Company Researcher

Builds in-depth company profiles by researching publicly available information across the web. Covers products and services, business model, leadership team, market position, financial performance, and recent developments. Delivers a structured due diligence report with competitive analysis and source citations.

Core Capabilities

• Executive team and board member identification
• Revenue, growth, and profitability analysis from public filings
• Competitive landscape and market positioning
• Recent news, partnerships, and strategic initiatives
• Structured report with source citations

Good Query Examples

• Name: Rivian | URL: rivian.com | Industry: Electric Vehicles / Automotive | Headquarter Location: Irvine, USA
• Name: Novo Nordisk | URL: novonordisk.com | Industry: Pharmaceuticals | Headquarter Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
• Name: Stripe | URL: stripe.com | Industry: Fintech / Payments | Headquarter Location: San Francisco, USA
• Name: Zalando | URL: zalando.de | Industry: E-commerce / Fashion | Headquarter Location: Berlin, Germany

Bad Query Examples

• Name: "XYZ Consulting Ltd" (a 3-person local firm) → very small or obscure private companies may have too little public information for a meaningful report. Fix: check if the company has enough public presence first
• Name: "Siemens" with the question "What's their current stock price?" → this agent produces qualitative business profiles, not real-time financial data. Fix: use a financial data platform for live pricing
• Entering "Tesla, Rivian, Lucid" in the Name field → this agent profiles one company at a time. Fix: run separate profiles and compare the results yourself
• Leaving URL or Industry blank → all four fields are required. The agent uses the URL, industry, and location to focus and verify its research

Use-Case Ideas

• Pre-meeting preparation on potential clients or partners
• Competitive intelligence on new market entrants
• Due diligence for business development or vendor evaluation
• Understanding a company's strategic direction before pitching

Limitations

• One company per research request (no side-by-side comparisons)
• Limited to publicly available web content — private companies may have sparse results
• Financial data may not reflect the latest quarter (depends on public reporting cycles)
• Cannot access proprietary databases, paid research platforms, or internal company data
• No financial modeling, valuation analysis, or investment recommendations

Input/Output Spec

• Input: Name — company name, e.g., "Rivian" (required); URL — company website, e.g., "rivian.com" (required); Industry — business sector, e.g., "Technology, Healthcare, Finance" (required); Headquarter Location — city and country, e.g., "Berlin, Germany" (required)
• Output: Structured markdown report with executive summary, company overview, products and services, leadership team, market analysis, financial performance, recent news, strategic outlook, and source citations.

Disambiguation Signals

This agent builds qualitative business profiles on specific companies using public web sources. It requires an actual company name.

• Route to Statista when: the query asks for market size, industry statistics, or quantitative data across companies (e.g., "What's the market size for electric vehicles in Europe?")
• Route to GWI Spark when: the query asks about consumer attitudes, audience demographics, or brand perception (e.g., "What do millennials think about Tesla?")
• Route to News Research when: the query only needs recent news coverage, not a full company profile (e.g., "What's been in the news about OpenAI this week?")
• Route to LinkedIn Analysis when: the query asks specifically about a company's LinkedIn presence, content strategy, or employee engagement (e.g., "How is Salesforce performing on LinkedIn?")
• Route to Advanced Web Research when: the query is about a broad topic, trend, or industry rather than a specific company (e.g., "Research the state of AI regulation in the EU")
