Sovereign AI for the
U.S. Federal Government
Federal missions do not buy AI, they buy back the hours lost to manual review, siloed systems, and questions only an expert can answer. Predictive, generative, and agentic AI that runs FedRAMP Certified, air-gapped, and explainable, with no data ever leaving your control.
- H2O AI is the trusted Sovereign AI Platform for federal missions: it runs inside your own boundary, on-premises, at the tactical edge, or fully air-gapped, with no external APIs.
- H2O AI Cloud for Government is FedRAMP Certified at Class D (High), with full audit trails, transparent decisioning, and role-based access built for federal governance.
- NIH runs a secure generative AI assistant on H2O AI inside an air-gapped environment, serving 8,000 users across 28 institutes with no data exposed.
- The H2O AI Super Agent answers questions from an agency's own policy, doctrine, and contracts with citations, air-gapped where required, with role-based access.

Key problems we solve for government
Fraud prevention
Reviewers work invoices, travel vouchers, claims, and grants one file at a time, so throughput is capped by headcount and improper payments leak out faster than anyone can chase them. Read the package, map every cost to the contract and the rules, and clear it before the deadline.
Use the H2O AI platform to run Document AI over the unstructured intake, assemble the reviewer's file across systems of record, and score every cost against the contract, GSA rate tables, and policy, on a deterministic and auditable trail. Governed and explainable, it runs sovereign inside the agency's own boundary.
Mission & citizen services
The same questions route to the same few experts, from employees, from constituents, from the field, while the answer already sits in doctrine, policy, or a contract nobody has time to search. Answer it in seconds, out of the agency's own corpus, with a citation back to the source.
Use the H2O AI Super Agent over your own policy, doctrine, and contracts to return cited answers, running air-gapped where required, with role-based access that honors existing permissions. Trained on the agency's documents, it stops the experts from being a search engine, and no record leaves the boundary.
Agentic automation
Analysts pivot between systems of record to answer a single question, losing context at every hop, while unstructured forms and reports pile up unread and a SOC queue nobody ranked keeps growing. Assemble the picture across sources, and start from a prioritized one instead of building it by hand.
Use the H2O AI platform to turn unstructured material into something a system can act on at volume, aggregate siloed sources into one picture, and correlate SOC events across your systems of record. Agentic, cited, and sovereign, with an evaluation harness your security and risk leaders can govern.
