Ask any question about German public offices in your own language: Anmeldung, residence permits, Kindergeld, taxes, driving licences. Ask Germany answers only from official government sources (46,641 pages from federal, state and ~370 city and district websites), links every statement to its source, and names the responsible office where you live. If the sources don't cover it, it says so. No account, no cookies, questions never stored. Independent, not a government website.

Could you build this?
Partial A RAG chatbot over official sources is buildable with AI tooling, but crawling and keeping about 46k pages from hundreds of government sites current, along with accuracy and liability for legal guidance, is hard.
What it would actually take: The stack is a crawler with scheduled re-indexing, a vector store, multilingual retrieval, and an LLM that cites sources. The hard parts are maintaining coverage across heterogeneous municipal sites and ensuring answers are accurate and legally sound, which needs domain review and possibly legal or public-administration expertise.
