Free Chrome extension · On-device AI

Look up any company.
Check every answer.

Type a company name. Veridex searches public sources, finds the official site, cross-checks the facts, and hands back structured data — with the source URL, a confidence score and a timestamp on every single value.

The problem

Ask a chatbot for a CEO and you get a sentence you have to trust

It reads confidently whether it is right or wrong, it rarely cites, and when it doesn't know something it tends to produce a plausible answer anyway. That is fine for a first draft and unusable for research you have to stand behind.

Every value is linked

Each field carries the exact URL it came from, so you can click through and confirm it yourself in one second.

It says "Not found"

If a value can't be confirmed, Veridex reports nothing rather than inventing something. A blank is an honest answer.

Confidence, not vibes

Values are scored by how they were found — a structured API answer outranks a guess pulled out of page text.

Data, not paragraphs

Structured fields you can sort, filter and export — not prose you have to re-read and retype into a spreadsheet.

Provenance

Every value shows its working

Veridex records how it found each value and how sure it is. When two independent sources agree, the field is marked verified. Where sources disagree, alternatives are kept rather than quietly discarded.

Confidence follows the method, because how you found a fact predicts how likely it is to be right:

Structured APIA regulator or registry answering in machine-readable form
0.96
JSON-LD / Schema.orgThe site's own structured data markup
0.92
MicrodataInline structured markup in the page
0.86
OpenGraphThe page's own social metadata
0.80
Meta tagsDeclared, but less strictly structured
0.72
Heuristic textRead out of page copy — kept, but ranked last
0.55

Two independent sources agreeing promotes a field to verified. Up to four alternatives are retained per field.

How it works

Locate with AI, verify with live data

The model never supplies a fact. It suggests where to look — and every suggestion is then fetched and checked against the real page before anything reaches you.

Plan

On-device AI turns your company name and chosen fields into a search plan. Ask in plain language and it works out which fields you meant.

Find the real company

Public search engines plus AI-suggested domains, each probed and token-checked against the fetched page. A domain that doesn't mention the company is discarded.

Crawl and extract

The official site is crawled in two waves — search results first, then about, team, leadership and contact pages found via its own sitemap.

Cross-check

Registries and open databases are queried, values are reconciled with the company's own domain carrying decisive weight, and the AI removes anything that doesn't belong.

Same-name disambiguation is the hard part

Free-form company names are a weak key — dozens of firms share one. Veridex resolves to the official domain instead, because a domain is unique and checkable. Records from a site that merely shares a word with the name are rejected rather than blended into the answer.

Features

Built for real research, not a demo

Veridex bulk mode processing a 512-row spreadsheet of companies with live per-row progress and an exported results file

Research up to 500 companies at once

Upload an Excel or CSV list and get a clean, sourced spreadsheet back. Bulk runs continue in the background even when you close the panel, and pick up where they left off rather than starting over.

62 built-in fields Custom fields 96 countries 40 categories Plain-language prompts

Export in the shape you already work in

PDF, Excel, CSV, JSON or Markdown — provenance and confidence travel with the data rather than getting lost on the way out. The PDF is a real report, not a table dump: a branded stat band, a company overview and every metric next to the source that produced it. Past exports stay in your library for re-download.

Watch a company

Veridex re-checks on a schedule and notifies you when a value actually changes — diffing ignores whitespace and case noise, so you aren't alerted over nothing.

Life-sciences depth

Exact clinical-trial counts, FDA-approved and investigational drugs, and orphan-drug designations, straight from the official databases that publish them.

Library and history

Every search, favourite and export is kept locally so you can come back to a result instead of running it again.

Reference links stay honest

Deep links to registries are offered without a confidence score — because a patent-search link is not evidence a company holds patents.

Sources

Public sources, named

Veridex reads public search engines, the company's own website, and open data APIs. A provider is only queried when you request a field it can answer and the category matches — otherwise it stays dormant.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Veridex has no server, no account and no analytics, and your searches, results, exports and settings never leave your machine. The AI runs entirely on your device. What does go out are the searches themselves — the company name you type is sent to public search engines and open data APIs, exactly as if you had searched for it yourself. Your identity, browsing history and page content are never transmitted. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Chrome's built-in Gemini Nano, through the Prompt API — the model runs on your own device, so there is no cloud AI provider and no API bill. If it isn't available, Veridex falls back to structured-data extraction and keeps working.
The AI is never the source of a fact. It plans the search, suggests where the company's site might be, and reviews candidate values — but every suggestion is fetched and checked against the live page, and the verification step can only ever remove a suspect value, never invent or alter one. A suggestion that doesn't resolve is discarded.
This is the hardest part of company research, and it's what most of the pipeline is for. Veridex resolves to the official domain rather than the name, because a domain is unique. A guard rejects records from unrelated domains that merely share a word with the name, the company's own site gets decisive weight when values are reconciled, and a final semantic check removes anything that doesn't fit. Adding a country narrows it further.
Up to 500 rows per Excel or CSV file. Bulk runs keep going in the background after you close the side panel, and resume any rows still pending rather than starting the file again.
