Leadership Connect today launched the Leadership Connect AI Plugin, which brings verified government people, policy, and spending data into Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. The AI Plugin ends all guesswork in government affairs, once and for all.
The midterm elections just blew up organizational charts across Congress, federal agencies, and state governments. Members are packing up. Staffers are already moving. Teams still working from last month’s contact list are calling the wrong people.
Starting today, anyone who needs reliable public-sector data — including government affairs teams, policy professionals, and federal contractors — can subscribe and ask Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or Microsoft Copilot the questions general-purpose AI was not built to answer: who holds a given job right now and how to reach them.
“General-purpose AI will write you a beautiful brief about the wrong person,” said Michael Crosby, president and chief executive officer of Leadership Connect. “We fixed that. We’ve built the map of who actually runs government, by hand, over decades. Now it lives inside your AI. Stop guessing. Start trusting.”
Verified answers that won’t come back to haunt you
For more than 50 years, Leadership Connect has hand-built proprietary data on government people and policy. A team of researchers updates each record as people change roles across federal and state government, as well as the top contractors, nonprofits, and government affairs teams that support them. Customers reach the person in the job today, not the one who left last year.
The AI Plugin brings that best-in-class data into Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. Because people, policy, spending, and relationship data live in one source, customers can follow the full thread: identify staffers on a committee, see which bills they’re working on, find a warm introduction, and turn it all into a brief detailing key issues and whom to engage. Contractors can follow the money the same way: see where agencies are spending, who holds those contracts, and who makes the buying decisions.
What you can do with the AI Plugin
Depending on their subscription, Leadership Connect customers can:
- Map an agency before lunch: offices, reporting lines, and who leads each one, down to the staff.
- See who’s behind a bill before the vote: beyond the committee, the cosponsors and staff driving legislation.
- Build the target list in one request: people by role, issue, or organization, with contact information.
- Know the official before the meeting. Generate a prep brief on the person who will be across the table.
- Find a warm introduction. See who has worked alongside the official you are trying to reach and how they connect to your team.
- Catch the move as it happens: who left, where they landed, and who replaced them.
- Shape the next opportunity. See what your target agencies are buying, which awards are up for renewal, and whom to engage before the solicitation drops.
Instead of pasting search results into an AI assistant and checking every name by hand, users can simply ask their AI assistant who handles an issue in a congressional office or federal agency and get the person’s name, role, and contact information in one answer.
“The AI you already use can now deliver verified answers from Leadership Connect, allowing you to monitor, analyze, and act on government changes with confidence. The possibilities are limitless,” Crosby said.
