Kazakhstan's AI Ministry began testing AlemGPT in January 2026 — a ChatGPT-style assistant meant to let citizens complete public services by describing their situation in text — atop an eGov platform serving 11.7M mobile users, but with no usage results yet disclosed.

Context
AlemGPT is a multi-agent conversational AI platform that Kazakhstan's Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development began testing in January 2026, intended to replace eGov portal navigation with a ChatGPT-style dialogue. It sits atop an already large digital-government base: as of 2025, Kazakhstan's eGov.kz portal and eGov Mobile app together had over 15.1 million and 11.7 million registered users respectively, delivered 51.5 million online services during the year, and made roughly 90% of the country's 1,300+ public services available online. In August 2025 the eGov Mobile app separately added an 'AI intelligent search' feature.
Objectives
Officials describe AlemGPT as evolving toward a 'fully fledged AI assistant' and have stated an intention to migrate up to 40% of public services onto AI-integrated delivery, though this figure is reported elsewhere and not officially confirmed.
Activities
The pilot was announced on 6 January 2026 and, as of the most recent reporting in May 2026, AlemGPT itself had not processed a publicly disclosed volume of citizen interactions. The figures on eGov.kz and eGov Mobile usage describe the surrounding platform, not AlemGPT.
Conclusions
Independent Kazakhstani outlets and international coverage (Euronews) confirm the platform is still in a testing phase, with no usage statistics, accuracy rates, error rates or independent evaluation published anywhere, and no third-party assessment of AlemGPT's performance, data-handling practices or risk of error found. This is included as a transparent, real, but currently unevidenced pilot.
