GovTech Singapore AIBots
GovTech's no-code platform for Singapore public officers to build RAG chatbots
Overview
AIBots is a GovTech Singapore platform on which public officers build and share retrieval-augmented chatbots over their agency's own documents, classified up to Restricted / Sensitive (Normal), without code. It started at a 2023 hackathon, reached version 1.0 in August 2024 and by GovTech's February 2026 count held more than 28,000 bots. It is reachable only from the Singapore government network.

ASEAN Perspective
GovTech Singapore AIBots in Southeast Asia
AIBots is GovTech Singapore's answer to a common problem in public agencies: giving non-engineers a way to build an AI assistant on top of their own documents without a full procurement cycle. GovTech Singapore's platform lets an officer build a retrieval-augmented chatbot over agency knowledge bases in under fifteen minutes, and it accepts content classified up to Restricted and Sensitive — the clearance level, not the speed, is what makes it usable for real government work. Like Pair, it is closed to anyone outside the Singapore public service, so read it as a model other governments in the region can copy rather than a tool to adopt.
AIBots is a well-judged internal platform: officers build a document-grounded chatbot in minutes, choose among Gemini, Claude and OpenAI models, and share it, while GovTech's approval rules catch high-risk uses. Its reported growth, from 6,600 bots in late 2024 to more than 28,000 by February 2026, comes from GovTech itself.
Outsiders cannot use it, there is no API yet, and agencies pay unpublished token charges above a free tier. For ASEAN governments it is a model worth studying; for anyone else it is a reference, not a purchase.
What we found
AIBots is GovTech Singapore's internal platform on which public officers build their own retrieval-augmented chatbots: upload agency documents, write the bot's instructions, pick a creativity level and share the result with colleagues, with no code. It began at a GovTech hackathon in July 2023, spread by word of mouth and reached version 1.0 on 7 August 2024. Documents can be classified up to Restricted / Sensitive (Normal), which is what consumer AI tools cannot take, and the site is reachable only from the government network.
Adoption numbers depend on which GovTech page you read. The developer portal, still badged proof of concept, shows 23,500 users, 101 agencies and 6,600 bots for August to October 2024. The main product page, updated October 2026, shows 40,000 users, 115 agencies, 12,000 bots and a million messages to February 2025. The team's own blog said in February 2026 that more than 28,000 bots had been built and that users made up about half the public service, roughly 70,000 officers. All of these are GovTech's own figures.
Earlier versions of this page said it was not publicly priced. GovTech's portal says otherwise: agencies pay token-based charges rather than per-seat subscriptions, and every officer gets a free tier, though rates are not published. Officers can choose among Gemini, Claude and OpenAI models, and a long-context toggle sits beside retrieval for large knowledge bases. There is no API; endpoints, an agency admin portal and higher classification levels are on the published roadmap.
Governance is built in: high-risk bots, covering health, legal, infrastructure and security, need sign-off from GovTech's AI Development Group before release. The surroundings are shifting. The Straits Times reported in June 2026 that more than half of Singapore's 150,000 public officers use Pair, and that an AI Assistant Desk suite with a registry of AI agents was being tested. GovTech has not said how AIBots fits into it.
