Chat Settles in Government Ministries, Bureaucrats 'It's a Given' The use of chat applications in government ministries and agencies is becoming more widespread, with officials saying that using such tools is "a given" in their work. In the Cabinet Office, for example, more than 200 officials are registered on a chat system used for exchanging information and sharing documents. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has also introduced a similar system, with about 100 officials participating. These chat systems are used not only for simple exchanges of information but also for more complex tasks such as drafting responses to questions from lawmakers. In some cases, chat applications are used to create draft responses to questions from lawmakers, which are then used as the basis for formal responses. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, about 70% of government ministries and agencies have introduced some form of chat application or are in the process of doing so. The Ministry of Finance, for example, uses a chat system to share information and coordinate with other ministries and agencies. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology uses a chat application to share information among officials and to coordinate with universities and research institutions. The use of chat applications in government is expected to continue to grow, with many officials seeing the benefits of using such tools to improve communication and collaboration.
