Visual Analysis and Document Review

Choose Interactive Apps in the skill picker when charts, tables, maps, or read-only document previews would make the answer easier to inspect. GovTribe AI can also choose a visual tool from your request. For document comments and requested edits, use the dedicated document pane.

This workflow can help GovTribe AI turn GovTribe search results, transaction data, award records, saved-search context, or generated artifacts into in-conversation visuals such as KPI cards, trend charts, comparison charts, leaderboards, geo maps, and read-only document previews, with document editing and review in the dedicated pane.

It is especially useful when the question starts with "visualize," "compare," "rank," "map," "show the trend," or "make this easier to present." The best prompts name the target market, the metric, the date window, the grouping, and the visual output you want. If the question depends on GovTribe data, ask GovTribe AI to use GovTribe search tools or aggregations before it creates the visual.

Use these visual formats when they fit the work:

Spending visualization

Use this pattern when you want GovTribe AI to turn a market, buyer, vendor, vehicle, category, or saved search into a visual briefing.

Example prompt:

Use Interactive Apps with GovTribe search tools.

Visualize the last 5 years of spending for [agency, buyer, vehicle, vendor, NAICS, PSC, geography, or saved search]. Use GovTribe aggregations and federal transaction data where spending is the question.

Create KPI cards for total obligated dollars, transaction count, average transaction, and largest transaction. Then create a trend chart by year and leaderboards for the top vendors, vehicles, and NAICS or PSC lanes. Include source notes and explain any caveats, such as obligations versus award ceiling.

Location and map analysis

Use this pattern to inspect named locations and decide which places to research next. Pan and zoom to navigate, and select a marker to open its popup. Maps do not submit a location selection to the conversation; name the places you want in your follow-up message.

Example prompt:

Use Interactive Apps and GovTribe search tools.

Map the top places of performance for [agency, buyer, vendor, vehicle, or saved search] over [timeframe]. Size markers by obligated dollars and use clustering if there are many locations. Include labels and record links so I can inspect each place.

List the leading locations below the map. I will name the locations to compare in my next message. Keep the source, date range, and location assumptions visible.

Review records in a table

Ask for a compact table when a dense list would be easier to review in rows. Select a column heading to sort the loaded rows, enter text to search those rows, and use the page controls to browse. Available record links open the underlying GovTribe records.

These controls apply only to the rows loaded into the table. They do not change the filters or ordering of the complete GovTribe search. Ask GovTribe AI to run a new search when you want to change the whole result set. A table does not submit a selection or approval.

Example prompt:

Find [record family] matching [criteria] and show the results in a compact table with the name, relevant dates, value, and GovTribe record link. Explain how much of the full result set is loaded before drawing conclusions about the whole search.

Selected-market comparison

Use this pattern when you want to compare two or more market slices that you name from a map, saved search, or prior AI response.

Example prompt:

Use Interactive Apps.

Compare [market slice A] and [market slice B] using GovTribe data. Create a comparison chart for total obligated dollars and transaction count, then create a leaderboard of the top vendors in each slice.

Summarize the market character of each slice, explain what the chart shows, and call out the next capture question our team should answer.

Document annotation and revision

Use this pattern when GovTribe AI creates a document that needs human review, such as a deep-dive PDF, proposal outline, compliance artifact, capture memo, or briefing draft.

Ask GovTribe AI to open the document for review in the dedicated document pane. You can highlight text, add a comment or mark an area with a rectangle, then send the annotations with optional message instructions. The selected document and submitted comments stay attached to your request. Read-only inline previews remain available for quick inspection and downloads; they do not create another annotation interface.

Annotations do not edit the file by themselves. They tell GovTribe AI what to change next. For example, if you add a note to a title that says "make this red," GovTribe AI can use the annotation location to find the title, revise the document, render-check the result, and present the updated document in the pane for another review pass. Earlier drafts and their submitted annotations remain available. Historical inline annotation views are read-only. Saved marks that were never submitted are labeled as unsent drafts; continue review in the document pane and send the requested changes when ready.

Effective annotation comments are specific enough to act on:

• Say the exact change you want, such as "replace this sentence with..." or "make this heading red."
• Mark the smallest area that identifies the target text, table, chart, or section.
• Use separate annotations for separate edits.
• Say whether the edit applies only to the marked place or to every similar occurrence.
• Flag uncertainty directly, such as "check this against Section L" or "confirm this value before final."

Example prompt:

Open [document, file, or artifact] in the document pane for review. Use Proposal Workflows if this is a proposal or capture artifact.

After I submit annotations, treat each comment as a requested document edit. Use the annotation location to identify the exact text, table, chart, or section. Apply clear edits such as "make this red," "replace this sentence with...," "shorten this paragraph," or "flag this as unsupported." If an annotation is ambiguous, ask me before changing the file. Render-check the revised document and present it in the document pane for another review pass.
