What happened
OPM released FWD Chat, or Federal Workforce Data Chat, a public beta that answers plain English questions about federal workforce data by translating them into SQL queries against its data. The source says it was officially released to the public in a testing phase, with the intention of making improvements as officials get user feedback. OPM's CIO said it is built on an OpenAI model and took about three months to build, and OPM plans to gather feedback for a month and later integrate it with America.gov. This is a third-party report.
