CB Insights

Ask CB Insights' AI chatbot (ChatCBI) a question and receive a conversational, natural-language answer grounded in CB Insights data. Returns a formatted response with source citations, related content links, and suggested follow-up questions. Supports multi-turn conversations by passing the returned 'chatID' back in subsequent requests. Use this when the user wants a synthesized, human-readable answer rather than raw structured data. This tool takes longer than the RAG tool - if you're going to generate your own answer anyway, consider using the RAG tool instead.

Retrieve structured data from CB Insights in response to a natural-language query. Returns raw data objects spanning companies, deals, funding, markets, research, earnings call insights, business relationships, hiring trends, key developments, and more. Use this when you need factual, structured CB Insights data to analyze or reference — not when you need a conversational answer. The response includes a 'data' field with JSON-encoded results keyed by data source (e.g. companySearch, dealSearch, cbiResearch, markets) and a 'guidance' field describing what each source contains.

Search for companies using natural language. Automatically extracts keyword, industry, market, and attribute filters from the query, crosses them into search combinations, and executes the search.

Returns JSON with search_id, search_url, total_results, filter_summary, and companies.
