The Pentagon and intelligence community may soon have a new ally in artificial intelligence. Seekr, a commercial generative AI company, has announced a strategic partnership with ORI, a government tech partner and reseller with more than 35 years of experience serving federal agencies.
The mission? Deliver trustworthy, scalable, and mission-ready AI that helps U.S. defense and intelligence organizations modernize warfighting and secure a critical decision advantage.
Commercial AI Meets Government-Grade Demands
Generative AI is already reshaping industries, but in national defense, the stakes are far higher. Government agencies need more than chatbots—they need AI that can handle classified data, operate at the edge, and maintain transparency and trust across the entire lifecycle.
That’s where SeekrFlow™, Seekr’s enterprise AI platform, comes in. The system allows agencies to deploy, monitor, and scale reliable LLMs and agentic AI solutions across environments—from cloud to on-premises to edge computing.
“This partnership between ORI and Seekr magnifies our combined ability to deliver secure, scalable AI to federal customers operating in environments that demand mission success and trust at every stage,” said Kathy Benson, ORI co-founder and CEO.
Why This Matters
While commercial AI platforms like OpenAI’s GPT and Anthropic’s Claude grab headlines, the federal sector often finds them too opaque—or too risky—for mission-critical use. Seekr’s approach focuses on fit-for-purpose AI agents built for the realities of government data, with guardrails for transparency, safety, and operational agility.
Rob Clark, President of Seekr, put it bluntly: “This isn’t just off-the-shelf commercial tech—it’s government-grade AI engineered for security, operational agility, and impact at the edge.”
The Bigger Picture: AI in Defense
Defense and intelligence agencies are already experimenting with AI for logistics, surveillance, and battlefield decision support. But scaling these tools has proven difficult, with concerns around bias, explainability, and trustworthiness holding back adoption.
By pairing Seekr’s AI expertise with ORI’s long-standing federal relationships, the partnership aims to lower those barriers, helping agencies accelerate deployment without sacrificing compliance or security.
If successful, it could set a precedent for how commercial AI companies engage with the U.S. government: not by shoehorning consumer tech into military use cases, but by co-developing mission-specific, government-ready AI that can be trusted where it matters most.
