Introducing Kevin: Chat With Your Public Sector Data

We built NationGraph to make public-sector sales smarter. Today, we’re taking that a step further with something that feels less like a feature, and more like a teammate.

Meet Kevin—your AI-powered public sector sales assistant.

Kevin lets you chat with all of NationGraph’s data using simple, natural language. No filters to build, no dashboards to decipher.

He's like having a researcher, strategist, and public-sector genie all in one tab.

Planning territory? Kevin maps it. Prepping for meetings? He surfaces what matters. Hunting opportunities? Kevin knows where to look.

For every question, Kevin gives you something sourced, actionable, and instant.

Why We Built Kevin

When we launched NationGraph, we gave revenue teams the full picture: contracts, meeting minutes, legislation, procurement rules, and more. That data still sits at the core of what we do.

But something interesting kept happening.

Some of the most common questions from users didn’t need a full table or dashboard. They needed a sentence, a summary, or a simple game plan.

“Can I get a list of expiring contracts in Florida?”

“How do I know which districts are likely to switch vendors?”

“What should I know about schools in San Antonio before my meeting?”

That’s why we built Kevin.

Kevin makes the annoying questions to research instantly answerable. Think of it as NationGraph’s data engine, now accessible in a single prompt.

What Can Kevin Do?

Kevin lets you have a natural conversation with the full NationGraph dataset—currently spanning over 100,000 public-sector documents and growing by 1,000+ new records every day, including purchase orders, RFPs, meeting minutes, strategic plans, budgets, grants, and more.

Here’s what that means in practice:

  • Ask questions in plain language: No complex filters or dashboards. Just ask what you want to know.
  • Get sourced answers, fast: Kevin pulls real citations from across tens of thousands of documents—like POs, board minutes, and strategic plans—so you know exactly where the insight came from.
  • Explore deeper in real time: Want to zero in on Florida? Focus on cybersecurity funding? Or track modernization efforts? Just keep chatting. Kevin adapts instantly.
  • Stay rooted in real signals: Every answer Kevin gives is tied to real public-sector data, not guesswork, helping your team move faster, with confidence.
