Key takeaways

The short version.

  • GovContracts.Money checks SAM.gov's open opportunities each morning and sends only new matches, each with a fit score, gaps to check, past winners from USAspending.gov, a deadline and the official link.
  • Google's help pages say Gemini can create, find and edit Google Calendar events when the Google Workspace app is on. They say it cannot create or draft documents, but a response can be exported to a new Google Doc.
  • Google's help page says a custom app can be added from an MCP server URL on gemini.google.com, for adults in the US with a personal Google Account, Keep Activity on and English. The app's address is https://govcontracts.money/mcp.
  • Nothing here is a listing, partnership or built-in integration with Google. If you cannot add custom apps, the app's free daily email and a paste into Gemini work today.
  • The app never submits a bid, and neither does Gemini here. Always confirm dates and requirements on the official SAM.gov notice.

It is for small teams that sell to federal buyers and already work in Google Calendar and Google Docs: contractors, consultants, subcontractors looking for primes, and the person who runs proposals alongside everything else. They do not need another dashboard. They need the response date on the calendar the team checks, and one place for notes.

[GovContracts.Money](/products/govcontractfinder) does the finding. It reads SAM.gov's public Contract Opportunities each morning and sends only new matches for your business. Gemini is Google's AI assistant, and it sits close to Calendar and Docs.

This is a workflow suggestion, not a claim about how any company works. GovContracts.Money is an independent app by Agent Structure LLC. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. government, and it has no partnership with Google.

Use cases

5 ways people use GovContracts.Money + Gemini.

  1. Calendar entry

    1. Put the response date on your calendar

    Every match carries a response deadline. Paste the alert into Gemini and ask for an event on that date. Google's help page says Gemini can create, find and edit Google Calendar events when the Google Workspace app is on, so it can also tell you what else is booked that week.

    Look at the event, including the time zone, before you rely on it. The SAM.gov notice is the final word, and notices can be amended.

  2. Bid notes

    2. Start a bid-notes doc for each match

    Ask Gemini to turn the alert into a short note: what is being bought, the deadline, the official link, the fit score and the gaps to check. Then use Share & export, Export to Docs, as Google's export page describes. That saves a new doc in Google Drive each time.

    Google's help page says Gemini cannot create or draft documents in Docs itself, and exporting does not append to a doc you already keep. For a running team doc, paste the new note in yourself.

  3. Team questions

    3. Turn the gaps into questions for the team

    Each match lists gaps to check. Give Gemini those lines with a short description of your company and ask it to phrase them as questions: do we hold the required certification, have we done work of this size, can we staff the location.

    The fit score is a guide, not an eligibility decision. Gemini only knows what you tell it, so correct anything it assumes.

  4. Notice summary

    4. Read the notice and list the open items

    Open the official notice and paste the text into Gemini, or upload the file if your account allows it. Ask for the requirements, every date and anything unclear, with the section each comes from.

    Treat the answer as a map. Google warns that Gemini can make mistakes, so check each item against the notice before it goes into your notes.

  5. Double check

    5. Back up the calendar with the app's own deadline

    A calendar event is one reminder. The match in the daily email also shows the deadline and the SAM.gov link, so you can compare the two.

    If they ever disagree, go back to the official notice and fix the event.

How to

How do I connect GovContracts.Money to Gemini?

  1. Step 1

    Start with what works today. Sign up for the free daily email on [govcontracts.money](https://govcontracts.money), open a match and paste it into Gemini with a request for a calendar event and a note.

  2. Step 2

    For a live connection, open Connect AI on the site to get a personal link and API key. No account is needed. The general MCP address is https://govcontracts.money/mcp.

  3. Step 3

    On a computer, open gemini.google.com, go to Settings, then Connected Apps, and add a custom app with that address. Type @ to use it in a prompt. See Google's [help page](https://support.google.com/gemini/answer/17209137).

  4. Step 4

    Gemini asks you to confirm write actions, such as adding a calendar event. Review each request before you approve it.

Google's help page limits custom apps to adults in the US with a personal Google Account, Keep Activity on and English, on the web and mobile app. It says servers without Dynamic Client Registration need credentials entered under Advanced features, and does not name header API keys, so whether the app's key works there could not be confirmed. GovContracts.Money is not listed in or built into Gemini.
