Corey Solivan Explores the Power of Connected GovCon Data with Data Room AI

In this episode, David Blackburn catches up with Corey Solivan, founder of Data Room AI. The company is building tools that take the flood of open federal data and turn it into something growth and strategy teams can actually use. Clear insight, faster planning, and a more connected view of the GovCon landscape.
We dig into three main areas.
First. The core problem that led to the creation of Data Room AI and the gaps in today’s GovCon research and planning process that many teams still struggle with.
Second. The growing conversation around AI and why it matters to distinguish between tools built for chatting and tools built for real decision support.
Third. A look at several new Data Room AI capabilities rolling out now and how they reflect the larger shift toward more intelligent, automated workspaces.
If you want a sharper sense of where GovCon data and decision-making are heading, this is a conversation worth hearing.
