New in AI Insights
Personalization Settings
We’ve added powerful personalization controls so GovTribe AI can feel even more like your AI.

Keep GovTribe AI aware of your preferences—like formatting styles, agencies you care about, or other details—so it can deliver answers that feel tailored to you.
Turn it off anytime to instantly delete all stored memories.

Let AI remember key details from past conversations, so follow-ups feel seamless, without you having to repeat yourself.
Each new chat automatically includes relevant context from your prior interactions.

Allow AI to reference your activity and profile data so its answers align with your projects, interests, and work context.

AI Insights – “Data Analysis”
GovTribe AI now uses a built-in analysis engine during conversations—enabling it to inspect raw data, parse dates and dollar amounts, generate charts, and export structured outputs like Excel, PDFs, or graphs.
This enhancement powers more detailed, on-the-fly analysis across a wide range of federal data.
