Tool
Claude searches federal awards and analyses the results to answer the question behind the query. Ask which agencies are spending on cloud infrastructure and it searches, aggregates by agency, and identifies the top spenders with context on the types of contracts. It turns a raw search into an analytical output rather than returning a list for you to interpret.
