The gap
Where building it yourself earns its place.
Full control over every part of the build. Plenty of IT teams can stand up a model.
Side by side
Five questions to ask before you pick an AI platform.
Where does the work happen, and who controls it?
One approved system that IT controls from day one. Data Shield flags or blocks sensitive information as staff type. We never use your content to train models.
Controls hold as long as someone configures and enforces them. When staff build as they go on personal accounts, IT has no view at all.
Can you show who did what, months later?
The audit trail shows who did what, on every plan. Admins see it from the dashboard.
Enterprise plans keep logs, often for a short window. Your team builds the export, retention, and review.
Does it know your bylaws, your exemptions, and which policy is current?
Ready-made skills for government on every plan. Answers draw on the policies and files you connect through SharePoint, Outlook, and Teams.
As good as the files you connect and the rules your team writes down.
When a rule changes, who fixes the workflow?
GovAI builds, runs, and maintains the Agents for your first jobs. Your team can build its own Agents on the same platform.
Your team, for every workflow, for as long as you use it. A build doesn’t stay finished when rules and files change.
What does it cost to get the job done, counting staff time?
One annual price for your organization. Onboarding and coaching are included. Use capacity is sized into your plan, and your price is set for the contract year.
Licenses or usage charges. Plus the staff time to build, test, and rebuild.
With a per-seat tool, someone makes a list of who gets access. The people left off go back to personal AI accounts. Here is how GovAI is priced instead.
- One annual price for your organization
- Everyone on staff gets access
- Use capacity is sized into your plan, and your price is set for the contract year
- More Agents when the work grows, each priced by the job
- Onboarding, training, and a dedicated customer success manager are included
Questions

Can we use these five questions on GovAI too?
Yes. Put them in your RFP or evaluation sheet and ask every vendor, us included, to answer in writing. The answers are easy to compare side by side.
