"According to a session description for the 2025 European Political Community Summit, which Albania hosted in May 2025, Djella started life in 2024 as a virtual assistant that Albanian citizens could use to answer questions about government services. Version 2.0, launched in early 2025, was "an intelligent avatar integrating natural language understanding with vocal and visual interaction, providing real-time information for public services and online applications on e-Albania.""
"The PM wants Djella to "become the servant of public procurements", all of which he wants conducted by AI, "making Albania a country where public tenders are 100 percent incorruptible and where every public fund that goes through the tender procedure is 100 percent legible." "This is not science fiction, but it is one of Djella's duties," Rama added."
Djella began in 2024 as a virtual assistant to answer citizen questions about government services. Version 2.0, launched in early 2025, added natural language understanding with vocal and visual interaction to supply real-time information for e-government applications. Djella 3.0 enabled full voice-command interaction so citizens can complete service requests using conversational language, improving digital accessibility. Local reports indicate Djella runs on Microsoft Azure OpenAI and recent AI models. A proposal was made to appoint Djella as a government minister tasked with running AI-conducted public procurements to increase transparency and reduce corruption.
