The digital tax assistant that makes reaching tax services easier for citizens.

GİBİ is Turkey's Tax Assistant, built on CBOT Platform and CBOT's NLP (Natural Language Processing) technology. Positioned on the Revenue Administration's website, it gives citizens instant, 24/7 answers to their tax-related questions in both Turkish and English, running on an on-premise installation for the highest level of data security.

01Executive summary

The Turkey Revenue Administration, the country's tax authority, launched its Tax Assistant GİBİ to give citizens instant support instead of routing them through menus and a call center. Running on the Administration's website, the assistant answers frequently asked tax questions in Turkish and English, step by step. For data security, the system runs entirely on-premise.

GİBİ answers frequently asked tax questions in both Turkish and English, in a simple, step-by-step flow, 24/7.
02The need

As the entity responsible for managing tax-related services across the nation, the Turkey Revenue Administration recognized the need for automation to improve efficiency and offer immediate, straightforward support to its citizens, rather than making them navigate menus or call a contact center for basic information.

Wide range of tax topics

Dozens of topics, from the disability tax deduction and MTV transactions to inheritance procedures and e-archive invoice inquiries, had to be served from a single point.

Data security and two languages

The experience had to run in both Turkish and English, with data protected at the highest level.

03The solution

GİBİ, an AI-based digital tax assistant that provides 24/7 instant service. Designed and trained on CBOT Platform with CBOT's natural language processing and machine learning technologies, GİBİ was chosen on the strength of CBOT's proven track record. The CBOT team took complete ownership of its design and implementation.
