CANChat is a generative AI chatbot that helps Government of Canada employees draft documents, conduct research, and manage knowledge using unclassified government information. It is trained on Canadian data — including 50 terabytes of government web content — and runs on servers located in Canada. Users are informed they are interacting with an AI system, and the tool is intended only for unclassified work.
