While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite.

Great question, here's what ChatGPT had to say... :)

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**: redacted 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. - [redacted](redacted) #### 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). - [redacted](redacted) --- ### 🛠️ **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”. ---
