Blueflame AI in Grata is a conversational intelligence agent built directly on top of Grata’s private-company and market dataset. Instead of clicking through filters and screens, you describe what you’re looking for in plain language, and the agent searches, retrieves, and organizes the answer for you. It turns Grata’s underlying data - millions of private companies, deal activity, ownership records, and market signals - into something you can query in plain language.

Blueflame AI in Grata compresses the sourcing and research workflow - screening a market, profiling targets, checking ownership, and building an outreach list - into a single conversational surface. It lets you move quickly from a thesis to a prioritized, contactable pipeline, while keeping the underlying data structured and traceable back to Grata’s records.

• Company discovery. Describe a target profile in natural language - industry, geography, size, and intent - and the agent returns a ranked set of matching private companies. You can tighten the results with filters for industry, location, revenue, employee count, and seller-intent signals, so a broad theme narrows into an actionable target list.

• Deep company profiles. For any specific company, the agent pulls a full profile and can dig into financial details, acquisition history, funding rounds, investors, and ownership. This lets you go from “who fits my thesis” to “tell me everything about this one name” in the same conversation.

• Lookalike search. Point the agent at one or more companies you already like, and it finds similar businesses - peers, competitors, and lookalikes - to expand your universe beyond names you already know.

• Market and deal intelligence. Beyond individual companies, the agent searches broader market datasets: M&A transactions, active sell-side mandates, buyers, industry conferences, and advisory firms (accounting and legal). It can also identify the bankers who cover a particular sector - useful for mapping who’s active in your space.

• Public comps and valuation context. It assembles comparable public-company sets by sector and size, with valuation multiples, giving you a live market reference point when you’re pricing a private opportunity.

• Market signals. The agent surfaces sector-level activity through Grata’s market-index scores - deal activity, buyer activity, and buyer commitment - so you can see where deal-making is heating up before committing resources.

• Legal-entity and ownership research. For deeper diligence, it retrieves legal-entity profiles, financial statements, corporate group structures, and shareholder/officer relationships, and can locate official filings and documents available to order.

• Lists and contacts. You can build and manage target lists, follow curated lists, and pull executive and contact information - including emails and LinkedIn profiles - to move from a target universe straight into outreach.

1. Start with a brief, not a filter. Type what you want - for example, “Find HVAC services companies in the Southeast under 200 employees with signs they may be looking to sell.” The agent handles the translation into a structured search.

2. Refine conversationally. If the first pass is too broad or too narrow, just say so - “narrow this to under $50M revenue,” “add adjacent industries,” or “show me lookalikes of this company.” The agent adjusts within the same thread.

3. Drill into names that matter. Ask for a full profile, financials, funding history, or ownership on any company that stands out, without leaving the conversation.

4. Zoom out for market context. Ask which sectors are seeing the most deal activity, who’s buying, which bankers cover a space, or what comparable public companies are trading at.

5. Capture and act. Save promising targets to a list, follow relevant lists, and pull contact details when you’re ready to reach out.
