No more waiting on hold – Emma brings AI to citizen services.
Anyone who uses digital public services is familiar with the situation—hotlines are overloaded, people are left on hold, or email responses arrive only after a delay. But with Emma, enquiries are handled far more efficiently.
evocenta’s AI agent, Emma, supports citizen service enquiries on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and State Modernisation, covering both the BundID—Germany’s central account for digital public services—and the wider eID ecosystem. Whether registration, login or other requests, Emma already resolves a large share of enquiries at first contact, by phone or through the contact form.
If an enquiry cannot be fully resolved by Emma, it is automatically forwarded to the Bechtle Service Desk’s first‑level support. Only particularly complex cases are passed on to specialists at the Federal Government’s IT Centre, providing significant relief for everyone involved.
The technology –evocenta’s Emma AI compliance.
It’s all made possible by evocenta’s Emma AI Suite. The solution is designed specifically for recurring enquiries that can be answered clearly and reliably. It operates without hallucinations, is legally compliant and TÜV certified. Emma is trained using verified data, which it draws on to analyse incoming enquiries, assess the context and provide responses exclusively from validated sources. Questions that cannot be answered with certainty are automatically forwarded, with a ticket created in every case.
With Emma, we are able to provide a service that is available 24/7 and offers immediate support.

AI meets service excellence – evocenta and Bechtle.
evocenta and Bechtle Managed Services entered into a partnership in February with a clear objective—to deliver high‑performance, legally compliant and practical AI solutions for both businesses and public‑sector customers. The collaboration places a strong emphasis on data protection, IT security and the responsible use of artificial intelligence.
“Our customers benefit from an end‑to‑end solution that covers everything from implementation through to ongoing operations. By combining technological innovation in AI with our high service standards and level of automation, we create a solution that integrates seamlessly into existing processes and support structures,” says Heinz Schneider, Managing Director of Bechtle Managed Services.
The BundID project illustrates what this partnership can achieve in practice—faster responses, reduced pressure on support teams and a better experience for users.
