Experimenting with using virtual assistants at Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, the Ministry of Information and Communications, the Ministry of Industry and Trade
State agencies, such as Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, the Ministry of Information and Communications, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, etc. will deploy virtual assistants in the near future.

The Ministry of Information and Communications has just issued Decision No. 943a/QD-BTTTT on building and testing virtual assistants in a number of state agencies.

Virtual assistants are the next generation of search engines that will provide specialized information in a specific field to users when they ask questions.

Large domestic enterprises including Viettel, VNPT, FPT IS, VNG, Vbee will play the role of coordinating the construction of virtual assistants with the above agencies. Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee will first deploy on August 1.

Other agencies including the Ministry of Information and Communications, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Supreme People's Court, and the Supreme People's Procuracy will deploy in August and September.

The virtual assistant is a new generation search engine that returns a concise, direct answer to the user's question. Virtual assistants are quite popular in the world, used to solve the overall problem, with the data being the world knowledge store.

Meanwhile, the virtual assistant in this pilot plan in Vietnam will focus on specialized knowledge in a specific field. This is also the development strategy of Vietnamese virtual assistants: focusing on each specific area of specialized knowledge.

Like other computer systems using artificial intelligence, the more used virtual assistants, the more intelligent they become, understanding the context and individual users.
