President Trump and Vice President Vance debuted America.gov, a new website powered by artificial intelligence designed to make it easier for people to find government information and access federal services, according to NBC News, The Hill, Fox Business and the Washington Examiner. Leaders from major technology companies joined the launch, per NBC News.
The site aims to consolidate resources that are currently spread across different federal agency websites into a single place, according to the Washington Examiner. The Hill reported the rollout reflects Trump leaning further into the global AI race, showing little appetite for regulation on the industry despite growing anxieties over it.
According to the Independent Journal Review, America.gov launched Sept. 29, 2026, and scrapes more than 29,000 government websites; Trump also signed an order for agencies to integrate their services with the tool. This claim was reported by a single outlet.
The Washington Examiner reported the announcement was scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday, with the White House saying the tool will help people interact with the federal government.
