Business Intelligence

The Companies API, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your The Companies API account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

  • 10 ready-made tools
  • Asked in Slack or Teams

What The Companies API is

Search, enrich, and analyze company data, technologies, locations, lists, and related business intelligence.

You paste in a key from your own The Companies API account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside The Companies API whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in The Companies API.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in The Companies API. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own The Companies API account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

10 tools it already has

What it can do in The Companies API

These are the ready-made tools your AI employee already has in The Companies API. It is not limited to them, but it never has to be taught these.

  • Create ListCreate an empty static company list with email notifications disabled.
  • Delete ListPermanently delete a company list by ID and return the deleted list record.
  • Enrich Job TitleNormalize a job title and infer its department and seniority classification.
  • Get Account ContextReturn the connected user, current team, subscription state, and remaining credit balance.
  • Get CompanyReturn the cached company profile for an exact domain, optionally in a compact form; this tool does not force a paid refresh.
  • List Companies In ListReturn one page of companies currently contained in a specified company list.
  • List ListsReturn one page of company lists owned by the connected account.
  • Rename ListRename an existing company list without changing its query, synchronization, or notification settings.
  • Search CompaniesSearch the company database with text or structured segmentation conditions and return one page of matching company profiles.
  • Search TaxonomySearch provider taxonomy values for industries, technologies, or geographic levels and return normalized identifiers for company filters.
Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your The Companies API account.

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.

How we handle your data
  • It signs in to your own The Companies API account. You are not moving anything into ours.
  • You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
  • Everything it does in The Companies API is written down, with what it did and when.
  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in The Companies API and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

Questions people ask about The Companies API

Can an AI employee really work inside The Companies API?
Yes. It signs in to your own The Companies API account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.
Do I have to move anything out of The Companies API?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in The Companies API, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
How does it get into my The Companies API account?
You paste in a key from your own The Companies API account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside The Companies API whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
What can it actually do in The Companies API?
It has 10 ready-made tools in The Companies API today, among them Create List, Delete List and Enrich Job Title. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use The Companies API and the rest of my software in the same job?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in The Companies API and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
Who decides what it is allowed to do in The Companies API?
You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in The Companies API is written down with what it did and when.
