    OK, there's a lot of negative comments here, but this is a great idea at a high level. It really is hard to figure out where to do a thing and it's also very easy to get phished. If they can figure out how to help people get all the services they're eligible for that'll be an amazing improvement for the people.

      Yes, but what AI powers the backend right now? Grok? Who's in charge of that and being paid for compute?

        I believe it's a mix of Gemini and Grok. They are probably providing the compute for free.

          I very much doubt it's free.

            It would be worth testing, but yes, it’s unlikely that whatever model (s) are behind it they are tuned and guardrailed to, e.g., only give official government information from government domains.

            That being said, I’m aware of a vulnerability in that regard of it is attending to guardrail answers to the .gov and .mil domains.
