WHAT IS PUBLICUS?

Publicus is an AI-powered platform designed to simplify government procurement for contractors. In this MVP, we focus on two critical steps:

  • Discovery – AI automatically finds the right government bids for your business

  • Initial Qualification – One-click feedback (“Yes,” “No,” “Save for Later”) so you only pursue what matters

WHO SHOULD USE THIS?

  • Small and mid‑sized contractors strapped for time

  • Consulting firms juggling multiple clients or service lines

  • Business development teams seeking a data‑driven pipeline

  • Anyone who wants to automate RFP tracking and improve bid hit‑rates

KEY BENEFITS

  • Daily Curated Matches
    Receive a fresh, tailored list of opportunities each morning

  • One‑Click Feedback
    Your thumbs‑up/thumbs‑down input trains the AI to get smarter

  • Visual Pipeline
    Track saved bids on a Kanban board from start to submission

  • Profile‑Driven
    Define your expertise once—Publicus does the rest

HOW IT WORKS

  1. We Learn Your Profile
    Based on our onboarding call, we’ve configured your categories and semantic description

  2. AI Scans Portals
    Hourly ingestion from Canada Buys (more portals coming soon)

  3. Daily Digest Arrives
    Each morning, check your email (or real‑time alerts) for that day’s top matches

  4. You Review & React
    • Interested → Moves to your Pipeline
    • Not Interested → Trains the AI & dismisses the bid
    • Save → Adds to your Kanban board

  5. Pipeline Management
    Drag and drop saved bids through “In Review,” “Proposal Writing,” “Submitted,” etc.
