In Ukraine, a digital twin of the Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, has been created. Now Ukrainians will be able to communicate with him directly in the Telegram chat. The goal is to collect fresh ideas for digitalization, respond to problems, and attract new talents to the Ministry of Digital Transformation and Diia team. Mykhailo Fedorov introduced his twin during the IT Arena 2025 event.
"The main task of AI is to solve people's problems. We created a chatbot so that no idea is lost and talented people do not go unnoticed. Through the chatbot, Ukrainians can share ideas on the digitalization of public services, send a resume to join the team, talk about problems with public services, ask questions or get recommendations for self-development and professional growth. This is a step into a new era of interaction between citizens and the state, where technologies allow for quick, transparent and effective communication and solving problems together," said Fedorov.
Using the chatbot, Ukrainians will be able to share ideas on the digitalization of public services and talk about the problems they face, send their resume to join the Ministry of Digital Transformation and Diia team, learn about available services, and receive recommendations on self-development and professional growth from the minister.
The digital twin responds in real language and can communicate in both text and Mykhailo Fedorov's voice. However, the bot will not provide individual recommendations, as it does not have access to your personal data.
"Mykhailo Fedorov's digital twin is one of the world's first examples of digitalization of a minister for communicating with citizens. We trained it on Mykhailo Fedorov's public statements: a total of over 10 thousand materials from the media and social networks of the Ministry of Digitalization and Mykhailo. We also included voice integration so that interaction with the minister would be as convenient as communicating with friends or acquaintances in messengers," said Danylo Tsvok, Chief AI Officer of the Ministry of Digitalization Transformation and CEO of the WINWIN AI Center of Excellence at the Ministry of Digitalization.
To communicate with Mykhailo Fedorov's digital twin, users need to go to the chat bot @thedigital_bot in Telegram, log in through the Diya application, and ask any questions via text or voice. Artificial intelligence will analyze your request and provide an answer, and interesting ideas will go directly to Mykhailo Fedorov. The twin is planned to be launched on WhatsApp later.
