The Chatbot Era is Over. Meet Your First Agentic GovCon Teammate.
If you’ve used AI tools in the last year, you’re familiar with the "chat" dynamic. You ask a question, the bot writes a paragraph. It’s helpful for brainstorming, but it has a ceiling. It’s passive. It waits for you to drive.
In Government Contracting, you don’t need a pen pal. You need a teammate.
Today, CLEATUS AI is shifting from Chatbot to Agent. We are introducing the first Agentic AI built exclusively for GovCon—an autonomous system that doesn’t just answer questions, but actively executes workflows, generates files, and helps you win.
What makes an AI "Agentic"?
There is a massive difference between a Chatbot and an Agent.
A Chatbot is Linear: You ask a question → It gives an answer. If the answer is bad (or if it finds zero results), it stops. It gives up.
An Agent is Persistent: It works in a loop. It has a goal, and it keeps working until that goal is met.
An Agent is Context-Aware: It learns your company—your capabilities, past performance, certifications, and preferences. Like a new employee who's studied your business, it makes decisions based on what it knows about you.
The "Self-Correcting" Difference
Most AI gives up when the search gets hard. CLEATUS keeps working.
Scenario: You ask for "Cybersecurity contracts in Texas."
❌ The Old Way (Chatbot)
If the exact keyword "Cybersecurity" doesn't return hits, a chatbot says, "I couldn't find anything." End of conversation.
✅ The Agentic Way (CLEATUS)
The Agent sees the empty result, "thinks," and autonomously adjusts. It tries "Information Assurance." It expands the region. It iterates until it finds the match.
You can actually watch the Agent think. CLEATUS shows you its reasoning steps (e.g., "Initial search yielded 0 results... expanding parameters..."), so you see exactly how it adjusted its search to find that hidden opportunity. No black box—just transparent, verifiable problem-solving.
It Doesn't Stop Until the Job is Done
Whether it's browsing a 100-page solicitation, searching the web for niche wage rates, or hunting through multiple contract databases, the Agent doesn't give up.
- Need to find the Performance Work Statement buried in a massive RFP? The Agent reads through the document page by page until it locates the right section.
- Looking for specific compliance requirements across multiple amendments? It analyzes each document until it extracts every relevant clause.
- If the data looks incomplete or wrong, it searches again. If a file needs more information, it keeps digging.
This is the core difference: A chatbot needs your constant supervision. An Agent just gets the job done.
3 Ways Your New Agent Gets Work Done
1. It Hunts (Natural Language Discovery)
Stop wrestling with complex boolean strings and fifty checkboxes.
Your agent understands context—and more importantly, it understands your business.
- You say: "Find construction contracts in Virginia under $2M."
- The Agent: Because it knows your company's profile—your capabilities, NAICS codes, set-aside eligibility, past performance sectors, and preferences for contract types and agencies—it doesn't just find "construction contracts." It finds construction contracts you can actually win and want to pursue. It autonomously scans federal, state, and local databases, filters by your criteria and capabilities, and presents opportunities that match your competitive strengths and business goals.
2. It Builds (Instant File Generation)
This is the biggest leap forward. A chatbot gives you text; an Agent gives you assets.
- The Workflow: You need to get data out of the AI and into your pipeline.
- The Agent: Ask it to "Export these 10 contracts to a spreadsheet" or "Create a pricing table based on these wage rates."
- The Result: The Agent generates the actual .CSV or .XLSX file ready for download. No more formatting nightmares.
3. It Reasons (Deep Analysis & PWIN)
GovCon isn't just about finding opportunities; it's about qualifying them.
- The Workflow: You upload a solicitation and need to know if it's a "Go" or "No-Go."
- The Agent Acts Like Your BD Director: Because it has studied your company profile—your past performance, team capabilities, contract history, and certifications—it doesn't give you a generic analysis. It reads and analyzes the entire solicitation, then performs a Win Probability (PWIN) Analysis specifically for your company. It weighs your past performance against the evaluation factors, identifies gaps in your qualifications, and tells you exactly where you're strong and where you need teaming partners.
- The Persistence: If key information is missing from one section, it keeps reading. If it needs to cross-reference multiple attachments or amendments, it does. It doesn't stop analyzing until it has a complete picture of how you stack up against the requirement.
The "Hallucination" Killer: Live Web Connectivity
One of the biggest fears in GovCon is AI "hallucination" (making things up). The CLEATUS Agent tackles this by being connected to the live web.
When you ask for current wage rates or incumbent data, it doesn't guess. It searches live sources (like SAM.gov or agency sites), cites its work, and retrieves the actual data. It combines the speed of AI with the accuracy of live search.
An Agent That Actually Knows Your Business
Here's what separates CLEATUS from every other AI tool: it learns your company.
When you ask it to find contracts, it doesn't search blindly—it searches based on your NAICS codes, set-asides, and past performance sectors. When you ask it to analyze a solicitation, it doesn't give you generic advice—it evaluates the opportunity against your specific capabilities and team strengths.
It's the difference between asking a stranger for directions and asking a colleague who's worked with you for years.
The Agent knows:
- Your company's capabilities and certifications
- Your past performance and contract history
- Your competitive strengths and gaps
- Your preferred contract types and agencies
This means every search, every analysis, and every recommendation is tailored to what makes sense for your business.
From Tool to Teammate
We built this update because we know that "finding" the contract is only 10% of the job. The other 90% is the grind—reading through dense solicitations, building spreadsheets, checking compliance requirements, researching pricing.
Your new Agent takes that grind off your plate. It reads documents cover to cover, searches until it finds answers, calculates with precision, and creates deliverables—all without stopping until the job is complete.
And because it knows your business inside and out, every action it takes is informed by your company's reality—not generic best practices.
This isn't a tool that gives up when the task gets hard. It's a teammate that knows your business and sees the work through to the end.
Stop chatting. Start executing.
