The repeatable work runs on its own. Beta opens today for all GovDash customers.
A persistent challenge for capture, proposal, and contract teams: high-value professionals remain bogged down in repetitive tasks. Proposal teams rebuild compliance matrices, program managers recreate monthly reports, and capture managers repeat the same research process for every opportunity. It's necessary work, but it's not what wins contracts.
Dash agents take that work off their plate while keeping humans in control. Users select a workflow, connect it to the right data, review the setup, and approve it. The agent then runs on schedule, executes the workflow, and writes the output back into GovDash. Nothing runs without human approval, and every decision stays with the owner.
Every run is logged with inputs, tool calls, outputs, and errors, so the work is fully auditable. Tool access is scoped per agent, which means an agent only sees the data and has the capabilities you explicitly grant it.
“Dash began by helping teams win more proposals. Today, it's evolving to help them run their entire business more effectively by automating repetitive work and giving experts more time to focus on what actually wins contracts.”
— Sean Doherty, CEO, GovDash
How Agents Work
Setting up a Dash agent takes three steps:
1. Pick from GovCon-native templates or start from scratch.
2. Describe what the agent should do, then grant data sources and tools it can use.
3. Choose the agent trigger: on a schedule, on an event, or on demand.
Before the agent goes live, the user reviews the configuration and confirms. Once live, the agent runs on your GovDash data, writes outputs back to the right record, and logs every run.
Built with You in the Loop
Dash agents are designed for human in-the-loop work. Every agent is reviewed and confirmed by the user before it goes live. Tool access remains scoped to what the user has granted, and agents can be paused, edited, or deleted at any time.
The parts of capture, proposal, and contract work that decide whether a contractor wins are judgment calls, not rebuilds. Dash agents do the rebuilds so the team has the time and attention to make the best judgment calls. Routine, repeatable tasks may be delegated to the system. Strategy and the success of the win remain in the team's hands.
Purpose-built Agents
For capture and BD teams
• Pipeline report. Dash reports on pipeline, you strategize on whats next.
• Recompete landscape brief. Dash maps the competition; you pick the play.
• Qualification scorecard. Dash scores the fit; you make the final call.
• Teaming partner shortlist. Dash finds the partners; you build the team.
Agents run daily, surface what is at risk in the pipeline, and write the follow-up before tasks slip. Pipeline throughput goes up, manual research goes down.
For proposal teams
• Compliance gap review. Dash flags the gaps; you write the answer.
• Proposal kickoff deck. Dash drafts the deck; you build the story.
• Past performance story. Dash builds the narrative; you win the recompete.
Dash agents automate the most time-consuming parts of the proposal process, from compliance reviews to first-draft content. By handling repetitive work with precision, they free proposal teams to focus on strategy, differentiation, and the storytelling that wins contracts.
For contracts and post-award teams
• MSR draft. Dash drafts the MSR; you run the program.
• Contract mod impact. Dash reads the mod; you decide the response.
Past performance story. Dash develops the narrative while you focus on winning the recompete.
By automating time-intensive tasks such as compliance reviews and initial drafting with precision, Dash agents enable proposal teams to prioritize strategy and the differentiation needed to win contracts.
For executives
The value proposition is straightforward: increase pursuit volume without adding headcount. Executives gain a real-time operating picture of all active contracts and pursuits, while new hires onboard faster by inheriting established workflows.
Whether utilizing one of the GovCon-native templates or building a custom workflow from scratch, most teams can deploy a working agent in less than two minutes without any coding.
The Repeatable Work, Running on its Own
Dash Agents are optional automations that remain free during the beta period. Following beta, the system will transition to a credit-based model.
To get started, simply open Dash Agents in your workspace to configure a template. Once you review the configuration and confirm the trigger, the agent is live. Scheduled tasks, such as Monday morning pipeline reports or immediate compliance reviews upon draft submission, ensure your team has the feedback and data they need exactly when they need it.

Frequently asked questions
What are Dash agents and how do they work?
Dash agents take repetitive work off teams' plates while keeping humans in control. Users select a workflow, connect it to the right data, review the setup, and approve it. The agent then runs on schedule, executes the workflow, and writes the output back into GovDash. Nothing runs without human approval, and every decision stays with the owner.
How do you set up a Dash agent?
Setting up a Dash agent takes three steps: 1. Pick from GovCon-native templates or start from scratch. 2. Describe what the agent should do, then grant data sources and tools it can use. 3. Choose the agent trigger: on a schedule, on an event, or on demand. Before the agent goes live, the user reviews the configuration and confirms.
How are Dash agents designed to keep humans in control?
Dash agents are designed for human-in-the-loop work. Every agent is reviewed and confirmed by the user before it goes live. Tool access remains scoped to what the user has granted, and agents can be paused, edited, or deleted at any time. Every run is logged with inputs, tool calls, outputs, and errors, so the work is fully auditable.
What types of agents are available for different GovCon teams?
For capture and BD teams: pipeline reports, recompete landscape briefs, qualification scorecards, and teaming partner shortlists. For proposal teams: compliance gap reviews, proposal kickoff decks, and past performance stories. For contracts and post-award teams: MSR drafts and contract mod impact analysis. For executives, agents provide a real-time operating picture of all active contracts and pursuits.
How much does it cost to use Dash Agents?
Dash Agents are optional automations that remain free during the beta period. Following beta, the system will transition to a credit-based model.
How quickly can a team deploy a working Dash agent?
Whether utilizing one of the GovCon-native templates or building a custom workflow from scratch, most teams can deploy a working agent in less than two minutes without any coding.
Can a Dash agent run on a schedule without someone manually triggering it each time?
Yes. When you configure a Dash agent, you choose the trigger: a set schedule (such as every Monday morning), a specific event, or on demand. Once you review the configuration and confirm, the agent runs automatically according to that trigger without requiring manual initiation.
What happens if a Dash agent makes an error during a run?
Every agent run is logged with its inputs, tool calls, outputs, and any errors, so you can review exactly what happened and why. Tool access is scoped per agent, meaning an agent can only access the data and capabilities you explicitly granted it, which limits the blast radius of any unexpected behavior.
How do GovCon AI agents handle repeatable work differently from generic AI tools like ChatGPT?
Generic AI tools can write, but they cannot access your pipeline data, past performance records, or contract history, so the output is untethered from your actual work. GovCon AI agents like Dash run on your GovDash data, write outputs back into the correct records, and log every run with full traceability, turning repeatable tasks into auditable, organization-specific workflows.
Should your team use AI agents for strategy or just for repeatable administrative tasks?
Dash agents are designed for the repeatable work: rebuilding compliance matrices, drafting pipeline reports, generating monthly status reports, and similar structured tasks. Strategy, competitive judgment, and go/no-go decisions stay with your team; the agents free up the time and attention needed to make those calls well.
What does 'human-in-the-loop' actually mean for Dash agents in practice?
Before any Dash agent goes live, you review the full configuration and confirm the trigger. After that, agents can be paused, edited, or deleted at any time, and every output is written back into GovDash where your team can review it. No agent acts outside the data and tool access you explicitly granted during setup.
How do Dash agents write outputs back into GovDash after completing a task?
After an agent completes a run, it writes the output directly to the relevant record in GovDash, whether that is a pipeline report attached to your capture pipeline, a compliance gap review on a proposal record, or a draft MSR on a contract record. The run log captures inputs, tool calls, and outputs so you can trace exactly where the content came from.
What is the credit-based model for Dash Agents after the beta period ends?
During beta, Dash Agents are free for all GovDash customers. After beta, the system will move to a credit-based model, though specific credit pricing has not been published yet. Teams can deploy and test agents now during the free beta period to evaluate the workflow before that transition.
How does a Dash agent for recompete tracking actually work in a capture workflow?
A recompete landscape agent pulls together competitive intelligence on an incumbent and relevant competitors, maps the bid landscape, and writes the output back into the opportunity record in your capture pipeline. Your capture manager then reviews the brief and decides the pursuit strategy, getting the research done without spending hours building it manually from scratch.
Can teams without any past performance in GovDash still get value from Dash agents?
Yes, though the quality of outputs like past performance stories and qualification scorecards improves as you load more contract history and organizational data into the Data Library. Agents for pipeline reporting, compliance gap reviews, and proposal kickoff decks can deliver value immediately, while past-performance-dependent agents build strength over time as your Data Library grows.
How do I know which Dash agent template to start with for my team's biggest time drain?
GovDash offers purpose-built templates organized by team function: capture and BD teams have pipeline reports, recompete briefs, and teaming partner shortlists; proposal teams have compliance gap reviews and kickoff decks; contracts teams have MSR drafts and mod impact summaries. Start with the template that maps to the task your team rebuilds most often from scratch, since that is where the time recovery shows up fastest.
