About the data
Federal agencies are required — with limited exceptions — to inventory their AI use cases each year and publish the publicly releasable ones, under Section 5 of Executive Order 13960, the Advancing American AI Act, and OMB Memorandum M-25-21. OMB compiled this repository by downloading each agency's publicly posted inventory and consolidating them into the combined files visualized here. This dashboard reflects the repository snapshot of : 56 total agency submissions, of which 41 reported individual use cases ( rows), 46 submitted consolidated COTS responses, and 2 affirmatively reported no use of AI.
How OMB consolidated it — and what that means for interpretation
Self-reported. Every value comes from an agency's own public inventory. OMB compiled but did not independently verify the content; for use case questions, contact the relevant agency.
Standardized, lightly. OMB trimmed whitespace and recoded multiple-choice answers only where a response clearly matched a valid option with minor spelling or formatting deviations (e.g. “false” → “No”). The CSV also shortens long official option strings into analyst-friendly codes — the data dictionary maps every one. All recodings are itemized, with frequencies, in the value recoding reports linked below.
Imperfect templates. A few agencies didn't follow the 2025 reporting format, so some of their free-text columns were mapped to the closest template column even when the underlying question differed slightly. Column-by-column remappings for every agency are documented in the data sourcing summary.
Blanks are everywhere — by design. Many fields are optional, only apply at certain development stages (risk-management fields, for example, largely concern deployed high-impact systems), or were left unreported in an agency's public file. This dashboard renders blanks explicitly as “Not reported” rather than dropping them. A blank should not be read as “no.”
Some use cases are withheld. rows are flagged as withheld from full disclosure (citing disclosure risk or legal prohibition), so their descriptive fields are limited by design. Entire sensitive use cases may also be absent from public inventories.

Original agency inventories
OMB built the consolidated files from these agency-hosted sources (from the data sourcing summary). For the authoritative version of any use case, go to the agency's own inventory.
