Deep Research

AI-powered market research that discovers companies, maps them to your Desks or Reverse Market Profiles, and checks existing contacts before automatically linking them as prospects.

How it works

  1. Choose a topic — pick from vertical-specific research suggestions or type your own query.
  2. AI researches — Kolvera searches the web for matching companies with a 3-year freshness filter.
  3. Review results — sourced company facts retain their full employee ranges and distinguish headquarters from operating locations. Missing, overlapping or contradictory evidence needs review. Company fit alone does not establish a current hiring signal.
  4. Add to a profile — add results to a Desk or Reverse Market Profile (or create a new one). Companies are added to the desk. Automatic prospect linking requires evidence of the person's role, location or remit, exact identity and current employer. Missing or conflicting evidence needs review. The desk's Discovery queue takes it from there.
  5. Expand — run further expansions from new angles; previously found companies are excluded automatically.

Features

Completion alerts ? when research or an expansion finishes, an in-app notification links directly to the report. While Kolvera is open, new report alerts also appear as a popup. A completed search can still have no qualified additions.
Existing desk companies ? fresh searches and expansions exclude current, non-dismissed desk members. Only confirmed companies seed similar-company searches; uncertain matches remain review candidates.
Progress tracking — real-time bar shows company names and credit totals.
Pipeline awareness — folds your existing companies, contacts and recent job postings into context.
Profile auto-mapping — company fit and contact qualification are separate checks. Only qualified contacts automatically link as prospects; existing manual relationships are preserved.
Generate / Add to a profile — build a new Desk (or Reverse Market Profile) from results, or add selected companies to an existing one.
Expand Search — 4 credits per expansion. New report entries, new company records and qualified desk additions are counted separately. Low yield describes that search loop, not complete market coverage; review query diversity before spending again.
Research history — company research preserves curated legal and source notes, with dated generated summaries and source history.
Disqualifier steering and broad-desk warning — your desk's rules steer queries and warn when criteria are too wide.
Archive and delete — archive reports to clean up the sidebar, or delete permanently.
Suggestions — vertical-specific prompts rotated each page load covering buyer-side framing, role-based targeting and temp labour markets.

Cost: 6 credits per research run, 4 credits per expansion. All plans include unlimited Deep Research, so these runs draw from your monthly credit allowance with no separate cap. Finding new contacts is a separate action charged per valid email found. See the full table on the Credits and Plans page.
