How to read this page
These are general-purpose AI assistants: you type or speak and they answer, draft, summarise or translate. Availability and features change often, so each entry says what we checked and when. Last checked: 6 October 2026. If something here is out of date, please tell us.
GovAI does not recommend one tool over another and receives nothing from any of them.

Before using any of these for official work
Public versions are for public information. The free and personal versions of these tools send what you type to the provider's servers, usually outside Pakistan. Never put classified material (Secret, Confidential or Restricted) or citizens' personal data into them. See data leakage and data sovereignty.
Organisational versions are different, but still need approval. Business and enterprise versions, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, are designed to handle an organisation's data under its contract with the provider. Whether your department may use one for official information is a decision for your department, not for you individually.
Follow your department's rules. Use only tools your department has approved for official work and follow its information security instructions. The National AI Policy 2025 also calls for transparency about where AI is used in the public sector, so keep a note of how your office uses these tools.
Check every output. All of these tools can produce confident errors. See hallucination.
Watch out for fakes
Download apps only from the official Google Play or Apple App Store listing, or the company's own website. Fake "AI" apps and websites that imitate well-known tools are common and some exist to steal data or money. See our guide to using AI safely.
