AI for Agencies — Thanks Anderson, Inc.
← All practices Practice / Public Sector

AI for public agencies, built for public budgets.

Practical AI training and implementation for workforce boards, SBDCs, and public programs. Scoped to fit micro-purchase rules — no competitive bid required — so you can put this year's funds to work before they're gone.

The hard part of AI in the public sector isn't the technology. It's adoption — and documentation your teams can stand behind.

We start where your staff actually are: plain-language training that makes AI useful in a single session, not a semester. Then, where it earns its keep, we build the tool — an assistant over your own program materials, an intake automation, a reporting helper — and train your team to use it.

Everything is scoped, priced, and documented for how public procurement really works, with responsible-AI practices your compliance and grant teams can point to.

How we engage

Three ways to start — sized to your budget.

Most agencies begin with a workshop, then build once they've seen what's possible. You can enter at any rung.

01

AI Workshop

Get your team AI-literate

A hands-on training session for your staff — what these tools do, where they help, and how to use them safely and effectively in your actual workflows. Quick-reference guides and prompt playbooks included.

02

Custom Build

A tool for your program

We build a focused AI tool around a real bottleneck — an assistant grounded in your program documents, an intake or eligibility helper, a reporting aid — deployed and ready for your team to use.

03

Ongoing Support

Keep it working & current

A light retainer for updates, additional training as staff turn over, new use cases, and the documentation your program needs as tools and guidance evolve.

Built for how you buy

Designed to fit public procurement.

Micro-purchase friendly

No competitive bid

Engagements are scoped to fit micro-purchase thresholds, so you can move quickly without a formal solicitation.

Fiscal-year timing

Use it before you lose it

Fast to start and fast to deliver — a clean way to put remaining budget to work before the fiscal year closes.

Documentation ready

Capability statement on request

A capability statement, scope, and responsible-AI notes your procurement, compliance, and grant teams can file.

Proof of capability
We build real production AI, not slideware. Our flagship system, Max, runs in daily production and reached ~85% active adoption among its users — the same build-and-adopt discipline we bring to public programs.

Next step

Start with a call. It's free.

Thirty minutes to talk through what your program is trying to do and where the manual work is piling up — plain English, no acronyms, no pitch. If it's a fit, I'll send a capability statement and a scoped option that fits your budget window. If it isn't, I'll tell you.
