NRW.Genius administrative AI assistant
North Rhine-Westphalia reported 10,000 enabled accounts for the NRW.Genius extended trial
Problem
The state needed a common way to introduce generative AI across ministries and subordinate agencies. Expansion required integration with existing employee access systems.
Approach
The state expanded testing of NRW.Genius from September 2025. In January 2026, an official reported 10,000 enabled accounts across ministries and approved subordinate agencies. The team added source-tracing features in some areas and connected the assistant to central user management.
Results
Takeaway
Enabled accounts established the trial's reach. They did not establish active usage or measured productivity gains.
