In December, we launched Grep as a research preview for business due diligence. Within two weeks, hundreds of people were using it: folks at major tech companies, consulting firms, financial institutions, and Fortune 500 enterprises. They kept coming back. We built Grep based on three years at Parcha, helping fintechs like Airwallex, Flutterwave, Pipe and IG.com scale their compliance teams with AI. We created Grep because we thought an AI Expert in business due diligence might be useful beyond compliance. We underestimated how much. Today we're launching the next version: an AI Expert Engine for getting serious work done. The Gap in AI Expectations and RealitySoftware engineers using coding tools are living in a different world from everyone else. We ship ten times faster. We're not worried about AI taking their jobs. We're too busy being productive. Everyone else oscillates between fear and disappointment. Fear that AI will replace them. Disappointment when that it can't actually do their work. Vertical AI agents overpromise and underdeliver because they were built for GPT-4 era models - models that needed elaborate workflows, fine-tuning, RAG, and hand-holding. That's exactly how we built Parcha - a pre-orchestrated agent that has processed hunderds of thousands of compliance requests for the biggest fintechs in the world. With Opus 4.5, models are now capable of reasoning through legal analysis, evaluating financial statements, conducting due diligence. They don't need rigid orchestration. They need context - the right expertise, tools, and data sources. Coding tools figured this out first: provide context, then get out of the way. Grep treats models like coding tools do, but is made for everyone else doing serious work. What Is Grep?Grep is an AI Expert Engine for doing serious work. You tell it what your objective is. It selects the most suitable Expert, carries out deep research to get the right context, and then helps you complete your task. Whether it's carrying out due dilgence on a company, doing a background check on an employee, monitoring your venture portfolio or creating a leads list for your sales team - Grep is here to help you get it done. We're starting with 19 experts across 16 industries, including compliance, legal, and finance. Our vision is to have hundreds, eventually thousands of experts, trained not just by AI but by human domain specialists who can teach Grep what good work looks like in their field. How Grep WorksGrep starts with deep research. Your expert investigates across 50+ specialized data sources - all searched in parallel - to build real context. Not summaries of summaries. Real data with citations. Our experts have access to: - Compliance & Sanctions: ComplyAdvantage, OFAC SDN, OpenSanctions, UN & EU sanctions lists
- Corporate Registries: OpenCorporates (200M+ companies), SEC EDGAR, UK Companies House, and registries across 15+ countries
- People & Identity: PIPL, People Data Labs, LinkedIn profiles and companies
- Legal & Court Records: CourtListener, Harvard Case Law Access Project
- Financial Data: SEC filings, income statements, balance sheets, stock prices
- News & Media: Opoint global news archive, GDELT, Google News
- Academic & Patents: PubMed (35M+ citations), USPTO, arXiv, Semantic Scholar
- Specialized: MarineTraffic for vessels, FAA registry for aircraft, Google Places for businesses
Each expert knows which sources matter for their domain and searches them simultaneously. View all data sources. Then you go deeper. Ask follow-up questions. Probe specific risk factors. Request custom analysis. Your expert already has the context to answer. Then you create. Grep Workspace is a desktop application where you turn research into anything: legal briefs, board decks, investment memos, competitive reports. The research primes the context so the AI can execute, not just inform. Think of Grep as the MacBook Pro of AI - a place where serious work gets done. Claude Code for Everyone ElseWhen Anthropic released the Claude Agent SDK, we were among the first teams to build on it. The entire Grep engine is powered by the same agentic system as Claude Code: research, planning, skills, and tools, everything. It's the same technology that makes Claude Code work, applied to all serious work, not just coding. This is a bet on where AI is going. Every time Claude Code improves, Grep improves. Read more about our partnership with Anthropic here. Our existing compliance agents have processed hundreds of thousands of compliance tasks for major fintechs with an accuracy rate of over 99%. Grep is built on the same enterprise-grade SOC 2-compliant platform suitable for professionals in regulated industries. Join the WaitlistWe're starting with a waitlist to get Experts right before opening broadly. If you're doing serious work but still haven't found an AI tool that works for you, we would love you to give Grep a try. P.S. You can skip the line by getting invited by an existing user.
