Idea 11 · Agentic Desk, a working name
Give it a ticker. It sets analyst agents loose to research the company the way a desk would, scraping what the APIs never show, and shows its working and what it cost.
Its plan: score 2,400 customer reviews by quarter.
Its plan: track stock and delivery windows across sites.
Its plan: read the last six filings for guidance.
Thesis: the market prices Rivet as a fading label. The reviews describe a brand quietly winning its runners back.[1]
Review sentiment has climbed for five straight quarters, led by fit and durability.[2][3]
Management expects the new flagship to lift full-price sell-through this year.[4]
A scripted excerpt: a ticker goes in, the agents plan and scrape, the note assembles with its sources and a live cost.
Generic AI answers about a company are confident, shallow and unsourced.
The data that matters is not in the APIs: reviews, availability, footfall, what vendors and customers actually say.
A blank chat box is the wrong tool. You should not have to know the right question to get real research.
Real coverage is expensive, conflicted, and does not reach the long tail of companies.
Start with a ticker, or a private company (bonds and gilts later). That is the whole input, and you do not prompt.
They read what the company is (a consumer brand, so check the reviews; a grocer, so check footfall and vendors), scrape what the APIs do not have, and research on a budget you set.
Pre-canned moves, some priced by how much work they are (comparables, a deeper dive, a review sweep). The interface builds itself around what you are looking at.
Not a fixed dashboard, not a chat box. The same product arranges itself differently for the company in front of you. Pick one.
An illustration. Same product, a different desk for each company: reviews lead for a consumer brand, footfall and vendors lead for a grocer.
Disagreements are shown, not hidden. The checking layer is the differentiator.
What each claim is built on, how sure the desk is, and what it cost to produce. Auditable research, not vibes.
The desk is callable from where people already work.
The workflow mirrors a real desk, not a chatbot.
Usage-priced. You pay per research run and per premium move, on a budget you control, and you see the cost before you spend. Team seats on top.
No. Research with receipts, sources and confidence on every claim. Decisions stay yours.
You can, when you want to steer. By default it proposes the research, because knowing the right question is half the job it does for you.
Public filings and prices, plus what only scraping and agent research reach: reviews, availability, vendor and footfall signals.
You see it before you start, and a budget caps it.
You pay for the work, not a flat seat.
