Abu Dhabi Government, during the second day of GITEX Global 2024, launched a series of strategic initiatives and signed several Memoranda of Understanding aimed at transforming public services in the emirate.
Participating at the Abu Dhabi Pavilion under the theme “Towards an AI-Native Government”, these projects mark a significant leap from digital services to next-generation solutions.
The highly anticipated TAMM 3.0 platform, developed by the Department of Government Enablement – Abu Dhabi (DGE), enhances the existing TAMM 2.0 and offers more than 800 government services.
With the introduction of the TAMM AI Assistant, the platform aims to elevate customer experience by simplifying user interactions with government services. The AI Assistant features a proactive smart to-do list and personalised support, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for all users.
DGE also launched CX Spaces on TAMM 3.0, part of the broader Abu Dhabi Customer Experience initiative. The business and property spaces will consolidate essential services into integrated, user-friendly interfaces on TAMM to streamline government services and improve accessibility. By enhancing service delivery for property transactions and business licensing, DGE prioritises a customer-first approach to transform service delivery in Abu Dhabi by 2026.
The Sahatna app, developed by the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DOH), consolidates health records and clinical interactions for citizens, residents, and businesses in Abu Dhabi, creating a centralised database for personalised healthcare. Users can benefit from AI-driven insights based on their medical and lifestyle information, which enables predictions and early prevention measures for their health.
Key features include an AI symptom checker, access to genomic reports, and integration with wearable devices for wellness tracking, empowering users to take control of their health.
Furthermore, the platform serves as a gateway for all primary care services, including appointment booking and teleconsultations. It also facilitates access to insurance information and includes home delivery services for medication refills for individuals with chronic conditions.

This platform allows consultants to convert 2D CAD drawings into detailed 3D models for comprehensive project reviews, along with an AI chatbot providing quick access to building codes and regulations.
