A chatbot developed by a senior staffer of Elon Musk is aimed at assisting the Department of Government Efficiency in cutting government waste. This tool is publicly accessible and uses a large language model powered by xAI’s Grok 2, focusing on key government efficiency principles. Although it's unclear if the chatbot is currently used in operational capacities, it offers recommendations like eliminating bureaucratic layers within agencies. Prominent models for DOGE's approach include leaders such as Margaret Thatcher and Lee Kuan Yew, revealing a clear directive to improve government operations.
The chatbot reverts to these five principles on a wide array of topics. When TechCrunch asked the chatbot which twentieth century political leaders DOGE should emulate, it applied the guiding principles and responded with two people: U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, saying they provide "excellent models for DOGE".
The chatbot calls itself the "Department of Government Efficiency AI Assistant" and says it is powered by xAI's Grok 2. The chatbot told TechCrunch it is here to "help government personnel like you identify and eliminate waste, improve efficiency, and streamline processes using a first principles approach."
