chromie.dev (YC S26) is an all-in-one business development, capture, and proposal platform that helps firms find, qualify, and win federal and state, local, and education (SLED) government contracts. Built on the founders' 'deterministic stack for web agents' - browser agents that pair LLM reasoning with the reliability of RPA - the platform continuously scrapes procurement portals, fit-scores opportunities, predicts recompetes before they hit the market, extracts buried requirements from RFPs and SOWs, and drafts compliant proposals, with every parsed field traced back to its source clause for audit and QA.
