Yes. There is no federal law, state law, or FTC regulation that prevents you from signing up with a .gov address. This is individual professional access. Joining the waitlist is not an agency commitment, a procurement action, or an endorsement of any kind.

Some agencies have Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs) that restrict commercial account creation with official email. Most of those policies include a work-related exception for professional tools and software evaluations, which is exactly what this is. Some agencies, particularly federal departments and large municipalities, require IT Manager pre-approval before any cloud service signup. If your agency has this policy, get that approval first. We can provide vendor documentation to support your request. If your AUP is strict and you'd like to review it together, book a 30-minute call with us and we'll walk through your policy and find the right path forward.

For the vast majority of government employees, no. We reviewed federal agency AUPs (HHS, IRS, DoD, State Department) and found that while many restrict personal commercial account creation, they uniformly allow professional tool evaluations related to job duties. Compass is a professional workflow tool for government work, not a personal service.

No. Your documents and data are never used to train any AI model, ours or anyone else's. They're processed to do the work you asked for, and nothing else. This is a contractual commitment, not a settings toggle. NationGraph operates exclusively on publicly available government records; we never access or retain your internal agency data for any purpose beyond your requested task.

No. Consumer AI tools were built for the public internet and are designed to learn from everything they see. Pasting sensitive or public records into them is a data-handling risk that government AI policies increasingly prohibit. NationGraph Compass runs in a controlled, access-controlled environment built specifically around government public records, and every answer cites the source document it came from. The architecture, the data, and the accountability are completely different.

NationGraph Compass is a suite of purpose-built AI agents, each handling a specific category of government work. You interact with them through a single AI assistant that understands your agency, your role, and your context.

FOIA Agent: You describe what records you need. Compass drafts a legally compliant FOIA request, files it through NationGraph's recognized sender address, tracks the response, and surfaces the relevant information. No attorneys. No hourly billing.

Grant Agent: Compass continuously monitors federal and state grant programs, matches them to your agency's type, size, and geography, alerts you before deadlines, and drafts the full application for your review and submission.

Budget Analysis Agent: Cross-references your agency's spend against purchase orders from 90,000 peer agencies. Shows you exactly where you are overpaying and by how much, backed by real contract data.

Report Writer Agent: Drafts council reports, policy memos, and briefing documents in public administration language, sourced from your own agency data. You review and sign.

Vendor Match Agent: Before any procurement decision, Compass shows what peer agencies paid for the same vendor, how those contracts performed, who signed them, and when they expire. No more blind bids.

Meeting Prep Agent: Briefs you before every council meeting with peer precedents, relevant budget context, and talking points, all drawn from public records and your agency's history.

Email Sequence Builder: Describe who you need to reach and what you need to say. Compass drafts, personalizes, queues, and sends inter-agency correspondence on your behalf, charged per send.

Compliance Agent: Tracks every regulatory obligation your agency owes to state, federal, and county bodies. Drafts submissions, routes them to the correct office, confirms receipt, and flags upcoming deadlines before they become problems.

Yes. NationGraph indexes federal and state grant programs continuously, matching eligibility criteria against your agency's type, size, geography, and programs. When Compass finds a match, it shows the grant amount, deadline, and requirements, then drafts the application for you. Many agencies recover their entire NationGraph subscription cost in grant funding within the first cycle.

Compass drafts for your review. Nothing is filed, sent, or submitted without your explicit approval. You are the final signatory on every FOIA request, grant application, compliance report, and email sequence.

Treat all Compass outputs the way you would a draft from a junior staff member: read it, verify it, then sign it. Compass reduces the time you spend creating the draft; you retain full ownership of what goes out.

Yes. Beyond the 8 agents in the standard Compass suite, NationGraph offers a forward deployment program for agencies with complex, high-volume, or workflow-specific automation needs.

Our engineering team embeds directly with your agency to audit your existing workflows, identify the highest-value automation opportunities, and build purpose-built agents scoped to your operations. Every agent we build for your agency is designed to be reusable across similar agencies in our network, which means the investment compounds over time.

Forward deployment engagements are structured as agency partnerships, not one-time projects. NationGraph stays involved through deployment, iteration, and ongoing improvement, ensuring your agents evolve as your agency's needs do.

If your agency handles a workflow that is manual, repetitive, and government-specific, we can almost certainly build an agent for it. Contact our team to discuss a custom deployment engagement.

Your NationGraph profile travels with you. Update your agency and title and your peer network, problem history, and full Compass access transfer automatically. Government employees move between agencies, get appointed, get elected, and change roles. NationGraph becomes your professional identity in public service: more portable than a business card, more trusted than LinkedIn, verified by your government email at every stop.
