Part 1: What is GigEagle? A whole of nation approach to collaboration using AI, digital networks, and agentic teaming.
GigEagle uses a LinkedIn style skills-based repository on the supply side and Uber like marketplace on the demand side to “make an instant call and find that talent to get that response”. The result, is hundreds of candidates in hours solving the toughest challenges, along with a search function to find the skills and people you need rather than always fishing (literally, throwing the rod; or job description, and waiting for a fish).
“So, this is bold. This is big and bold. What we’re talking about here is whole of nation collaboration for national security.
What if I said there’s a new operational threat that occurs, and we’ve never seen this before. How do we this?”
“It’s different than ever before. Our job is to keep the nation safe. And that requires a high degree of competence at all times and staying current with the latest. And so what we’ve done here in GigEagle is designed DODs, the Department of Defense’s first AI-driven platform to match people to mission at speed. It’s never been done before in this specific way. And we’re breaking down a ton of stovepipes.
Think of it in some ways as a mashup of Uber and LinkedIn, right? That’s a way for national security concerns. So what you have on the LinkedIn side is a skills-based repository with a level of granularity that we didn’t have before. And then you take the marketplace that is Uber, the ability to make an instant call and find that talent to get that response. That’s awesome. And again, what I love about this is this isn’t some grand invention that came out of the military internally, this is applying and leveraging the best of commercial technology and then actually bringing in a few together and taking an orthogonal approach. And in a use case, that is national security. So I’m going to hold off on getting into the details on the aspirations, but that’s all this really is, is a different way to think about identifying and engaging talent.
And I think that it’s been more important than ever that we get it right. And so it’s a new approach that we’re finding very effective in Gig Eagle.”
I want to introduce you to a concept that I call agentic teaming.
So you’re probably familiar, you know, this is the agentic era we’re in right now, which is the use of artificial intelligence to really act as an agent to allow you to do so much more. But what if we use that power for teaming? And so where we’re going with this, and this this to me is incredibly exciting, is now instead of saying, I want to match one to one for somebody, it’s not just a jobs board. What we’re building here is the ability to solve a problem. I don’t care if that’s one person or if that’s an entire team of people.
Because what I can do now with the use of artificial intelligence is say, okay, Meredith has updated all of her skills so I can see everything that makes her who she is and all those skills she’s developed over course of a career. And then I can see Paul, Paul has a whole different set of skills, but together, right, one plus one is three. And so I can understand that the capabilities from one person coupled with others can give me something that is incredibly new in a novel.
And when you put together, that is the concept of agentic teaming. All I put in is the end user. This is the problem I’m trying to solve. And then through GigEagle, eventually, you will be able to go and identify the skill sets that are necessary, understand how they come together. Perhaps, ideally, I think we’re going to be getting there too, is you add in the effective demeanor. So, hey, Paul, you’ve taken a test when you joined the military to say, just give me some help me understand who you are as a person it takes into consideration. it’s not just cognitive, but it’s social emotional as well, because there’s a teaming concept. And then you can literally say, these are the components of what Mike asked for as a deliverable. And some of them can be done, can shoot out, get people to sign up, and they can provide components of that. If it’s a deliverable, if it’s, know, maybe sometimes it’s in person, sometimes it’s not, maybe to document, maybe to briefing, maybe say I need you to drive a truck. It doesn’t really matter.
The point is you have the flexibility to create entire teams of that can generate outputs and bring that back to the user in one fell swoop. So, I mean, it’s just the way you think about operations changes completely through the concept of agentic teaming.
