How govnex works

One consultant, a team of agents.

govnex is deliberately small. The work a team would otherwise do is done by agents: partner research, a customer radar for Microsoft changes, follow-up, LinkedIn drafts, research. Every agent has a memory in Git, fixed rules and a human who decides. Exactly what govnex recommends to mid-sized companies.
