Evidence snapshot for Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires has deployed multiple digital governance initiatives to improve citizen access and transparency. Boti, the city's WhatsApp government chatbot, handled a peak of 11 million conversations in January 2022 and has sustained several million monthly conversations since, now powered by generative AI. The city also launched BAData, an open-data portal in 2012, which grew to over 400 datasets from 35+ agencies and has been sustained across four consecutive Open Government Partnership action plans through 2025. These initiatives demonstrate the city's focus on meeting residents at scale on widely-used channels and publishing municipal data, though the available evidence does not quantify outcomes like service resolution rates or documented data reuse.
