Intelligent Company Search
The problem
Existing company databases handed users millions of records and complex filters instead of answers. An investor, salesperson, or business-development lead had to sift through results manually — cross-checking company sites, LinkedIn profiles, funding history, and news one by one.
The process turned into research projects lasting days, produced static reports that went stale almost immediately, reduced real intent down to rigid filters (excluding good-fit companies in the process), and returned scores no one could defend or explain. What the client needed wasn't more records — it was reliable, explainable company recommendations they could justify in a decision meeting.
What we built
Coyotiv built an agentic company-search platform where users ask questions in plain language and get a reasoned result for every company. Instead of translating a query into rigid, brittle filters, the system analyzes it semantically — first measuring the real distribution of industries, regions, and company sizes in the dataset so every query is calibrated against the actual data. For each company, it produces not just a score but a summary, strengths, risks, and an explainable verdict, streaming results as they're ready and treating follow-up questions as a continuation of the same research thread.
Prompts were managed through Raison and tested like software code. Langfuse tracked agent behavior and production outputs.
Who it's for
- Venture capital and investment teams
- Deal-sourcing and market-research teams
- B2B sales and business-development professionals
- Strategic partnership teams
- Companies researching suppliers or partners
- Leaders evaluating new market opportunities
The outcome
The platform turned company discovery from a filter-driven data scan into an answer-first, conversational research process. Users built defensible shortlists in minutes instead of days, got explainable assessments they could bring straight into a decision meeting instead of opaque scores, and rolled out new use cases on the same infrastructure without building a separate product.
