Andorra's government announced plans to give every public employee a Microsoft Copilot-style AI tool from 2027 to automate drafting and admin tasks — an early-stage plan with no rollout or usage data yet, building on a 2025 Andorra Digital-Google AI/cloud partnership.

Context
In April 2026, Andorra's Minister of Public Function and Digital Transformation, Marc Rossell, announced that the government plans to deploy a Microsoft Copilot-style generative-AI tool to every public administration employee starting in 2027, building on an existing Andorra Digital-Google partnership (announced 2025) covering AI, cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity, and following Andorra's February 2024 non-binding guidelines on trustworthy AI deployment.
Activities
The tool is intended to automate repetitive tasks such as drafting tender specifications and to speed up internal information management. Officials have said department-specific AI applications may also be developed once concrete needs are identified in particular services.
Conclusions
As of the announcement, the plan remains at the pre-deployment stage: no rollout, usage or productivity data exists yet -- a caveat that leaves Andorra's plan roughly where several other European governments' Copilot pilots stood before their own controlled evaluations, some of which later found no measurable productivity gain.
Implementation
Indicative cost
Low (< €50k) — No budget disclosed.
Time to results
Medium (1–3 years) — Announced April 2026; planned rollout from 2027.
