President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance are expected to unveil America.gov on Sept. 29, introducing an AI-powered portal designed to give Americans a single entry point for information and services now spread across federal agency websites.

The Trump administration is preparing to launch an artificial intelligence-powered federal portal intended to simplify how Americans find government information and access services across agencies.
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance are expected to formally unveil America.gov during an all-day Washington event Tuesday, Sept. 29, according to Fox News. The administration describes the website as a centralized gateway for Americans who currently must navigate separate federal websites to complete different government tasks.
The initiative is being presented as part of a broader effort to redesign the public’s digital interactions with the federal government.
A White House official described the project as “a new front door for the federal government that will provide a one-stop shop for Americans looking for information and resources from the federal government that are currently spread over a maze of various agency websites.”
The Sept. 29 event will include administration officials and prominent technology executives, with panel discussions planned around artificial intelligence, energy, healthcare, space and agriculture, Fox News reported.
Expected participants include Elon Musk, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.
Joe Gebbia, who heads the National Design Studio, is also expected to play a central role in the unveiling. The Airbnb co-founder serves as the administration’s U.S. chief design officer and has described the America.gov effort as an attempt to rethink the often-fragmented experience of interacting with federal agencies.
“Next week is really about the golden age of America, and really getting to showcase how it’s not just a statement, it’s actually being built,” Gebbia told Fox News Digital.
“What we’re really excited about is that one of the things that we’ve been building is the golden age of the citizen experience.”
Gebbia said the underlying problem is straightforward: federal services have traditionally been divided among numerous agencies, websites and systems, leaving citizens to determine which department handles a particular request.
The new portal is intended to provide a more unified route into those systems rather than requiring users to begin by identifying the correct federal agency.
Gebbia said the launch would represent a “new chapter of usability for the country” and described the central design question as: “How do you make it easy to just access government?”
“You can imagine all the things that people try to get done or want to get done in the federal government, [and] just having a brand-new way to access and actually get to the things that people are trying to get to in the federal government,” he said.
The precise range of services available when America.gov launches has not yet been fully detailed publicly.
Earlier reporting by The Washington Sun said administration officials were considering incorporating functions such as passport renewals and free federal tax filing into the broader platform.
Those features were under consideration while the project was still being developed and should not be treated as confirmed launch-day capabilities.
The website’s use of AI is expected to focus on helping visitors identify and reach the federal information or service they need without manually searching through numerous agency websites. Fox News reported that administration officials view the project as a way to improve what they call the “citizen experience” with government.
The rollout also brings some of the technology industry’s most prominent executives into the administration’s presentation of its federal AI strategy.
Musk, Huang and Limp are expected to appear alongside Cabinet officials and agency leaders as the event moves beyond the America.gov demonstration into discussions of how technology could affect other areas of federal policy and the U.S. economy.
“This is really an incredible collection of people that are working in service to the nation and really showcasing what the future of America is, where we’re headed,” Gebbia said.
He also rejected the idea that frustrating encounters with government websites should simply be accepted as unavoidable.
“What if people didn’t say that? What if people have had a different had a different sentiment? It’s entirely possible they can. It takes a president who cares about this, it takes an administration who wants to invest in it, and it takes the right talent to build it.”
“President Trump has those three things.”
Tuesday’s event is expected to provide the first detailed public look at how America.gov works, what federal systems it connects to at launch and how extensively AI will be used to guide Americans through government services.
