Most company research tools are databases: you get whatever somebody typed into a record months ago, behind a login. This is an agent. It goes and looks, right now, and shows you every source it read on the way: true: researched recently, answered instantlyfalsebrief saved for 7 dayscompany inputname or websiteIFcache checkresearched in last 7d?identity-agentpublic recordsite-agenttheir websitesignals-agentnews & fundingprofile-agent100-pt scorecardrival-agentcompetitor benchmarklead-analystfinal briefresearch briefsnapshot · signals · anglesRDAP · WikipediaSEC EDGAR + XBRLsite · sitemaplive job boardweb search ×6Hacker NewsAIAI model3 rival sites\+ their job boardsAIAI modelresults cache Swipe the diagram sideways to follow the full flow. The actual pipeline behind every brief. Dashed wires are the tools and data each node pulls in. ## Where The Facts Come From. Eight public sources, none of them a paid database, and every one of them named in your report. Two of them are the ones most tools miss: an exact count of who a company is paying to hire, and their own sitemap, which says exactly how much of them exists online and when they last shipped a page. ### The domain registry RDAP When the company first registered its domain, straight from the registry. A five-year-old domain and a five-week-old one are very different companies making the same claims. ### SEC EDGAR data.sec.gov Whether they are a US-listed public company, their ticker and exchange, their official industry classification, headquarters and their most recent 8-K, 10-K and S-1 filings. ### Reported financials SEC XBRL For public filers, the actual revenue, net income and total assets they reported, by fiscal year, with growth and margin calculated from them. Exact figures from the filings, not an analyst's estimate. ### Sitemap & robots.txt Their own files How many pages they publish, when they last shipped one, how much of it is blog and newsroom content, and which AI crawlers they block. The clearest free read on digital visibility there is. ### Their own website Live crawl Homepage, about, pricing, careers, customers and newsroom, read in order. Real pricing tiers beat a database's guess at a business model every time. ### Their live job board Greenhouse · Lever · Ashby Every open role, with title, team and location, pulled from the public job-board API. This turns 'they seem to be growing' into an exact count of who they are paying to hire. ### Recent news & funding Live web search Up to five targeted searches for funding rounds, launches, leadership changes and layoffs in the last 18 months, each finding dated and sourced. ### Developer community Hacker News How a technical audience actually talks about them, when they do. Silence is a signal too, and it is one no vendor page will ever tell you. ## What The Signal Score Measures. Every brief carries a 100-point score across six weighted dimensions, and the full breakdown with the reasoning behind each number. It reads how active a company is right now, not how good it is: a profitable, quiet 20-person business can score low and still be an excellent company. ### Momentum 20 What is happening right now: recent funding, how many roles are open and in which teams, product launches, expansion, news velocity. Heavy engineering or sales hiring is the strongest single signal a company is growing. ### Brand visibility 20 How well known they actually are: which outlets have covered them and at what tier, where they appear on review platforms and how they are rated, whether a community discusses them unprompted, and what they are known for. ### Digital visibility 20 Their footprint online: how many pages their sitemap publishes, how recently and how often they ship new ones, technical SEO health, whether they block AI crawlers, and the sophistication of the stack detected on their pages. ### Financial health 20 For public filers, the reported revenue, growth, margin and assets read straight from their SEC filings. For private companies, funding raised, last round and investor quality, plus the pricing power visible on their own pricing page. ### Market position 10 How clearly the company owns a category, how it differs from named competitors, and whether that difference is defensible. Vague positioning scores low, because vague positioning is a real weakness. ### Stability & risk 10 Durability: runway signals, leadership continuity, layoffs, legal or regulatory exposure, customer concentration, and how long the business has actually been operating. Alongside the score, each brief gets a momentum verdict, HOT, GROWING, STEADY, QUIET or AT RISK, taken from the whole picture rather than the score alone, plus an explicit list of what the agents could not verify. ## Company Research FAQ ### What does the AI company research agent actually do? You type a company name or website. Five agents then work in sequence: one confirms who the company is from the public record (domain registry, Wikipedia, SEC EDGAR and their reported XBRL financials), one reads their actual website, sitemap and job board, one searches the web for recent funding, news and brand coverage, one builds a structured profile with a 100-point signal score, and one writes the final brief. It takes about 90 seconds and you watch every step. ### Is this company lookup tool really free? Yes, it's free. Your first report needs no sign-in; after that we ask for a name and email, no password, no credit card. You can run up to 6 company research reports per hour, and a company someone already looked up in the last week is served instantly from the saved report. ### Where does the company data come from? Eight public sources, none of them a paid database. The domain registry (RDAP) for how long they have existed online, Wikipedia for encyclopaedic facts, SEC EDGAR for whether they are publicly listed, SEC XBRL for their reported revenue, profit and assets, their own website for positioning and pricing, their sitemap and robots.txt for digital footprint, their live job board on Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby for real open roles, and Hacker News plus live web search for news, funding and brand coverage. ### Can it research small or private companies? That is what it is built for, and it is the normal case: most companies file nothing publicly. Databases like Crunchbase and ZoomInfo are thin under 50 people because nobody filled the record in. This agent reads the company's own website, pricing page and job board instead, so a 12-person startup gets the same treatment as a Fortune 500\. Where there are no filed accounts it shows the observable signals instead, real price points, plan structure, sales motion and open-role count, and says plainly that no revenue figure is public rather than inventing one. ### How is this different from Crunchbase, Owler or ZoomInfo? Those are databases: you get whatever someone entered, behind a login. This is an agent: it goes and looks, right now, and shows you what it read. It also merges jobs those tools split across products, funding news like Crunchbase, competitor news like Owler, tech stack like BuiltWith, hiring signals like LinkedIn, into one brief. ### What is the signal score out of 100? A read on the company's current state across six weighted dimensions: momentum (20 points, from funding, hiring and launches), brand visibility (20), digital visibility (20), financial health (20), market position (10) and stability and risk (10). It is a snapshot of activity and reach, not a quality judgement. A profitable, quiet 20-person business can score low and still be an excellent company. ### How accurate is AI company research? The verified layer is exact: registry dates, SEC filings and job-board counts are read straight from the source. The inferred layer, things like employee range or funding stage for a private company, is an informed estimate and the report marks it as one. Every report ends with a list of what could not be verified, so you know where to check before acting on it. ### Does it show company financials? For US-listed public companies, yes, and they are exact: revenue, net income and total assets are read straight from the XBRL data the company filed with the SEC, by fiscal year, with year-over-year growth and net margin calculated from them. For private companies there is no filing to read, so the report gives funding raised, last round and investors where research found them, and says plainly that private financials are not disclosed rather than estimating a revenue figure. ### How does it measure brand visibility? By looking for evidence that people outside the company talk about it: which outlets have covered them and at what tier (national press, trade press, niche blogs, or nothing), whether they appear on review platforms like G2, Trustpilot or Capterra and how they are rated, whether a technical community discusses them on Hacker News unprompted, and whether they are notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Thin coverage is reported as thin coverage, which is itself a useful finding. ### What is the digital visibility check? A read on how much of the company actually exists online, taken from files their own site already serves. Their sitemap gives the number of published pages, how many are blog or newsroom content, when a page was last shipped and how many changed in the last 90 days. Their robots.txt says which AI crawlers they block. Their homepage markup gives a technical SEO check: title, meta description, canonical, Open Graph, structured data and heading structure. Together that separates a company with a real content operation from one with a brochure site nobody has touched in two years. ### Can I use this for competitor research? Yes, and it is built for it. After profiling the company the agent identifies their closest competitors and then benchmarks up to three of them on exactly the same live measures: how long each domain has existed, how many roles each has open on its public job board, how many pages each publishes and when each last shipped one. You get a side-by-side table showing who is actually hiring and publishing hardest, not just a list of names. Every figure is fetched live from each company's own site, so it is current rather than whatever a database recorded months ago. ### Can I use this for sales prospecting or before a meeting? Yes, that is the main use. The brief ends with three specific angles for approaching the company, each tied to a real finding rather than a generic opener. It works just as well before an investor call, a partnership conversation, a competitor review or a job interview. ## Try The Other Agents.
