I see there half a dozen companies house GPT's. can anyone recommend a particular one ? Or are there any of the other AIs with APi's ?

Great! Here are a few options depending on whether you're looking for **GPT integrations**, **APIs**, or **more advanced tools** to work with Companies House data. --- ### 🔍 **1. Companies House API (official)** If you're technical or have developers on your team: - **What it is**: The official UK government API for accessing all public company data. - **Use cases**: Get company financials, director info, filing history, etc. - **API docs**: https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk You can pair this with GPT (via code interpreter or custom tools) to: - Summarize company filings - Compare multiple companies - Flag unusual activity (like frequent director changes) --- ### 🤖 **2. GPT-based tools or plugins** If you're using **ChatGPT Plus with plugins** (or a custom GPT): - Look for GPTs that mention: - “Companies House” - “UK company data” - “Company lookup” or “Due diligence assistant” Some custom GPTs may: - Pull live data via the Companies House API - Summarize key facts from company filings - Rate creditworthiness or flag risks Unfortunately, OpenAI doesn’t have a search engine for public GPTs yet, so trial and error is common. You can also build your **own custom GPT** using the API + a prompt like: > “When I give you a UK company number, retrieve all public filings, summarize the key financials and flag any red flags.” I can help build this if you want. --- ### 🧠 **3. Other AI/data tools with APIs** These often offer richer data or better UX than Companies House itself: #### a. **FullCircl (formerly Artesian)** - Deep company intelligence for B2B, includes Companies House data. - Has an API. - Great for sales, compliance, and risk teams. - [https://www.fullcircl.com](https://www.fullcircl.com) #### b. **DueDil (now part of FullCircl)** - Similar to above. Combines CH data with other business intelligence. - Popular in finance and insurance. #### c. **OpenCorporates** - Largest open database of companies worldwide. - UK data is included (via Companies House). - [https://api.opencorporates.com](https://api.opencorporates.com) --- ### 🛠️ **4. No-code integrations** If you want to skip code: - Use **Zapier**, **Make (Integromat)**, or **Airtable** with Companies House + ChatGPT via API. - Combine tools like “new filing appears → summarize with GPT → send alert”. ---
