The US leads the world technologically, economically, and culturally. Today is the beginning of our next leap. So, Mr. President, members of the cabinet, and fellow Americans, here it is.
Wow!
Thank you. Welcome to america.gov, the new online home for the United States of America. For the first time, there's one place to get everything done across the entire government. 29,000 websites in one. Enrollments, benefits, renewals — finish your lists without ever leaving the site. Need to enroll in Medicare? Check eligibility, compare plans, and apply directly on america.gov. Check in on a student loan? You can do it right on the site. Address change with the postal service? No stress. Serve the country and need to find care? Done in a few clicks. Go back to being a patriot.
Now, let me show you an example of how this is going to work and our roadmap of what's available today and what's coming in 2027. This is really cool. Imagine you just got married. Need to change your name. Some people put it off for months. Some may have been putting it off for years. You know who you are. With america.gov, you start by simply saying, 'I just got married. How do I change my name?' Now, look at this. For the first time — and this is incredibly cutting edge — your search on america.gov spans across multiple agencies and guides you on exactly what you need to do. Ask any question and get official answers only from government sources. This alone is a game-changer and it's available to you starting today.
But our vision for america.gov shouldn't stop at just getting you the right information quickly. It should do it for you. So, here's a glimpse of what's coming in 2027. Watch this. And look at that. The future of chat conversation will include an action. You'll be able to change your name right on the platform. Let's click start and see what happens. Just like that, america.gov goes to work. This would have taken weeks of your time, multiple filings cutting across different agencies' websites. That's if you even knew where to start. So, all you have to do is focus on what matters. Enter your new name, drop in your marriage certificate, and there you have it. In a few keystrokes, your name change is submitted. Enjoy the honeymoon. It's pretty cool, right?
I see a lot of smiles over here. But let's not stop there. The site is like a good hotel concierge, guiding you to the best answers for your questions and to the next steps, such as a checklist with links to finish your name change at the state level. But let's not stop there. Ever notice how you submit something on a government website and you have no idea what happens next? You're totally in the dark. So what if we did something really unexpected and took it one step further? Since you're logged in, when you go back to the home page, what if we just show you transparently where you are and what comes next? Our vision is that one day this type of convenience and simplicity will be across every government service. Buying a national parks pass, setting up a Trump account for your kids, comparing drug prices — these are the kinds of things you'll be able to do on america.gov beginning next year.
Under the hood, america.gov is an extraordinary use of AI designed to improve your life. It's trained specifically on one official source of truth: the United States government. So thank you to all the agencies government-wide, those 29,000 websites, 800 million pages, billions of pieces of information that are now available in one easy-to-use website for every American. Let's hear it for all the federal agencies that work hard every day on behalf of citizens. Thank you.
So how fresh is the information you're getting on america.gov? Immediate. The moment the government publishes something new, the site is updated within minutes. Faster than the news and without ads. So no ruining family travel plans or missing a filing deadline because you checked an outdated third-party website. The whole thing is pretty amazing. All this, by the way, is private by design. It doesn't keep your personal information or your conversations. You're not required to log in to use it, and it doesn't track you.
So, what does our roadmap look like? Starting today, you can ask anything and get answers that are accurate, cross-agency, and up-to-date. From searching for government jobs to hunting for government UFO files, any information you need, america.gov will get it for you instantly, so long as it's unclassified. This is only the start. Beginning in 2027, america.gov expands from answers to actions. In a few months, we'll start rolling out the ability to complete forms, track progress, and organize everything in one place. Before you know it, you'll be able to do some of the cool things I just showed you. But I don't want to give it all away because we have some very exciting speakers coming up next. So, all this adds up to a lot more time saved for Americans on one big, beautiful site.
There was a time when Americans entered great public buildings to meet our government. And when they did, the spaces achieved a user experience unlike anything else. Classic paintings and murals by great American artists, or neat woodworking, gleaming marble floors, coffered ceilings. Before a word was spoken, they communicated something: you deserve dignity and respect. Those great civic lobbies of the past were designed to bring the American people and their government together. America.gov carries that idea into the age of super intelligence to reimagine a government built around you. That respects your time. That works for you. That we can be proud of as Americans. This is America.gov's promise to you. I'm excited for this initial launch today. I'm even more excited for what's to come in the future. So, let's give a big round of applause to President Trump, the cabinet, the National Design Studio, and Forest at GSA, Nano at SSA and IRS, and all the agencies government-wide for making this possible. Thank you.
Thank you.
