      GovNav - Services Agent

π Project Description
Service Agent is an AI-powered platform that helps Australians easily discover, understand, and access government services at lifeβs most critical moments.  
From the birth of a child to the loss of a job, from becoming a carer to recovering from a disaster, Australians often face overwhelming rules, eligibility criteria, and scattered information across multiple agencies. Service Agent cuts through this confusion with a simple, friendly, and inclusive experience.  
π How It Works
- Life Event Cards β Users start by selecting a life event (e.g., βLost my jobβ).
 
- AI Chatbot Assistant β A plain-language chat interface that understands questions like βWhat support can I get?β.
 
- Eligibility Checks β Quick interactive Q&A to help users see if they qualify.
 
- Service Pathways β Clear steps on how to apply, with official links.
 
- Transparency β Always shows data sources, funding details, and last update dates.
 
- Trust & Ethics β Built according to the AI Technical Standard.
