What Are AI Recommendations?
AI Recommendations surfaces opportunities that match your company profile — so instead of searching manually, relevant contracts come to you. The AI analyzes your NAICS codes, capabilities, certifications, and past performance to find the best fits.
How It Works
Complete Your Company Profile
Add your NAICS codes, capabilities, certifications, and business description in your Company Profile. The more complete your profile, the better the matches.
Run Recommendations
Click Refresh Recommendations to trigger a new analysis. The AI scans opportunities across all sources and scores them against your profile.
Review Your Matches
Browse recommended opportunities sorted by match score. Each card shows why the opportunity is a good fit for your company.
Refreshing Recommendations
Click Refresh Recommendations (top right) to run a new batch. The button shows status as it runs:- Refresh Recommendations — ready to run
- Starting… — triggering the analysis
- Recommendations Running — analysis in progress
Daily refresh limit
Each account has a fixed number of refreshes per day (shown below the button as N of N refreshes remaining today). When the limit is reached, the button is disabled until the next day. Refresh counts reset daily. Run a refresh when you have time to review all results rather than refreshing repeatedly.If a refresh fails, a banner appears with error details. Contact support@samsearch.co if the issue persists.
Tabs
The Recommendations page has two tabs:- Profile — AI-matched opportunities based on your company profile
- Saved Searches — Recommendations from your saved searches; appears once you have saved searches with alerts enabled
Reading your results
Match Score
Each recommendation shows a match score from 0–100% indicating how well the opportunity fits your profile.| Label | Score range | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Excellent Fit | ~80–100% | Strong alignment across multiple profile dimensions |
| Good Fit | ~60–79% | Solid alignment with minor gaps |
| Moderate Fit | ~40–59% | Some alignment; worth reviewing |
| Low Match | <40% | Weak alignment; likely not a fit |
Why it matches
Each card includes a Why it matches section that explains in plain language why the AI scored the opportunity highly. Click to expand it. Use this for quick go/no-go decisions before opening the full contract.Filtering & Sorting
Within each tab you can:- Match Score slider — Filter out recommendations below a threshold
- Source selector — Show only specific opportunity types (Federal, SLED, Grants, etc.)
- Sort by — Order results by Score, Posted Date, or other criteria
Acting on Recommendations
For each recommended opportunity you can:- Thumbs up — Mark as relevant; helps the AI learn what matches your business
- Thumbs down — Mark as not relevant; trains the AI to exclude similar opportunities
- View Analysis — AI-generated alignment summary with strengths and gaps
- Archive — Move out of your active view for later review
- Export — Download current recommendations (respecting filters) as CSV
- Dismiss — Remove from your list if not relevant
- Dismiss All — Clear all recommendations in the current view
- Save to Leads — Add for later review
- Start Journey — Create a journey in Journey Hub
- Open opportunity — View full details and analyze with Sammy
Using thumbs up and thumbs down regularly improves recommendation quality over time. The AI learns your preferences with each piece of feedback.
Email Notifications
Get recommended opportunities delivered to your inbox. Configure frequency in Email Preferences on your Company Profile.
Improving Your Recommendations
Recommendation quality depends on profile completeness:- NAICS Codes — Add all relevant industry codes
- Business Description — Describe services, expertise, and past performance
- Certifications — Include set-aside certifications (8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, etc.)
- Documents — Upload capability statements and past performance records
Update your profile as your business grows to keep recommendations accurate.
Best Practices
- Refresh regularly — Run a new batch at least weekly
- Use thumbs up/down — Train the model on what fits your business
- Keep your profile current — Outdated NAICS codes lead to poor matches
- Set up email alerts — Configure email preferences so you do not have to check manually
- Use both tabs — Saved Search recommendations can surface opportunities your Profile tab might miss
