Imported from official source

Announcement

In the afternoon of Tuesday, July 28, a major earthquake with a maximum seismic intensity of 7 occurred in Kumamoto Prefecture. We would like to express our heartfelt sympathies to all those affected.
Digital Agency has decided to urgently provide the "Government AI generative AI," a GENAI usage facility provided to government officials, to the affected local governments, related local governments, disaster response agencies, and others.

  • The emergency provision has ended except for some disaster-stricken municipalities.
  • When large-scale disasters occur, it is necessary to investigate, organize, and analyze various disaster-related information. Since much more work than usual is concentrated at once, disaster-stricken local governments will be able to temporarily carry out related work using the Government AI GENAI.

  • Start of offering: July 29, 2026 (Wed) around 11 o'clock
  • *The emergency provision period for GENAI ended on September 30. In response to requests from some of the affected municipalities, we are re-extending the period until the end of fiscal 2026.
  • Chat (interactive AI), some AI apps, prompt example

  • * There is no function for the storage, sharing, or exchange of users' information. The function is not provided.
  • *This service is no longer available.

    Eligible people who can use the GENAI urgently are as follows.
    In addition to the municipalities affected by the Kumamoto Earthquake, municipalities engaged in support activities in the affected areas, fire defense headquarters / fire departments, medical teams, support organizations, designated public institutions, and disaster volunteer groups can also use the system.
