CB Insights, the provider of predictive market intelligence, has announced the launch of its Team of Agents – an AI agent workforce designed specifically to enable business leaders with always-on market intelligence for strategic decision-making.
CB Insights’ initial team of 11 agents works continuously to uncover insights, translate proprietary data into practical outputs, and support informed decisions by providing the external intelligence layer enterprises need to stay competitive across business development, investments, partnerships, GTM, and competitive analysis.
While generic AI assistants struggle with business context and lack reliable external data, CB Insights’ Team of Agents delivers validated intelligence and data science on over 10 million companies and 1,500 tech markets through specialised agents built to address the specific needs of strategic business functions.
Enterprise clients are already hiring CB Insights’ Team of Agents to streamline their workflows and accelerate decision-making across research, diligence, briefings, and more, saving months of work.
“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,” said Bethany Boutin, Business & Market Intelligence Lead: Commercial Solutions + Digital at Evernorth Health Services, a subsidiary of The Cigna Group.
Manlio Carrelli, CEO of CB Insights, said, “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.”
“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 rely on external market intelligence about competitors, markets, and potential partners, many existing AI tools lack the specialised context and validated data needed for high-stakes business decisions.
CB Insights’ growing Team of Agents addresses this gap, starting with 11 agents that deliver:
- Acquisition Hunter: Identifies strategic acquisition targets and early-stage disruptors before competitors notice them.
- Business Relationship Analyst: Maps customer, vendor, and partner relationships to reveal strategic insights.
- ChatCBI: Serves as an AI-to-AI interface, allowing enterprises to integrate CB Insights intelligence directly into their existing AI workflows.
- Commercial Due Diligence Accelerator: Reduces due diligence timelines from weeks to hours with automated expert interviews and risk assessments.
- Competitive Sentinel: Monitors what competitors are buying, building, and investing in before it appears in financials.
- Deep Analyst: Generates comprehensive research reports and market analyses in hours instead of weeks.
- Earnings Analyst: Delivers CEO-ready competitive intelligence within hours of earnings calls.
- Partner and New Business Finder: Detects high-value partnership and sales opportunities using funding and competitive signals.
- Personal Briefing: Scours global news to surface personalised growth opportunities and competitive threats.
- Sales Account Planner: Accelerates rep ramp-up with deep account understanding and tailored pitch strategies.
- Scouting Report: Generates analyst-grade SWOT analyses on any private company on command.
The agents listed are not exhaustive, and CB Insights’ clients can create their own with Microsoft Copilot, MCP, and soon directly in ChatCBI.
Unlike AI agents that rely on public web data or limited datasets, CB Insights’ Team of Agents operates on the proprietary Business Graph – a continuously validated dataset with patented data science covering management teams, funding rounds, partnerships, deals, earnings calls, hiring patterns, patents, and more across global business activity.
“The quality of AI output depends entirely on the quality of data input,” said Manlio Carrelli.
“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.”
