A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes customer support. Aimed at government compliance leads, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Automated Support Agent for Government is a retrieval engine aimed at government compliance leads, covering customer support. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (95) and held back by demand (51). Typical pricing is $4.9k–$104k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$54k.
Government teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point a retrieval engine at customer support, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. Government is growing at roughly 10% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
