Since the beginning of 2026, residents of Astana have submitted over 2,000 requests through the TazaQazBot chatbot, which operates on the Telegram messenger platform. This tool is crucial for enhancing the efficiency of the akimat's work and improving communication between residents and the government.

The online platform received 2,164 requests, of which 1,937 have been successfully processed, as reported by the official website of Astana's akimat.

Most requests focus on issues such as urban area maintenance, lighting, road repairs, landscaping, and waste removal. All submissions are processed within set time frames, helping to minimize potential inconveniences for residents.

One of the main advantages of digital services is the transparency of processes. Users can track the progress of their requests at every stage. Upon completion, they receive a photographic report and the opportunity to evaluate the quality of the services provided.

Requests are categorized into 24 types — ranging from territory cleaning and waste collection to road repairs, lighting, landscaping, and waterway cleaning. This categorization helps channel requests more efficiently to the appropriate services.

The TazaQazBot digital services have demonstrated their effectiveness in improving communication between residents and the government, accelerating response times to emerging issues, and achieving tangible results in maintaining order in the city and across the country.

TazaQazBot is an important tool for creating a comfortable urban environment.
