Kia ora Ricky,

Thank you for your email received 15th March 2025, in which you submitted an Official Information Act request as follows:

I request the following information:

1. Records of Interactions
Please provide any records of interactions with generative AI tools — including but not limited to OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, or similar large language models — by the Prime Minister or staff within the Prime Minister’s Office, in the course of their official duties, from 1 October 2023 to the present.
This includes, but is not limited to:

Prompts entered into such tools;
* The outputs or responses received;
* Drafts, summaries, talking points, or written communications generated using such tools;
* Any records indicating whether AI tools were used to assist with speechwriting, correspondence, media statements, or policy discussions.

2. Platform-Based Logs
If these interactions were conducted using official government accounts (e.g. associated with govt.nz email addresses or Microsoft 365 accounts), and if interaction logs are accessible via the relevant platform (e.g. OpenAI dashboard or Microsoft Copilot logs), I request that those logs be included.

3. Policies or Guidance
Additionally, I request copies of any internal policies, memos, or guidance documents regarding the use of generative AI tools by the Prime Minister or staff in the Prime Minister’s Office.

Your request is being considered in accordance with the Act, and you can expect a response by 11th April 2025 (date determined by the OIA calculator).
