Employees of the General Services Administration, which manages government real estate and certain IT efforts, have been given a custom chatbot from Elon Musk\u2019s DOGE<\/ins><\/a> to help automate tasks, according to a new report from Wired<\/ins><\/em><\/a>, with an internal memo telling workers it can be used to \u201cdraft emails, create talking points, summarize text, write code.\u201d The chatbot, GSAi, gives users a choice of three models \u2014 Claude Haiku 3.5 (the default), Claude Sonnet 3.5 v2 and Meta Llama 3.2 \u2014 and is ultimately meant to be used to \u201canalyze contract and procurement data,\u201d Wired<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n

The GSA is one of the many agencies that have been affected by the federal government\u2019s mass job cuts<\/ins><\/a>, and has so far let go upwards of 1,000 workers, sources told NPR<\/ins><\/em><\/a> in a report published this week. That includes roughly 90 people from its tech branch, according to Wired<\/em>. In memos about the new chatbot seen by Wired<\/em>, workers were told not to input \u201cfederal nonpublic information,\u201d personally identifiable information or \u201ccontrolled unclassified information.\u201d It was reportedly tested among a smaller group last month before rolling out to the roughly 1,500 workers who now have access, with plans to expand down the line.<\/p>\n
