What is the GovCon Copilot?

The GovCon Copilot is an agentic AI assistant specialized in government contracting. It doesn't just answer a question and stop—it keeps working until the job is done. Whether it's breaking down a solicitation, generating a full document, or researching competitors, the AI works autonomously through multi-step tasks so you can focus on strategy.

Can the Copilot search contracts, awards, and agencies?

Yes. The Copilot can search across contracts, award data, agencies, contractors, and subcontractors—all through natural language. Ask things like "show me recent IT services awards at the VA" or "find subcontractors who've worked on this contract vehicle" and get results instantly without navigating complex databases.

Can the Copilot answer questions about a specific contract?

Yes. You can ask questions in plain English—"What are the key evaluation factors?", "Is there a small business set-aside?", "What's the period of performance?"—and get answers with direct citations from the solicitation documents.

Does the Copilot search the web for information?

Yes. The GovCon Copilot can autonomously search for wage determinations, GSA pricing, market rates, and competitor information to supplement its contract analysis—saving you from switching between multiple research tools.

What file types can the Copilot generate?

The Copilot can generate PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), and CSV files. Whether you need a compliance matrix spreadsheet, a bid checklist PDF, an executive summary document, questions for the Contracting Officer, or a pricing table—it creates real, downloadable files tailored to the specific solicitation you're working on.

Who it’s for: Government contractors needing an agentic AI teammate for solicitations, compliance, pricing, strategy, and day-to-day GovCon work.
What it does: Does the work while you make the call. It already knows your pipeline, Document Hub, and capture profile. Answers questions, cites sources, and assists proposal work. Researches the whole federal picture, not one document: solicitations, award history, agency and sub-agency hierarchies, competitors and incumbents (including how they win, sole-source versus competitive), contracting officers, NAICS codes, and NSN approved sources. Delegates research-grade questions to focused subagents that run up to three at a time in their own workspaces and report back one consolidated answer. Autonomously searches the web for wage determinations and market data, generates compliance matrices, pricing tables, and formatted documents on demand, and draws live charts, tables, and dashboards in the chat. Calculates your PWIN automatically on every matched opportunity, from the capture profile and real award history it already has, with no questionnaire and no file upload. Ask and it works the number deeper, weighing the incumbent and the competitive field, or scores your own bid/no-bid rubric if you would rather use yours. Saves jobs that work as shared skills, with attached files and dynamic fields, so the whole team runs the same playbook. Takes action in the product on your behalf: adds pursuits to the pipeline, updates pursuits and tasks, creates and runs saved searches, tunes your capture profile and capabilities, organizes the Document Hub, and builds, activates, and runs AI Workflows. Anything destructive pauses on an approve or deny card first. For agents that run unattended on event triggers, see /features/workflows.
Key outcomes: Faster understanding, reduced risk, agentic file and table generation, parallel deep research on incumbents, agencies and contacts, real-time web research, competitive and agency market intelligence, and work executed in the product instead of handed back as a to-do list.

Parallel subagents

Hand off the big jobs.

When a job is too big for one pass, the agent splits it across up to three subagents that work at the same time. Their findings come back as one brief you can act on.

Each subagent takes its own angle on the question. Together they cover the solicitation, the incumbent, and the competitors at once, and look into agencies and contacts in the same pass. One brief comes back, not three reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about working with the copilot?

When a question is too big for one pass (a solicitation deep dive, an incumbent or competitor workup, mapping an agency and its contracting officers), the Copilot hands the job to a subagent: a second AI worker with its own workspace and its own research tools. Up to three run at the same time on independent tasks. Each one shows up as a live line you can open to see the exact task it was given and every search it made, and you can stop a run at any point. When they finish, the Copilot folds the reports into one answer instead of filling your chat with raw search results. Subagents run inside your chat while you watch. If you want agents working with nobody present, CLEATUS Workflows run them unattended on event triggers.
