aiHitdata - a brief introduction

aiHitdata is a unique source of company information. It stores and continually updates huge amounts of company data. Much of this data is unique, it will not be found in any other database available on the Internet. Below we briefly answer all the hows and whys, so that you could understand the power of aiHit and how it might help you.

What is aiHitdata?

aiHitdata is a massive, artificial intelligence/machine learning, automated system that has been trained to build and update company information from the web.

What makes the data different?

aiHitdata not only extracts data. It can monitor and understand the changes that occur on company websites; afterwards, it records these changes as time series transactions. This information is incredibly powerful. What are the benefits?

• Most company information databases might tell you the name of a company’s CEO. aiHitdata will tell you when the CEO changed and show the resulting transaction, date and change details.
• Most query engines and company databases simply tell you what a company currently says on its website. aiHitdata shows you how the company has changed over time.
• Most company databases quickly become out of date. aiHitdata is constantly being updated.

This enables you to understand what is happening to companies and to perform queries such as… “show me all the engineering companies in California with a new CTO appointed in the last 9 months.” Hence, you can find and list companies by what they are and see what is happening to them. This makes aiHitdata an extremely powerful tool. Click here to see an example

What else is different about aiHitdata?

It is up to date, and we mean really up to date. There are no humans involved in compiling its data. It is all fully automated. aiHitdata’s servers scour the Internet continually, 24/7, monitoring and updating company data.

How does it work?

This is complex, but to give an idea…

• aiHitdata is continually building and refining its own URL map of the web
• Its intelligent crawlers then extract the companies from this map (aiHitdata finds approximately 30,000 new companies each week).
• It identifies, categorises and extracts all of the Key Fields (see below) it finds on each company site
• It then checks/ quality assures and stores them.
• Next, it re-crawls each company site periodically, noting changes.
• When it spots a change, it records this as a time series transaction in its database.
