Olivia Trivisani Bowker founded Amivero in 2018 to deliver innovative solutions to federal agencies through a transformative approach that sets the company apart in the federal technology space. She refers to this unique approach as the “human-centered, data-driven (HCDD) methodology,” developed from her extensive experience delivering IT initiatives to federal agencies since 2006.
At the heart of this methodology is the belief that technical excellence alone is not enough—true innovation requires a deep understanding of both human needs and data insights. Amivero begins every federal engagement by comprehensively analyzing the human element: interviewing users, mapping workflows, and identifying pain points. This qualitative insight is then combined with rigorous data analysis to design solutions that genuinely enhance federal operations.
“This methodology has established us as a leader in having advanced technologies like AI and automation onboarded within complex federal environments,” says Olivia, Founder and CEO of Amivero. More importantly, customers achieve high user adoption rates because the solutions were designed with a deep understanding of how federal employees actually work. “Amivero bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical government needs, always keeping the human element at the forefront while letting data guide our decisions,” she adds.

HCDD Accelerates AI and Automation Adoption in Federal Agencies
Amivero accelerates technology adoption through its Aiuto™ Framework, developed with HCDD underpinnings. It provides a structured yet flexible approach to readying an environment for the ability to leverage AI solutions.
Amivero begins with straightforward automation of data intake and processing before advancing to more sophisticated AI applications. This approach delivers immediate value while building confidence in new technologies. For example, the company helped one federal agency automate scenario-based modeling for fuel cost, employee and contractor labor, and travel. The automation lowered the amount offices would over/under budget from 15% to 5% and reduced response time from one month to one day.
“Our solutions are built with federal security requirements in mind from the start,” states Mike McKinney, CTO of Amivero. The company leverages secure government cloud environments and implements rigorous data protection measures, ensuring compliance while enabling innovation. This includes utilizing approved government cloud platforms with appropriate security controls and certifications.
Rather than replacing legacy systems, Amivero creates solutions that enhance existing infrastructure. “Our technical teams expertly bridge new AI capabilities with established systems, minimizing disruption while maximizing impact,” explains McKinney.
Aiuto™ Framework’s human-in-the-loop methodology ensures accuracy and transparency in AI readiness. For example, the company’s legal analysis solutions implement Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities that provide clear reference trails for all GenAI content, allowing users to verify sources and maintain confidence in the system’s outputs. “Our pragmatic enablement, security-first design, integration expertise, and risk management strategies enable successful adoption of AI solutions,” says McKinney.
Aiuto™ Framework: Transforming Federal Agency Operations with AI and Automation
Amivero has developed a range of AI and automation solutions using its Aiuto™ Framework to help federal agencies overcome challenges related to resource optimization, data processing, and knowledge management.
Many federal agencies struggle with overwhelming workloads and limited staff resources. Amivero’s AI solutions help automate routine tasks and accelerate complex processes. For example, in one federal agency, just by building an automation solution for a daily data compilation process, Amivero reduced the time from three hours to three minutes – a 98% improvement in efficiency.
Federal agencies also often grapple with vast amounts of data across disparate systems. Amivero’s solutions integrate advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) with sophisticated RAG capabilities to process, analyze, and derive insights from this data quickly and accurately.
Maintaining and leveraging institutional knowledge is another critical need for federal agencies. Amivero’s AI solutions help by creating intelligent systems that can access, analyze, and apply historical data and precedents while maintaining strict security and accuracy standards.
Amivero has also developed AI-powered training systems that provide adaptive, personalized learning experiences for federal employees. These systems fuse LLMs to simulate real-world scenarios, enabling staff to practice complex decision-making in safe, controlled environments. The LLMs are continually fed case studies to ensure real, up-to-date scenarios.
Additionally, Amivero provides advanced forecasting tools that leverage predictive analytics to optimize resource allocation and workforce management for federal agencies. These tools enable “what-if” scenario planning and data-driven decision-making for staffing and budget allocation.
Finally, Amivero has deployed solutions to automate the analysis of complex documents, significantly reducing processing time without compromising accuracy. These systems can identify relevant information, compare documents for similarities, and generate comprehensive summaries with proper citations.

“Unlike traditional contractors, we bring deep technical expertise in advanced AI technologies,” states McKinney. The company understands the nuances of LLM-based solutions, enabling it to build solutions that are both sophisticated and practical. Amivero’s technical teams can customize these technologies to meet specific agency needs while maintaining security and compliance.
Additionally, Amivero’s teams have extensive experience in federal operations, enabling them to align technical solutions with mission requirements effectively. This combination of technical excellence and mission-driven insight ensures that the solutions Amivero delivers truly enhance government operations.
In one standout success story, a federal agency faced immense challenges processing large volumes of complex documentation. The staff was spending significant time manually reviewing and analyzing documents, which resulted in processing backlogs and delayed response times.
Amivero rolled out an AI-powered solution that automated document analysis and comparison enabled rapid identification of relevant information and generated comprehensive summaries with verifiable sources ― all seamlessly integrated with existing workflows and systems. The results were transformative: not only was the processing time reduced by 60% (from 140 days to just 56 days ― saving over 10,000 staff hours in 2024 alone). The solution improved the accuracy and consistency of analysis and freed staff to focus on higher-value strategic tasks.
Success stories like these contribute to Amivero’s extensive roster of clients, which includes prominent federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and General Services Administration (GSA), and specific DHS components like ICE, CBP, and USCIS.
