Run research interactively, browse indexed public datasets, and generate repeatable market or portfolio analyses.
Extruct AI targets a specific, stubborn problem: retrieving structured, verifiable facts about companies at the scale that sales, investment, and market research teams need. Instead of relying only on a static database, it combines a curated index of around ten million companies with live web research, so it can both match against known entities and discover companies that no list contains.
Querying works the way an analyst would describe a brief. You supply criteria such as sector, geography, employee range, project history, or technology used, and Extruct sources candidates, filters them against the criteria, and returns a rated set of matches. Because the underlying work is agentic, it can run broadly first and then research deeply on the shortlist, and it records where each fact came from so results can be audited rather than taken on trust.
Beyond the API, Extruct offers a Studio interface for interactive research, a Data Room of public datasets indexed live, and market and batch reports for repeatable analysis. The company has also launched Grip, aimed at outbound that AI agents can run. Teams use it to build target lists, enrich records, and produce theses, and the site presents customer stories across investment and research contexts. Pricing is plan- and credit-based, with an API key issued after sign-up.
Describe your ideal account with hard filters and get a shortlist that can be pushed into your CRM.
Source companies across a sector, research the shortlist deeply, and assemble a thesis with citations.
Call the API from an agent or app so it can look up and research businesses on demand.
