Check a company before you sign. Registry, history and press, in one report.
Company due diligence checks that a business is who it says it is, still active, and free of obvious red flags. With Agentik, your AI confirms its legal identity with GLEIF, reads its official entry in the French Sirene registry, checks how long its website has existed with the Wayback Machine, and searches the news and the web for lawsuits or liquidation with Serper.

The prompt
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor.
Once Agentik is connected, your AI asks for your inputs, checks each tool and shows the price before anything runs.
Or ask it your way
- “Check this French supplier before we pay the deposit: SIREN 123 456 789.”
- “Is this company still active, and who are its directors?”
- “How long has this vendor’s website existed?”
- “Any lawsuits or liquidation news about this distributor?”
What it costs
At most $0.05. From one balance.
Each provider’s own price, with 0% markup. Each call reserves at most the amount shown, is billed for what it actually used, and the rest is released. A call that ends in an error is refunded.

Good to know
- This is a first check from public sources: not legal or financial advice, and not a replacement for a regulated KYC process.
- A clean report means nothing turned up in these sources, not that nothing exists.
When to use something else
For regulated KYC or AML checks, use a licensed provider; Agentik gathers the public evidence quickly, before you commit.
Questions
Company due diligence: straight answers.
Still unsure? Ask us.
Which countries work?
GLEIF covers companies with an LEI worldwide. The registry step covers France (Sirene) and US SEC filers; elsewhere your agent relies on GLEIF, the website and the press.
Couldn’t I check each source myself?
You could, one site at a time. Through Agentik your AI queries all four providers from one connection and writes the report; the example costs at most $0.05.
What does the example cost?
At most $0.05: the registries and the archive are free.
