Brief yourself on any company before a meeting
Turn a company domain into a sourced brief. Our Linear example caught a funding-date mismatch and separated a tender offer from a new raise.

Ask for a brief you can use
Before a meeting, a company profile is only the beginning. You need to know what the business does, which facts deserve checking and what has changed enough to make a useful conversation. A compact brief should separate a provider’s profile from a company’s own announcements.
We started with linear.app. Hunter’s company enrichment returned a product description, location, reported headcount and funding history. A news lookup added five articles, but their match labels showed secondary mentions. We kept those as background rather than treating them as five new events at Linear. A search restricted to the company’s own domain then located the announcements we needed.
Resolve the disagreement before writing
The provider profile dated Linear’s $82 million Series C to July 10, 2025. Linear’s announcement says June 10, 2025. We used the original announcement for the event date and retained the disagreement in the research notes. A plausible enrichment record is still something to check.
A later company post described a $99 million tender offer at a $2.5 billion valuation. It explained that current and former teammates could sell some vested equity, and that the company chose this route instead of raising new primary capital. Calling that another $99 million funding round would change the meaning of the news.
The same post reported that Linear had passed $100 million in annual recurring revenue earlier in the year. A meeting brief can include that as a dated company statement with a link. It should not present it as independently audited revenue or an estimate for today.
| Finding | How to use it |
|---|---|
| $82M Series C | Use the official June 10, 2025 announcement date |
| $99M tender offer | Describe employee liquidity, not new primary funding |
| $100M ARR milestone | Attribute it to the company’s own growth post |
The five-call research bill
The example cost $0.0149 in AR data fees. That includes the news lookup even though we did not use its secondary mentions as company-event evidence. Counting only the calls that made it into the final paragraph would understate the cost of the research.
The agent’s job is to reconcile the material and write the brief. AR supplies the individual tool calls and their receipts. These charges exclude the agent’s own model fees, and a future company lookup may need a different number of sources.
| Step | Calls | Actual charge |
|---|---|---|
| Company profile | 1 | $0.0049 |
| Company news | 1 | $0.003 |
| Search official announcements | 1 | $0.001 |
| Read the two announcements | 2 | $0.006 |
| Total | 5 | $0.0149 |
Give your agent the meeting context
A good final brief fits on one page: what the company sells, who it serves, the few dated facts that matter, two or three relevant developments and questions to bring into the meeting. Keep uncertain headcounts and missing fields labeled. Do not fill a missing financial field with a guess.
Tell the agent why you are meeting. A partnership discussion and a sales discovery call need different questions even when they start with the same company domain. Ask for a source next to each consequential claim so you can open it before the meeting.
Using AgentRouter, prepare a one-page brief on linear.app before a product partnership meeting. Get a company profile, check recent news and read the most relevant official announcements. Separate company-reported facts, third-party estimates and unresolved conflicts. Distinguish a primary funding round from a secondary tender offer. Include source links, three useful meeting questions, run IDs and the actual data bill. Keep AR data fees under $0.05.
