Hey, everyone. Bradley from GovSpend here. And today, I wanna show you how you can get actionable insight from any GovSpend record using our AI chat. I'm gonna show you how it works today with a meeting, but you can do all this with bids. You can do it with contracts. So pretty much any GovSpend record. So let's say I work for a food services company and I sell into k twelve school districts in the Midwest. I've already got alerts set up to practically notify me when any school district mentions food services, and I got this meeting delivered to my inbox this morning. So I know they're talking about food services, but now I wanna know if this is actually an opportunity for me. And if so, what do I need to do to give you the best chance of winning it? So let's get started. So I'm just gonna ask you to start off by giving me an overview of the food services opportunity. Punch that into the chat. And the way this works is really similar to ChatGPT or Gemini or any other LLM that that you're familiar with using. So right off the bat, it's gonna give me a little bit of background about sort of current vendor and what they've, what they discussed in the meeting in terms of pros and cons. Tells me a little bit about, how the the process is gonna work and the board and the board of education involvement. So great. Good context right off the bat. So I wanna ask, did they talk about pricing at all? Because, obviously, that would be something helpful for me to understand. So looks like they mentioned it, but they didn't really give any specifics. Okay. So now what I'm gonna do is, you know, maybe let's say I'm, you know, hunting leads for myself, but maybe I'm also hunting leads for someone else. So I wanna be able to hand this off to someone. So I'm actually gonna have it put together an action plan, to sort of map out the sales process. So something that I can copy paste, hand directly off to the salesperson or or to someone on the team to to sort of get started. And this is where, you know, these these models really, really sing. So it's sort of not only taking into, you know, account, like, what a great sort of public sector sales process might look like, but it's also, taking into account know, all of the details surrounding the specific bid and opportunity and the specific the specific agency. So a lot of great detail here. Not obviously gonna go through all of it, but please feel free to try it out for yourselves. But really good stuff that I can sort of either use for myself or hand off to to someone else. And the last thing I'm gonna do is ask you to find some contact information. So I'm gonna ask you to highlight contacts that I should be engaging with. So you know, because I don't necessarily just wanna call up the, you know, the default, you know, generic contact person on the website. And I'm also gonna ask you to find, you know, direct contact info more information for me if they can find it. So they'll look at the meeting, and they'll also look at the web. So punch that in. And now it's searching both the meeting for sort of the right people, the right decision makers, and it's also searching, searching the web for more details. So looks like I've got contact information for the superintendent, which is great. Samantha Peterson, who was also mentioned, gives me, gives me links where I can go find that contact information and also giving me contact information for the board. So really great. Pretty much everything I need to get started pursuing this opportunity. Easy, fast, actionable. So let us know what you think, and definitely stay tuned for more ways that GovSpend can help you win in the public sector. We got a lot of really cool stuff coming out. So thanks for the time.

Hi. This is Andrew Gordon, senior solutions engineer at GovSpend. Today, we're gonna be looking at GovSpend's new AI notebook feature and how this can help you to build a pipeline and prioritize opportunities in the public sector. So what we're looking at here is a example search where we're looking at expiring contracts for learning management systems. This is specifically looking at the Texas, California, and New York markets where there's a contract in place associated with a particular end date that contains keywords such as learning management system, LMS, or learning management. With the AI notebook feature, I can grab a handful of these contracts and add them to the notebook as a project. After clicking that button, we can go over into our AI AI notebook, and we can actually use artificial intelligence to scan through the documents, through the documentation in terms of details, descriptions, pricing structure, and any other associated details that the agencies have reported for this particular contract set. So what I'm prompting you to do is basically to put this in the lens of a new account executive that sells LMS systems to these particular markets and take these contracts and give me the top ten opportunities that will likely go out for a rebid and help me to analyze why these contracts would be ideal for me to go after. Make sure to list the state, the expiration date, and reasoning for why they should be on my radar. As soon as I click submit, this is going to analyze the contracts and give me a very pointed response to help me in my efforts. As you can see, the response that we've gotten here is a top ten list of which contracts I should be looking at in order to prioritize my outreach to public sector. So the first one we see here is Prosper Independent School District. They have a contract for their LMS system with the current vendor being Instructure. We see the expiration date on this contract is March of twenty twenty six, And they give reasoning in the response saying that this is a growing k twelve district with twenty eight thousand plus students and is rapidly expanding into North Texas. This contract has a high likelihood of going to rebid given the standard renewal cycle and competitive market. Another example we see here is region fourteen Education Service Center in Texas, which happens to be an Omnia Cooperative contract. This is also giving some detail and reasoning as to why this contract would be good to look into from the lens of an account representative selling into Texas. All of the other details here are completely tailored based on the prompt that we've submitted, and this is just using the details specifically from the contracts that we've added to the project. This can be helpful to understand where an account executive can prioritize time or look into the competitor contracts to understand pricing structure, end dates, current vendors, and how to create a clear plan of attack to go after the particular agency that holds these contracts. We also see particular summaries and next steps to where this can give you some additional insight into looking at other data in the platform or to understand more information on the competitors that hold these contracts or any specific contracts to to dive into their pricing structure, bid documentation, and award cycles.
