California is building AskCA, a digital assistant that helps people find and navigate state services, and is asking residents to test the prototype. To participate you must be 18 or older and live in California. In October 2026 testers can explore the assistant on their own, chat with the AI, rate responses and answer surveys about the experience. Sources (checked 2026-10-30): ask.ca.gov/pilot (eligibility, participation details); California State Council on Developmental Disabilities mail of 2026-10-28, forwarded by Daniel Platner (Engaged Services) 2026-10-30, inviting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families and advocates to test it. Found by the money lane.
