Where a person stepped in
No human approval checkpoint is described.
Pratik Dani built Company Research Analyst for gathering fragmented company information into a structured report. Its starting input is a domain name. The agent discovers related profiles and combines information from LinkedIn, Crunchbase, PitchBook and Google News instead of leaving the reader to visit each source separately.
Dani configured the AI Agent as a company-research specialist with an explicit outline: overview, products, market presence, key personnel, finances, technology, news and competitors. The implementation uses n8n and LangChain, Gemini reasoning and a short-term memory window. Separate scraper and search workflows are linked alongside a demonstration.
The author identifies synthesis as the difficult part: data from different platforms needed to become one coherent report. He kept the reasoning focused through structured instructions while chaining the retrieval utilities. The account documents the implemented research agent and its workflow artifacts. It does not describe a measured investment outcome, a verified completeness test or a human approval gate. Proposed extensions into due diligence and prospecting are future uses rather than demonstrated results.
