Accrete AI Government LLC, the Federal subsidiary of Accrete, Inc., a New York-based dual-use AI company founded by Prashant Bhuyan, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership to bring Accrete’s AI Knowledge Engine and Expert AI Agent platform to an expanded market of buyers.
Under this agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Accrete AI Government’s Master Government Aggregator®, making the company’s Expert AI Agents including Argus for Social Media Narrative Influence and Argus for Supply Chain Influence available to Government agencies through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP V), Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2), National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint and OMNIA Partners contracts.
“The sheer volume and complexity of the data collected by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Intelligence Community has resulted in an unprecedented analytic burden which represents a significant vulnerability,” said Bill Wall, CEO at Accrete AI Government. “Accrete’s AI Knowledge Engine platform is highly configurable, which enables Expert AI Agents such as Argus to gather massive volumes of information, analyze that information using encoded tacit human domain knowledge, and surface insights by revealing hidden relationships.”
Currently, Accrete’s Expert AI Agents are being employed to support government agencies in addressing critical missions by driving analytical efficiency and shortening decision cycles. For example, Argus has been deployed in production with the U.S. Department of Defense for several years. Argus encodes tacit domain knowledge of intelligence analysts and uses that ground truth to analyze massive volumes of open source and proprietary data.
Argus autonomously builds knowledge graphs that semantically unify complex information silos to reveal hidden relationships between seemingly unrelated entities. Argus surfaces vulnerabilities in the context of Foreign Ownership, Control and Influence (FOCI) and the supply chain, instantly writing intelligence reports with full source attribution and reasoning back to ground truth. Argus not only drives exponential efficiency gains, but it also helps users to proactively detect and deter vulnerabilities by providing a decision edge.
Similarly, Argus is also being used by organizations to encode the tacit domain knowledge of intelligence analysts into Expert AI Agents that analyze an abundance of cross-platform, multi-modal social media data in real time. Argus for Social Media Influence enables these analysts to “jump into the mind” of specific personas in hyper-specific domains to detect and deter narratives manufactured by foreign adversaries designed to capture mindshare and manipulate behavior.
“Accrete’s unique AI capabilities complement our portfolio and address the growing need for advanced analytical tools within the Public Sector,” said Michael Adams, Program Executive for AI Solutions at Carahsoft. “As agencies face increasingly complex challenges in both supply chain security and social media intelligence, these solutions, available through our reseller partners, provide the insights necessary to make informed decisions and enhance operational effectiveness.”
