}Overview
This endpoint converts your natural language business question into structured search criteria that our AI algorithms can use to discover relevant companies.Workflow Step: This is Step 1 of the Market Research
Workflow.
Usage
The endpoint accepts a simple search input and returns comprehensive search criteria including:- Market Classification: Type, role, and geographic scope
- Keyword Groups: Features, users, synonyms, and irrelevant terms
- Search Parameters: Count limits, project type, and constraints
Best Practices
Pro Tip: Be specific in your search input. Instead of “AI companies”, try “AI-powered transcription services for
enterprise healthcare customers.”
Important: The generated search criteria will be used in subsequent discovery steps. Take time to review and
potentially refine the criteria before proceeding to company discovery.
