Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has launched a custom AI chatbot, named GSAi, to assist employees of the US General Services Administration (GSA) in automating various tasks. This tool aims to help with drafting emails, creating talking points, summarizing text, and writing code. Approximately 1,500 workers have access to the chatbot, with plans for further expansion. The introduction of GSAi comes amidst federal job cuts affecting numerous government employees, including those at GSA. The chatbot offers three models for use: Claude Haiku 3.5, Claude Sonnet 3.5 v2, and Meta Llama 3.2. The initiative is part of a broader effort to incorporate AI tools in government operations, with other agencies also considering similar technologies.
