This research explores the creation of an Arabic-language virtual assistant designed to enhance the accessibility of public services in Iraq. The study centers on developing a chatbot driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, especially Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML), to help citizens in obtaining government services in Arabic, with a focus on the Iraqi dialect. The chatbot was created to address frequent questions regarding government services like passport renewals, birth registrations, and general inquiries. The system development employed platforms such as Google Dialogflow and TensorFlow to build an intuitive interface that can effectively handle and reply to user inquiries. Data collection comprised Arabic conversational data from Iraqi individuals, obtained via surveys and feedback on government services. The system's effectiveness was assessed through language comprehension accuracy, relevance of responses, and satisfaction of users, with findings indicating high satisfaction levels (88%), accuracy (95%), and relevance (92%). The results indicate that the chatbot greatly improves access to government services, minimizing the necessity for physical visits and increasing service efficiency. Nonetheless, issues regarding the complexities of the Iraqi Arabic dialect and voice recognition capabilities persist. The study finds that the chatbot presents a hopeful approach for addressing language and tech obstacles in providing public services. Future studies should aim at perfecting the language model and boosting voice input functionalities to better the chatbot's performance in Iraq’s public sector.
