Seekr, GDIT partner on secure agentic AI for government

Seekr and General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) have formed a strategic collaboration focused on agentic artificial intelligence for government operations, with an emphasis on security, transparency, and deployment in sensitive environments.

The organisations plan to work jointly on the design, prototyping, and deployment of AI systems for federal agencies and other public sector bodies. The partnership combines Seekr's AI software with GDIT's systems integration capabilities and its role on large government programmes.

Agentic AI refers to software agents that can take actions across systems and workflows. Public sector buyers have been exploring these tools for administrative processes, intelligence analysis, and security operations, but procurement teams have raised concerns about audit trails, data control, and the risk of automated decisions in regulated settings.

Seekr's SeekrFlow Enterprise AI Platform sits at the centre of the collaboration. It combines model hosting and fine-tuning with tools to orchestrate multiple AI agents and monitor them over their lifecycle. The platform also includes observability features that record how outputs were produced.

Deployment options include cloud, on-premises, and edge environments. The platform can also run in air-gapped and disconnected settings, which are common in defence and tactical operations.

Platform focus

SeekrFlow packages several stages of AI deployment into one platform, in contrast with architectures that use separate products for model management, security controls, and operational monitoring. Integrated deployment can reduce the number of components teams must maintain, but it can also increase reliance on a single supplier for key parts of the stack.

Governance features are central to Seekr's positioning in government. SeekrFlow includes explainability and policy controls, along with auditability functions designed to show how outputs were generated. These controls are increasingly important as agencies move beyond pilots and face internal oversight, security assessments, and compliance checks.

Seekr says SeekrFlow has been deployed across components of the US Army, the US Navy, and other defence organisations. It is also listed as awardable through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace, a procurement channel used by parts of the US Department of Defence.

GDIT, part of General Dynamics, delivers IT services and systems integration for government customers. Its programmes span defence and civilian agencies, including mission systems and enterprise technology modernisation.

Use cases

The collaboration will focus on use cases across federal civilian, defence, and state and local government organisations. An initial list includes AI agents for case management workflows, fraud and risk detection, and analysis of large volumes of structured and unstructured data held across different systems.

These are areas where agencies often face fragmented data estates and complex approval chains. Agents that can search, summarise, and flag actions may shorten cycle times for staff, though adoption often depends on how well tools integrate with existing workflows and how agencies constrain automated actions.

Security operations are another area of work. Seekr will participate in GDIT's ecosystem of Digital Accelerators and Centres of Excellence, which GDIT uses to develop repeatable technology patterns with internal teams and customers.

As part of that participation, Seekr plans work tied to a future security operations centre concept, integrating autonomous and adaptive AI functions with GDIT's Eclipse and Luna AI Digital Accelerators. The stated goal is improved threat detection and faster response, alongside an overall uplift in cybersecurity posture.

Trust and compliance

The collaboration places significant weight on trusted deployment. Agencies are under pressure to adopt AI while managing risks related to sensitive data and accountability for decisions. This has pushed vendors to add controls, monitoring, and governance features, and to offer deployment models that keep data inside existing infrastructure.

Seekr's platform is designed to maintain control over sensitive data while providing transparency and traceability of AI outputs, aiming to fit agencies operating under strict regulatory frameworks and security policies.

Rob Clark, President of Seekr, described the collaboration as a shift towards operational use rather than experimentation.

"Our collaboration with GDIT brings secure, transparent, and mission-ready AI to the heart of government operations," said Clark. "By combining Seekr's agentic AI capabilities with GDIT's proven leadership in federal mission delivery, we are enabling agencies to move faster, operate smarter, and achieve outcomes once thought impossible. This is about delivering real-world impact, not just technology innovation."

Ben Gianni, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at GDIT, said agencies face increasing mission complexity and need emerging technologies that meet trust requirements.

"Federal agencies need cutting-edge emerging technology capabilities to keep pace with the growing complexity of today's missions," said Gianni. "Our collaboration with Seekr strengthens our ability to deliver differentiated, agentic AI solutions that empower our customers to advance their missions faster, smarter, and more securely, while maintaining the highest standards of trust and compliance."

The collaboration will focus on moving AI from prototypes into operational deployments across government organisations, with additional work expected through GDIT's accelerators and centres of excellence.
