Vultron, a software company, is using artificial intelligence (AI) to automate proposals and compliance documents for companies pursuing federal contracts.

The product, also called Vultron, helps “federal defence contractors write more winning proposals”, Mac Liu, founder and CEO of Vultron, told
Janes
on the sidelines of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) conference on 14 October.

“How we do that is that we help them automate a lot of manual up-front [work],” he said. “Typically, what they do in the first two to three weeks, we can bring them back down to a day to get there.”

“It’s often in the nuances, like shredding the solicitation into a compliance matrix [or] publishing that first version of the draft that’s compliant. We’re able to help with that whole process,” Liu said.

“We work with all different sizes [of companies], but a lot of the benefits go to the smalls because they don’t have a lot of processing in place today,” he added.

About 80% of its customer base is in defence, including larger companies such as Siemens, Viasat, and Shield AI, Liu said.

AI capability

There are two sides to Vultron’s AI capability, Liu said. “One side is, do we understand your company? Do we know your company documents, your past proposals, capabilities, [and] your stance on things? And the other side of that is, do we actually understand federal compliance in these proposals?”

“We’ve built our AI to train on a lot of open solicitations to understand them [and] benchmark them, and we’ve built a highly compliant system, which makes us able to draft that report,” he said.
