How it works
From your question to the public record and back
Step 1
You ask a question
In plain English, in Claude or ChatGPT.
Step 2
Your assistant calls GovBot
A GovBot connector or plugin, added once from the directory.
Step 3
GovBot reads the public records
Read-only requests to the government publishers that hold the records.
Step 4
You receive a sourced answer
The answer names the publisher and the date of each record.
Use your existing assistant
Start in 1 minute
Add the listing
Add the GovBot product once: from the connector directory in Claude, or the plugin directory in ChatGPT.
Turn it on in the chat
In Claude, turn the connector on in the chat. In ChatGPT, type @ and choose the plugin.
Ask
Ask in plain English.
Add a plugin to ChatGPT
- Search ChatGPT’s plugin directory for the exact listing name, for example “GovBot Disaster History”.
- Open the listing and add it.
- In a new chat, type @ and choose the plugin, then ask.
Add the product before using an example prompt. Without it, Claude or ChatGPT answers without GovBot’s records.
