Ask me anything about El Salvador
While generic AI platforms offer basic travel help, ia.sv is built specifically for El Salvador, drawing on public official sources, with Bitcoin built in. We are an independent project with no special government access.
Public data from simple.sv procedures, the bitcoin.gob.sv treasury, and MARN earthquake reports, plus public announcements from Casa Presidencial and the Bitcoin Office. Public sources only, no special or official access.
How Lightning payments work at Bitcoin Beach, which wallets travelers use, and live treasury data from bitcoin.gob.sv. Accepting bitcoin is voluntary since 2025, so we also tell you when to carry dollars.
Guides to all 14 departments, Salvadoran slang, and tools for government procedures, health centers and earthquake reports, in English and Spanish.
El Salvador is making real bets on artificial intelligence: Doctor SV, ANIA (the National AI Agency), and the AI Promotion Law of 2025. ia.sv is not part of any of them. We are an independent, privately built project with no government affiliation, built in that same spirit.
Government initiatives (ia.sv is not affiliated with any of them)
The government's AI-assisted telemedicine app, launched in November 2025
The National AI Agency, established under the 2025 AI Promotion Law
A partnership announced in December 2025 to bring Grok tutoring to 5,000+ public schools
Public figures on the government's own AI programs. ia.sv is not part of these programs. We share them because they are a big part of why El Salvador is such an exciting place to build.
