Navigate any research question with AI.
Compass is an autonomous AI agent that answers business, research, and analytics questions by fetching real data from live sources -- not by guessing. Built with Claude (Anthropic) as the reasoning engine, it chains multiple tools together in multi-step workflows and remembers your full conversation context.
