THE ESSENTIALS
  • Xinhua reports more than 500,000 registrations for the free Ganghuatong app in its first 40 days.
  • The report says Gangwentong is used across more than 70 Hong Kong government departments.

Local services

HKGAI-powered applications are being adapted to Hong Kong language and public-service needs, Xinhua reported on October 4. Its report describes an elderly resident using Ganghuatong to obtain guidance on applying for a living allowance.

According to the report, the free Ganghuatong app exceeded 500,000 registered users within 40 days of launch, while Gangwentong entered more than 70 government departments. Registrations are not a measure of active use.

Existing model, continuing work

Xinhua dates HKGAI V3 to June, so the report should not be read as an October model launch. Engineering vice-president Wang Tianlan says there is still room to improve adaptation to Hong Kong’s multilingual environment.
