  “Later this year, the government’s generative AI chatbot – GOV.UK Chat – will be added for everyone to use”

  Can it not? 🙄

    Can’t wait for the inevitable controversy when the official government chat bot tells someone to do something illegal, or gives dangerous advice leading to a death.

      Make it say “free palestine”

    This actually seems like a good place for it. If it can help answer questions and summarise more complicated subjects that might not seem obvious to someone then that’s useful.

      “If” doing quite a bit of the heavy lifting in that sentence.

  The GOV.UK App public beta will be available to download from 1 July in the Apple App store and Google marketplace.

  Can’t they provide an APK as well

  So it’s just an amp version of the gov.uk website? I assume so because after reading the article I’m no clearer on what the point of this app is actually supposed to be. Apparently I can customise it, a feature that I’ve got to I’ll be honest I’ve never felt was missing from the website.

  I actually think the gov.uk website is really quite good. Certainly a lot easier than it used to be with all of the services and departments having their own website, I’ve never really felt an app is necessary.
