On 6 July 2026 Luxembourg added an AI chatbot to MyGuichet.lu, guiding citizens through 2,000 procedures in any language, 24/7, without personal-data access, plus a digital-mandate feature; launched a week before this review, with no usage data yet.
On 6 July 2026, Luxembourg's Minister of Digitalisation, Stéphanie Obertin, announced two new features on the government's MyGuichet.lu portal: an AI-powered conversational chatbot and a 'digital mandate' function. The chatbot lets citizens ask questions in their own language, at any time, rather than searching through the portal's roughly 2,000 administrative procedures, and the Minister stated it has no access to users' personal data. The digital-mandate feature lets any adult with a Luxembourg national registration number — or a person under guardianship — formally authorise someone else to carry out administrative procedures on their behalf via MyGuichet.lu.
As the announcement is roughly a week old at the time of this review, no usage, resolution-rate, or satisfaction data for the chatbot has been published, and independent coverage is currently limited to two Luxembourg news outlets reporting the ministerial announcement. Luxembourg's helpdesk for government digital services logged 42,600 support requests in 2025 (about 164 per day), which represents the baseline manual-support volume the chatbot is intended to help absorb — not a measured chatbot outcome.
This entry is included as a transparent, officially confirmed, very recent launch rather than as a demonstrated success; its evidence base will need to be revisited as usage data emerges.
