A BD director starts the day by asking the agent for new opportunities posted since yesterday.

The director identifies three worth pursuing before the first meeting. No dashboard navigation required.
Your capture team needs to know which contracts a competitor has won in the past two years. They ask the agent with the company name. The AI Agent searches HigherGov's prime contract awards by keyword, retrieves award values, agencies, and contract types, and compiles a competitive profile.
