Visitors to two Queensland government offices in 1 William Street will be greeted by a robot, as part of a new trial.

The Department of Science, Information Technology and Innovation has partnered with cloud technology company Axalon to develop and trial a Google Home speaker called Eve to greet visitors at the reception it shares with the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services.

Innovation Minister Leeanne Enoch said the government saw an opportunity in Axalon's platform to use the Google Home artificial intelligence system to help visitors in 1 William Street.

Department of Science, Information Technology and Innovation director-general Jamie Merrick said Eve was a voice-enabled speaker, configured to have conversations with visitors.
