SEAO Chatbot
Industry•December 3, 2025•4 minutes read
Access to public contract data is universal in Quebec.
You have the opportunity to analyze competitors, evaluate client buying habits, or even identify underserved niches.
But do you actually do it? Probably not, or not as well as you should...
The reality is that SEAO open data is underused.
The reason is simple: navigating SEAO to collect data is inefficient.
Seev + SEAO = on‑demand market intelligence
SEAO data isn't very useful on a daily basis without fast analysis capabilities.
That's why Seev is launching a new tool: a conversational assistant connected to SEAO public contract data.
In just seconds, get market intelligence that answers the questions YOU care about:
- "Who are the top suppliers for client X?"
- "Which supplier won the latest public contract with client Y?"
- "Is product Z usually purchased through public tenders or via sole‑source contracts?"
Answers to your questions!
- How does it work?
- Apply search filters (client, supplier, keywords, contract type, period, etc.).
- Ask your questions to an AI agent.
- Chat with the AI agent to get the final conclusions you need.
- How can this tool help you win more public contracts?
- Predict who your competitors will be on a tender, or how many there will be. Adjust your pricing strategy.
- Identify competitors who repeatedly win with a given client. Position yourself accordingly in your proposal.
- Find low‑competition tenders in your sector. Maybe a new opportunity to exploit?
- What does it actually bring beyond SEAO?
- Speed and simplicity: Apply the right filters in seconds. No more complex search menus nobody uses.
- Answers: Get answers to your questions, not just unstructured data you have to process and analyze yourself.
- Context: Enrich SEAO data directly within the Seev platform. Use web search, your internal files, and more to generate advanced analyses or get clarifications.
- Who is this tool for?
- SMB employees looking to enter public markets: discover opportunities in your sector, price trends, and active competitors.
- "Wear‑all‑the‑hats" people in SMBs already selling to the public sector: you don't have time to search SEAO. Preparing a proposal is already a miracle.
- Proposal managers: you know SEAO data can be a difference‑maker, but you already have too many responsibilities and proposals to handle.
- Finance leaders: you validate final pricing, but too often in the dark.
- Public‑sector procurement advisors: you need to stay on top of procurement trends, but it's complicated with all the products and services under your responsibility.
- Journalists and researchers: you want to quickly spot irregularities, anomalies, or exceptions. SEAO's current data format doesn't let you do that.
