered Federal Services Portal
President Trump on Tuesday unveiled America.gov, an AI-powered website designed to consolidate information from tens of thousands of federal webpages into a single searchable interface. Trump signed an executive order directing all federal agencies to integrate their websites with the new portal as soon as possible. The site went live the same day and currently allows users to type questions and receive AI chatbot-style responses.

The launch took place at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C., where Trump delivered remarks before signing the executive order. The site functions similarly to commercial AI tools — Trump referenced Grok, Gemini, and ChatGPT by name — and at present directs users on how to complete tasks rather than completing them on their behalf.
U.S. Chief Design Officer Joe Gebbia, credited by Fox News as a key figure in the site's creation, said that by 2027 the platform will allow citizens to fill out government forms and track application statuses directly. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced at the same event that Americans will be able to apply for their first U.S. passport through America.gov beginning in 2027, including the ability to upload their own passport photos, removing the need to visit a pharmacy or retail store.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz demonstrated the site's potential for Medicare-related services, bringing a woman named Lisa onstage who said she had spent more than a year attempting to enroll in Medicare. Oz stated the site "explains what applies to Lisa's situation and guides her through the decisions," and Lisa displayed a newly issued Medicare beneficiary card.
