Insight Lenses: Your New AI Research Companion

At Beauhurst, we’re always looking for ways to make company research faster, smarter, and more meaningful. Our latest innovation, Insight Lenses, brings the power of AI directly into your research workflow, transforming how you browse and analyse our company data.

What are Insight Lenses?

Insight Lenses sit at the top of every company page. They automatically generate concise summaries about the business, saving you the time of sifting through the data yourself.

Each Lens focuses on a different dimension of a company’s performance and potential, surfacing patterns and stories hidden within Beauhurst’s trusted data.

The first version of Insight Lenses includes five key perspectives:

  • Highlights (the Wide-Angle Lens): Captures key facts, metrics, and standout details to quickly orient you.
  • Growth Trajectory (the Time-Lapse Lens): Visualises progress and momentum through funding, performance, and development over time.
  • Financial Health (the Diagnostic Lens): Assesses stability, resilience, and potential areas of risk.
  • Innovation & Impact (the Infrared Lens): Reveals signals of innovation, sustainability, and positive societal outcomes.
  • People (the Portrait Lens): Brings leadership, investors, and networks into focus, showing influence and relationships.

Each summary is generated on a click, drawing on verified company datapoints and mapping back to a source. No two insights are the same, because no two companies are.

How it works

Behind every Lens is a unique AI prompt built to interpret Beauhurst data with accuracy and context.

This means:

  • Data-grounded intelligence – Each summary is rooted in the data already powering your research.
  • Lens-specific reasoning – Different prompts determine how the AI interprets and connects information.
  • Evidence-backed output – Every insight includes citations, so you can trace findings back to our source data with confidence.

Why it matters

Company research often requires pulling together information from multiple datasets that live in different sections of a company page: fundraising, financials, people, signals, and more. Lenses bring these threads together into a single narrative.

By using Insight Lenses, you can:

  • Save time through AI-augmented summaries
  • Gain confidence from data grounded in Beauhurst’s trusted intelligence
  • Stay relevant with insights tailored to your use case

Whether you’re screening for ideal clients, preparing for meetings, or comparing competitors, Insight Lenses help you move from data to understanding, quicker.

What’s next?

In the next version of Insight Lenses, coming soon, we’re introducing Custom Lenses. Simply describe what you want to know, and the platform will generate a bespoke insight based on your criteria.

This release marks the next step in Beauhurst’s AI feature suite, alongside innovations like Natural Language Search. Together, they’re reshaping how professionals discover, interpret, and act on UK company intelligence.

Insight Lenses are now live for all users. Simply visit any company page to see them in action.
