Why people use OpenGov
OpenGov for Public Sector Budget Tracking
This Connector changes that by bringing the data to you. Instead of hunting for a report, you just ask your agent to list_reports or fetch the data. You get the numbers you need right in your chat window, letting you focus on the actual analysis instead of the navigation.
What Vinkius changes
You get direct, conversational access to public sector financial data.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.
