Overview
- The Digital Ministry, which confirmed Thursday it is building a prototype with SAP and T-Systems, says the app will serve as a single portal for public services.
- A prototype is slated for April, with trials in several cities and at the Federal Employment Agency, and project sources say Deutsche Telekom has already started an initial build.
- SAP will provide the core platform and AI features, while T-Systems will run the infrastructure and store the data.
- The app will use learning AI assistants to guide people through forms and automate steps, with early services to include child benefit, residence registration, and company formation.
- The service will stay separate from the EU’s EUDI Wallet, which holds digital IDs and official proofs, but it will link to it so users can verify identity inside the app.
