Capabilities

Tools 29

analyze_contract_with_cohere

Use Cohere Command A+ to review a CanadaBuys tender and explain fit, risks, and next steps. Hosted: sign-in and an active workspaceAlberta Pro subscription required.

Discovered
bid_no_bid_scorecard

Fast deterministic bid/no-bid checklist for one opportunity in any sector: profile fit, runway to closing, region match, Buy Canadian or other domestic-preference flags, and a go/caution/no-go verdict with reasons. No model call. Hosted: sign-in and an active workspaceAlberta Pro subscription required.

Discovered
check_cohere_status

Check whether the optional Cohere Command A+ model integration is configured. Does not call the model.

Discovered
classify_tender

List what a bidder must supply for one tender: splits the tender PDFs into clauses, classifies each clause and page with TypeSafe AI's Jev classifier, and groups the results into one requirement per kind (for example key personnel, mandatory site visit, bid bond), with a mandatory flag, the WorkspaceAlberta connector that would collect it, lead time, page numbers and short evidence quotes. Clause and page text is sent to TypeSafe AI (api.typesafe.ai) for classification; WorkspaceAlberta stores nothing beyond the existing private upload bucket for APC files. PDFs only (PDFs inside ZIPs are read); up to 800 pages and 8,000 clauses per call. CanadaBuys: reads the public tender attachments. Alberta APC: the first call returns a private upload link (the same upload flow as process_bid_room); the user downloads the documents with their own APC supplier account and uploads them, then you call again with upload_token. The link expires as before (2 hours). This tool does not delete the uploads, so process_bid_room can use the same upload_token afterwards. Returns markdown followed by the full result as JSON (schema wa.tender_requirements.v1, with tender closing time and posting link). Returns within 140 seconds; a result cut short by a limit is labelled partial. Results are classifier outputs: verify them against the official posting and amendments. Hosted: sign-in and an active workspaceAlberta Pro subscription required.

Discovered
daily_bid_brief

Generate a free daily bid brief from the full CanadaBuys and Alberta APC catalogues for any business. Pass an inline `profile` to describe the business per call. Best fits start with the same TypeSafe Jev supply classification as find_business_fit. Domestic-preference flags are included when a matched notice carries them. When configured, search terms or business capabilities may be sent to Cohere to select commodity filters. See /privacy. When a business description is present and TypeSafe is configured, notice text and that description are sent to TypeSafe for supply-fit classification. See /privacy.

Discovered
find_alberta_opportunities

Find Alberta Purchasing Connection opportunities that match your business profile. Pass an inline `profile` to describe the business per call. When configured, search terms or business capabilities may be sent to Cohere to select commodity filters. See /privacy.

Discovered
find_business_fit

Rank open CanadaBuys and Alberta Purchasing Connection notices for a free-text business description. A commodity-code and term prefilter cuts the catalogues to a short candidate list, then TypeSafe Jev classifies each notice: could this business supply it (yes, partial, or no) and as which capability (goods supply, services, training, or subcontract). Yes and partial results are ordered by that verdict, then by the existing keyword score and Buy Canadian bonus. If Jev is not configured or rejects the key, keyword ranking is used and the result says so. The description and a short notice summary are sent to TypeSafe when classification runs. See /privacy. workspaceAlberta does not submit a bid or decide eligibility. When a business description is present and TypeSafe is configured, notice text and that description are sent to TypeSafe for supply-fit classification. See /privacy.

Discovered
find_matching_opportunities

Rank CanadaBuys and Alberta APC opportunities for any business profile, in any sector. Pass an inline `profile` to describe the business per call. A description is classified with TypeSafe Jev (yes, partial, or no, and goods supply, services, training, or subcontract) after a commodity-code prefilter; keyword score and Buy Canadian bonuses break ties. Steel, lumber, aluminum, and construction remain valid labels. When configured, search terms or business capabilities may be sent to Cohere to select commodity filters. See /privacy. When a business description is present and TypeSafe is configured, notice text and that description are sent to TypeSafe for supply-fit classification. See /privacy.

Ontario-only streams are labeled so an Alberta firm can see they do not apply. workspaceAlberta does not apply for funding or decide eligibility.

Discovered
process_bid_room

Process tender attachments in E2B: sends documents and business context to E2B, PDF page images/images and extracted evidence to Cohere Parse and Command A+. See /privacy for processing locations. For Alberta APC postings, the first call returns a private upload link: the user downloads the documents with their own APC supplier account and uploads them, then you call again with upload_token.
