ESDC Virtual Assistant (EVA) is a generative AI chatbot designed to empower Government of Canada employees with intelligent support for workplace tasks including summarizing documents, editing content, coding assistance, and research. The system uses OpenAI's GPT 4.0 mini model and has been approved for use with Protected B classified data, ensuring sensitive government information is handled appropriately.
This AI system is currently in production and is available to all GC employees as an internal tool. The chatbot learns from user-provided inputs to deliver personalized assistance while maintaining strict privacy protections and accessibility standards. All interactions are processed through Microsoft infrastructure, with careful safeguards in place to prevent unauthorized access to personal or confidential information.
Because this system processes personal information and makes recommendations that affect how employees work, we believe you should understand how it operates, what data it uses, and what protections are in place. This page provides transparent information about EVA's capabilities, data handling practices, and your rights when using this AI-powered service.
