Short answer

How can I use AI to check Cuiabá municipal contracts?

Your agent uses list_contracts to pull tender details and contract awards directly from the city's database. You can then ask it to find specific vendors or highlight unusual spending patterns. Here is how it works.

The outcomes

What you get from your queries

The AI turns raw municipal data into organized intelligence.

DATA

Contract lists

The AI pulls specific tender and award information from the city records. You get a clean list of who won what and when.

ANALYSIS

Vendor tracking

Your agent can group contracts by company name. This makes it easy to see how much a single vendor is winning.

AUDIT

Spending patterns

The AI identifies large or frequent contract awards. You can quickly spot outliers in municipal spending.

HUMAN

Manual review

You take the AI's findings and cross-reference them with official documents. This is where you confirm any suspicious activity.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as the interface between your chat and the city's transparency database.

  1. Fetch data
