Where Sammy Lives
Sammy is the same assistant everywhere — the same tools, the same approval flow, the same citation system — but the context it starts with changes depending on where you open it from.
The Docked Panel

- Ask Sammy button — in the top navigation bar on any page, opens the docked panel without navigating away. It’s resizable — drag its left edge — and reserves its own space rather than covering the page.
- Dashboard search box — on your home Dashboard, the search box prompts “Ask Sammy to…” with rotating suggestions like find opportunities, draft an email, or summarize my pursuits.
- Wherever you open it from, the docked panel already knows what you’re looking at — an opportunity, a journey, a proposal draft — and answers accordingly, the same way Sammy does from its full chat page.
Sammy’s launcher is unavailable until your account is on a paid plan or an active trial — you’ll see it disabled with a tooltip explaining why until then.
What Sammy Can Do
Find Opportunities
Ask Sammy to search across every source — “Find federal cybersecurity opportunities due in the next 30 days” — and results come back as actionable cards you can save or start a journey from directly in the conversation
Draft & Send Emails
Ask Sammy to draft an email — to a contracting officer, teaming partner, or teammate. If you’ve connected Gmail or Outlook, Sammy can send it without leaving the conversation; otherwise it opens in your mail client
Summarize a Pursuit
Ask what’s outstanding on a journey — tasks, compliance gaps, submission deadline — without opening every tab yourself
Read Attached Documents
Upload or @-reference any PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, or text file and ask Sammy about its contents — including scanned solicitations Sammy can extract text and tables from
Page-Aware Context
When you open Sammy from a contract page, journey, or proposal editor, it already has the right documents and metadata loaded — no copy-pasting
Redesign Your Dashboard
Tell Sammy how you want your home Dashboard laid out and it proposes a new layout for you to apply — see below
Redesigning Your Dashboard
This is one of Sammy’s least-obvious capabilities: you can ask it to change how your home Dashboard looks, in plain language — “put my overdue tasks at the top” or “show me a bigger recommendations widget.” Sammy proposes a schematic layout preview (not the live dashboard, just its shape) with a summary of the change. Click Apply to dashboard to make it real, or Cancel to dismiss the suggestion. Once applied, you can ask Sammy to tweak it further, or just say “reset my dashboard” to go back to the default.Charts in Chat
Ask Sammy for a chart — a breakdown of your pipeline by stage, a comparison of set-aside types, agency spending in your NAICS codes — and it renders directly in the conversation, with a one-click Copy as image to paste it elsewhere.Human-in-the-Loop Approval
Some of what Sammy can do changes real data in your account — creating tasks, moving a journey’s stage, saving an opportunity, updating your compliance matrix, editing your Company Profile. For any of these, Sammy pauses and asks first.
Sammy needs your approval before applying this changewith the specific proposed change shown above it — for example, which tasks will be created, which journey column a pursuit will move to, or which compliance requirements will be added or updated — and two buttons: Decline and Approve. Nothing is applied until you click Approve; Decline discards the proposed change entirely. There’s no partial-approval or edit-before-approving option — it’s a straight yes/no on exactly what’s shown.
Read-only requests — searching, summarizing, answering questions — never trigger this banner. It only appears when Sammy is about to write something.
Uploading & Referencing Documents
Uploading a file directly into the chat composer:- Up to 50 MB per file, 150 MB total per request, and 20 files per request
- Accepted types:
.pdf.doc.docx.xls.xlsx.pptx.csv.txt, plus common image formats
Where a document lives changes what it can feed. Company Profile documents are available to Sammy and to proposal generation everywhere in the app. Documents uploaded only inside a single journey are available to that journey’s chat and proposal, but contribute less strongly to that journey’s Strategy Insights and compliance assessment. Put anything you’ll want referenced broadly — capability statements, past performance — in your Company Profile.
Suggested Prompts & the Prompt Library
When you open a new chat, Sammy shows three suggested prompts tailored to where you are — different sets for the global assistant, an opportunity page, a journey, an SBIR/STTR topic, the proposal editor, and Fill & Sign. If you’ve pinned any prompts, those replace the suggestions. Click Browse prompt library to open the full curated collection, organized into nine categories:- Contract Analysis & Understanding — requirements, scope, deadlines, evaluation criteria
- Opportunity Assessment — bid/no-bid analysis, competitive landscape, capability match
- Proposal Development — drafting, refinement, compliance and formatting checks
- Document Analysis — summarizing, extracting deadlines/deliverables, comparing versions
- Strategic Planning — win strategy, resource planning, business development
- AI-Assisted Writing — generating ideas, tightening prose, restructuring content
- Technical Assistance — technical requirements, solution approaches
- Performance & Past Experience — capability statements, past-performance narratives
- Proposal Strategy — competitive positioning, pricing strategy
Your own prompts
Click New prompt in the library to write your own: give it an optional title, write the prompt, and click Save prompt. It’s added under Your prompts. Saving a prompt you already have just tells you it’s already in your prompts. To change a saved prompt, hover over it in Your prompts and click the pencil (Edit prompt). The same editor opens with your text filled in; make your changes and click Save changes. If the save is refused — for example, because the new text duplicates another saved prompt — you’ll see an error and the editor stays open with your text intact, so nothing is lost. The trash icon next to the pencil deletes the prompt.Citations
When Sammy’s answer draws on an uploaded or referenced document, you’ll see small numbered citation chips inline in the response ([1], [2], or [N sources] when several are bundled together). Click one to jump straight to the cited page in the document viewer, with the exact passage highlighted — not just the right page, but the right sentence.
When Sammy references a specific opportunity or partner from a search it ran, that shows up as a full result card right in the conversation (with Save / Start Journey actions), or — if it’s mentioned inline in a sentence — as a small hoverable chip with a preview.
You can also work the other direction: select text inside an attached document or inside Sammy’s own answer and click Ask about this to drop that exact excerpt into your next question as context. Once you send the question, the quoted excerpt stays visible above your message in the conversation, so you can always see which passage you asked about.

- Your Memories — personal facts and preferences Sammy has picked up from your own conversations, visible only to you
Tips
Be specific
“What compliance requirements apply to this contract?” gets a better answer than “Tell me about this opportunity.”
Add context
Tell Sammy who you are: “We’re a woman-owned small business with 5 years in IT managed services…”
Use follow-ups
Start broad, then drill down: “What are the key requirements?” → “Do we meet the past performance standard?”
Verify important claims
Click through citations on anything that matters, and cross-reference critical compliance or legal information against the actual solicitation document.
