Chatbot vs. Agent

Most LLM AI tools today behave like chatbots: they wait for instructions, retrieve information, and deliver responses only when prompted. They are useful, but limited.

GARY is different. Built as an agentic AI system, GARY behaves more like a seasoned analyst. He interprets mission context, connects information across silos, and proactively surfaces issues leaders might not see until they become critical.

This difference — from reactive chatbots to proactive analysts — is what makes GARY and CORAS' agentic AI transformative for the Department of War.

What Most AI Does Today

Conventional AI systems:

• Respond to explicit prompts only
• Retrieve or summarize information on demand
• Offer no initiative, prioritization, or mission context

In practice, this means leaders and staff still spend large amounts of time preparing data and formatting reports — time that could otherwise be directed to planning, decision-making, and execution.

How GARY Thinks and Acts Like a Senior Analyst

GARY’s agentic design means he acts — not just answers.

• Mission-aware reasoning: GARY understands DoW acquisition, program, and contract workflows.
• Cross-system synthesis: He connects information across data sources, spotting patterns and gaps that humans might not see quickly.
• Proactive analysis: GARY identifies risks and bottlenecks before they escalate.
• What-if simulations: He models alternative courses of action, presents trade-offs, and provides confidence levels.
• Transparent outputs: Every recommendation comes with logic traces, source citations, and caveats — ensuring human oversight.

Rather than replace human judgment, GARY augments it with speed, structure, and transparency. GARY is your team member, providing relief from repetitive tasks and exponential time and cost savings through 50x productivity. 

Section 3: Operational Impact for the DoW

When deployed inside the CORAS decision intelligence platform:

• Time is reclaimed: Teams focus on decisions, not data wrangling.
• Risks are surfaced earlier: Misalignments and readiness gaps are identified proactively.
• Decisions accelerate: Actionable insights delivered in minutes instead of weeks.
• Security is maintained: Operating at IL5 and FedRAMP High across NIPR and SIPR, GARY enforces role-based access and full audit trails.

The outcome is simple: leaders stay focused on mission execution and strategy while GARY handles the data grind.

AI as a Teammate, Not Just a Tool

The Department of War doesn’t need another chatbot or static dashboard. The true leap forward is agentic AI — AI that analyzes, reasons, and operates within mission context while keeping humans firmly in the loop.

That’s what GARY delivers: not a tool you prompt, but a trusted digital teammate and force multiplier for the mission.
