SAM.gov AI chatbot
SAM.gov AI chatbot access via Bonfire lets you ask about open solicitations or verify a vendor by messaging Slack or Telegram. Bonfire runs locally and queries the SAM.gov API, turning federal contracting data into answers without leaving your machine.

SAM.gov — questions
Can Bonfire automate SAM.gov?
Yes. Bonfire runs on your machine, holds your SAM.gov credentials locally, and a connected model (Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok) drives the SAM.gov API to run the actions you ask for in chat.
Does my SAM.gov data go to the cloud?
Bonfire runs on your desktop and keeps your keys local — it isn't a SaaS holding your data. Only the specific request you approve is sent to your chosen AI model.
Which AI models can I use?
Any connected model — Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok. A fully offline Llama model runs locally for private reasoning but can't reach live APIs.
