An AI powered portal/website that centralizes access to government, its programs and services. The first steps to automate administration.
Right now, it is merely a kind of search engine but promises to become the processing hub for all government chicanery, without the annoying civil servant’s snicker of derision.

I dislike AI but this is perhaps useful.
I have asked it 3 questions:
What is the white house ballroom?
The White House State Ballroom is a planned addition to the White House complex for large official events.
According to the White House, it is meant to host functions for world leaders and other guests without using a tent on the grounds. Official figures given in 2025:
- About 90,000 square feet of space
- Seated capacity of about 650 (the East Room seats about 200)
- Sited where the East Wing stood (East Wing built 1902; second story added 1942)
- Described as substantially separated from the main White House, with a similar architectural theme
Sources: White House announcement (July 31, 2025) · The White House Building · Statement on beginning construction (Oct. 20, 2025)
The White House has said the ballroom is privately funded. Cost figures and the mix of private vs. public money have been described differently in later White House remarks, congressional letters, and news reports; I cannot independently verify a single current cost. Some members of Congress have asked GAO to review the project.
Visitor tours and event access are managed through official White House channels: whitehouse.gov.

what kind of bunker are they building under the ball room at the white house?
Official remarks describe below-grade security and support space under the ballroom, not a named public “bunker” program with a published design.
In a May 19, 2026, walkthrough, the President said lower levels include:
- A military hospital
- Research facilities
- Meeting rooms for military use with the ballroom
- Additional security-related rooms
He described the ballroom as a protective “shield” over those lower floors, with a deep excavation (he said on the order of several stories; he used both “three floors” and “about six stories” in the same remarks). He also referred to drone capability on the roof and related security systems.
Sources: Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents (DCPD-202600347) · Senate Democratic Caucus transcript of the same visit
The White House has treated security features (including a hospital under the ballroom and a rooftop drone center) as separate from the privately funded ballroom itself. Detailed layouts, hardening ratings, and operational use are not in the public documents above.
I cannot verify classified construction details beyond these public statements.
what kind of research facilities will be underneath the white house ball room?
I’ll look up official descriptions of what’s planned under the White House ballroom.
Public official sources do not name a specific kind of research facility under the ballroom.
The only official mention is in the President’s May 19, 2026, construction walkthrough. He said lower levels include a military hospital, “all sorts of research facilities,” and meeting rooms for military use with the ballroom. He did not identify the research fields, agencies, or equipment. DCPD-202600347 (PDF)
Planning materials for the East Wing Modernization Project describe the above-ground program (event space, kitchen, First Lady office suite, replacement movie theater). They do not list underground research labs. NCPC project page · NCPC staff report (March 2026 PDF)
The White House has described security-related below-grade work (including a hospital) as separate from the ballroom itself. Detailed underground program information is not in those public documents, so I cannot verify what research, if any, will occur there.
