Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Many ministry teams were exploring generative AI, but often with separate tools and duplicated technical efforts, so the government wanted a shared, secure assistant for public servants that reduces fragmentation.
The solution
The Interministerial AI Assistant is a secure, government-wide chat tool that helps public servants draft and improve text, summarize long documents and answer day-to-day questions. The service is hosted on secure infrastructure, usage is monitored to manage costs, and it is designed as a shared tool that can evolve with ministry needs.
Reported business value
In the 2025 pilot, the source says the assistant helped public servants draft, summarize and search information faster. Impact was tracked through adoption, usage statistics and qualitative feedback; more time saved on routine tasks is described as an expected future result, and no measured outcomes are given.
