New York-based CB Insights, a leading provider of predictive market intelligence, introduced its Team of Agents, starting with 11 specialized AI agents. These agents are engineered to continuously uncover insights, translate proprietary data into actionable intelligence, and accelerate decision-making by providing an external intelligence layer critical for functions such as business development, investments, partnerships, go-to-market strategies, and competitive intelligence.Unlike generic AI assistants that may struggle with business context or reliable external data, CB Insights’ Team of Agents delivers validated intelligence and data science. This is derived from information on over 10 million companies and 1,500 technology markets, facilitated by purpose-built specialists who understand the nuanced requirements of strategic business functions. Enterprise clients are already leveraging the Team of Agents to streamline workflows and accelerate decision-making across research, diligence, and briefings, reportedly saving months of work. Bethany Boutin, Business & Market Intelligence Lead: Commercial Solutions + Digital at Evernorth Health Services, a subsidiary of The Cigna Group, stated, “The Scouting Report Agent is amazing – it’s a huge time saver and lets us respond quickly with enough insight to get back to a client or be dangerous with.”Manlio Carrelli, CEO of CB Insights, emphasized the specialized nature of the new offering. “Most AI agents today are generalists trying to do everything – but when it comes to strategic decisions, you need specialists who understand your business context and have access to reliable external intelligence,” Carrelli said. “Our Team of Agents represents the evolution from generic AI assistants to purpose-built intelligence operatives. They work around the clock on your behalf, each one an expert in their domain, all powered by our double-verified Business Graph and data science on the world’s companies and markets – insights and data that are not available on ChatGPT, the Internet, or in any other agent.”While most enterprise strategic decisions necessitate external market intelligence regarding competitors, markets, and potential partners, existing AI tools often lack the specialized context and validated data required for high-stakes business decisions. CB Insights’ growing Team of Agents addresses this gap, with an initial suite of 11 specialized agents including: Acquisition Hunter (identifies strategic acquisition targets); Business Relationship Analyst (maps customer, vendor, and partner relationships); ChatCBI (AI-to-AI interface for integrating intelligence); Commercial Due Diligence Accelerator (reduces diligence timelines); Competitive Sentinel (monitors competitor activities); Deep Analyst (generates comprehensive research reports); Earnings Analyst (delivers competitive intelligence after earnings calls); Partner and New Business Finder (detects partnership and sales opportunities); Personal Briefing (surfaces personalized growth opportunities and competitive threats); Sales Account Planner (accelerates rep ramp-up with account understanding); and Scouting Report (generates analyst-grade SWOT analyses on private companies). Clients can also create custom agents with Microsoft Copilot, MCP, and soon directly within ChatCBI.The Team of Agents operates on CB Insights’ proprietary Business Graph, a continuously validated dataset built through patented data science. This graph covers management teams, funding rounds, partnerships, deals, earnings calls, hiring patterns, and patents across global business activity. Carrelli highlighted the importance of data quality, stating, “The quality of AI output depends entirely on the quality of data input. Our agents don’t just scrape the web – they work with double-verified intelligence based on proprietary information collected from companies and their customers directly, unique datasets like their commercial relationships, and proprietary data science that scores future potential. This means when our Competitive Sentinel tells you a rival is planning a major acquisition, or when our Acquisition Hunter identifies a strategic target, you can make decisions with confidence.”Designed for enterprise integration, the Team of Agents functions across various platforms where strategic work occurs. This includes native integration with CB Insights’ Strategy Terminal, Microsoft 365 Copilot integration, Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatibility for any MCP-compatible AI agent, and API/custom solutions for embedding intelligence into enterprise applications. CB Insights also offers forward-deployed strategists to assist clients in automating research and strategy flows with custom agents. “We’re not asking enterprises to change how they work – we’re making their existing workflows dramatically more intelligent,” Carrelli added. “Whether you’re in Excel building a market model, in PowerPoint preparing for a board meeting, or doing deep work inside the CB Insights terminal, our agents provide the external intelligence you need exactly when and where you need it.”CB Insights’ Team of Agents is immediately available to enterprise customers, offering flexible deployment options for individual use cases or comprehensive market intelligence automation.
