Company Research Analyst AI Agent

This is a submission for the AI Agents Challenge powered by n8n and Bright Data

What I Built

I built Company Research Analyst, an AI-powered research agent that takes a company’s domain name as input and generates a structured, comprehensive research report. The agent automates the tedious process of gathering company insights from multiple trusted sources like LinkedIn, Crunchbase, PitchBook, and Google News.

This tool is designed for analysts, investors, and business developers who need quick, credible, and actionable company intelligence without spending hours across multiple platforms.

Technical Implementation

The workflow is powered by n8n + LangChain and orchestrates multiple research tools into a single AI agent.

• System Instructions: Configured the agent as a Company Research Specialist with a clear task breakdown: overview, products, market presence, key personnel, financials, tech stack, news, and competitors.
• Model Choice: Google Gemini (flash-lite) for reliable, low-latency reasoning with a temperature of 0.2 for concise, fact-driven outputs.
• Memory: Implemented a Buffer Window Memory node for short-term context (25 message window).
• Tools Integrated:
  • Social Profiles Extractor (auto-discovers LinkedIn, Crunchbase, PitchBook URLs).
  • LinkedIn Company Scraper (company overview, size, founders, updates).
  • PitchBook Scraper (funding, valuations, M&A).
  • Crunchbase Scraper (funding rounds, key personnel, competitors).
  • Google News Search (latest articles and coverage).

Bright Data Verified Node

The Bright Data node is integrated to ensure verified, up-to-date, and high-quality data is retrieved across different company data sources, boosting the reliability of the final research report.

Journey

The biggest challenge was synthesizing fragmented data across multiple platforms into one cohesive report. Using n8n’s modular workflow design, I chained scrapers and search utilities while keeping the agent’s reasoning focused with structured system prompts.

I learned how powerful n8n can be when combined with LLMs and external data sources—it’s possible to automate what traditionally required hours of manual research. This agent can be extended for VC due diligence, competitor benchmarking, or sales prospecting use cases.
