    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.

      "at a high level" is doing a lot of work.

      I know some companies that at a high level want to "organize the world's information" or "build the future of human connection", yet have done innumerable cruel and harmful things to society (at least in my opinion).

        No, they are right. This is basically just GOV.uk for America, and GOV.uk by all accounts is an incredible success.

          usa.gov is a better resource and already existed.

            But it doesn't funnel billions in government money to the private sector.
