The problem this solves
The moments when you most want to know about a company are the moments you are furthest from a laptop: walking into a meeting, reading an email on a train, hearing a name at a dinner. A phone can run a search, and a search returns a website, and a website does not say how big the company is, what it runs or what happened to it last month. The compressed read - five lines that answer the questions that matter - is what a phone should return.
Telegram is a good place for this because it is fast, it is already on the phone, and a bot in it can be messaged like a colleague. 'check acme.com' produces the read in under a minute; the full profile, too long for a phone, is saved to Notion under Accounts for when you are back at a desk. The Company Intelligence Agent does the work; the phone only carries the question and the answer.
How the mission runs
- Receive the command. The Company Intelligence Agent watches your Telegram bot for messages of the form 'check <company.com>' or a company name, resolves the company, and acknowledges within seconds so you know it is working.
- Build the compressed read. Firmographics supply what the company does, headcount, HQ and growth; technographics the stack in the categories you care about; funding and news data the recent moves - a round, a leadership change, an announcement - each reduced to a line short enough for a phone screen.
- Reply in Telegram. The read is sent as one message - five to seven lines - within a minute, with a note if any part could not be found, and the thread stays open for follow-ups such as 'who runs marketing there?' answered in the same chat.
- Save the full profile to Notion. The full profile - the read plus the leadership team, open roles, the detailed stack, funding history and news with links - is written to a Notion page under Accounts, and the Telegram reply ends with the link.
The prompt
This is the exact objective the agent receives. Swap the obvious placeholders for your own domain, segment or channel and run it as-is from the console, Slack, or the API.
What comes back
A Telegram reply within a minute of 'check <company.com>' with the compressed read - what the company does, size, HQ, the relevant stack and its recent moves - and a full profile page in Notion under Accounts with leadership, open roles, detailed stack, funding history and news, linked from the reply. Follow-up questions in the chat are answered with the company still in context.
Make it yours
- Run the same bot on WhatsApp or as a Slack DM.
- Add the likely buyer with a verified email to the read for a sales-first version.
- Save the profile to Google Docs or HubSpot instead of Notion.
- Ask 'compare acme.com and globex.com' for a side-by-side read of two companies.
Frequently asked questions
What if I send a company name rather than a domain?
The agent resolves the name to a domain and confirms which company it chose in the first line of the reply, so an ambiguous name never produces a silent wrong answer.
Is the reply really under a minute?
For the compressed read, usually; the Notion profile follows within a few minutes and the link is sent when it is ready.
Who can use the bot?
The Telegram accounts you authorize in the workspace; each request is metered to the workspace and logged with who asked.
Can I ask for the people as a follow-up?
Yes. Reply 'who runs sales there?' and the agent answers in the chat with the person, their title and a verified email where one can be found, and adds them to the Notion profile.
