Resumen

The need to ensure clear, timely, and equitable citizen access to public information has driven local governments to modernize their service processes. Within this framework, Intelligent Assistants with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) are emerging as a promising solution, although scientific evidence regarding their impact remains scattered and requires critical systematization. This paper aims to determine the impact of RAG-based intelligent assistants on query resolution and information access in local governments. A systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA methodology, analyzing 80 open-access papers published between 2020 and 2025 in IEEE Xplore, Scopus, ScienceDirect, ACM Digital Library, Wiley Online Library, and Taylor & Francis Online. The findings indicate that the most frequently used algorithms in e-commerce are Random Forest, SVM, and neural networks; that Python predominates as the development language, followed by Scala and Matlab; that most studies are published in Q1 journals with high academic rigor; and that the most recurrent keywords emphasize classification, prediction, and user experience. This paper provides a solid foundation for future research, guiding the development of more diverse and methodological approaches in the use of intelligent assistants with RAG in local governments.
