What you can ask

You talk to it in natural language — you don't need to know table names or tool details.

• Tell me about an Estonian OÜ — owners, board, financials
• Which companies is a given person connected to?
• Who are the beneficial owners of a company?
• What happened in the Estonian Business Register today?
• Top 10 taxpayers and employers in Estonia
• Find trademarks containing a word — and who owns them
• How many retail companies (EMTAK 47.8) are there, and where?
• Compare the 2024 financials of three companies
