Company Intent

Get a broad overview of intent signals for a single company — returns the top topics by score (0–100, where 100 = strongest signal) with intent levels (High/Medium/Low), buyer journey stages, and context dispositions (Displacement/Expansion/Complementary/Whitespace) from HG proprietary data. TrustRadius activity events (raw page views with evidence URLs) appear in the activities array.

Use this when: you want the full ranked landscape of what a company is researching (top-N topics by score), competitive signals (set vendor_name + context_type=Displacement), or filtering by journey stage or intent level.

Do NOT use this when:

• You want companies researching a specific topic → use intent_category with topic_name instead.
• You need to discover valid topic names/IDs → use list_intent_topics first.
• You set group_by=company with signal — this activates activity search mode which ignores companyDomain and returns cross-company aggregates; only use that combination if you want a ranked list of companies (not a per-company lookup).
• You set source=trustradius expecting scored topic signals — TrustRadius topics currently return score=0; meaningful TR data is in the activities array only.

Scores are bounded 0–100. intent_level thresholds: High ≥ 85, Medium 65–84, Low < 65 (approximate).

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
companyDomain	string	-	Company domain to look up intent signals for (e.g., "cisco.com", "salesforce.com"). Either companyDomain or hg_id is required. Protocol prefixes (http://, https://), leading www., and trailing paths/queries/fragments are accepted and stripped automatically; case is normalized.
hg_id	string	-	HG Insights company ID (32 alphanumeric characters). When provided, this overrides companyDomain. Obtain from a previous company_search result.
vendor_name	string	-	Filter by vendor name for competitive/displacement analysis (e.g., "Snowflake, Inc."). Pair with context_type=Displacement to surface companies moving off that vendor; shows displacement signals and context dispositions.
product_name	string	-	Filter by product name (e.g., "Salesforce Sales Cloud"). Scopes results to intent signals related to this product.
intent_level	string	-	Filter by intent level.
buyers_journey	string	-	Filter by buyer journey stage (e.g., "Researching", "Evaluating", "Purchasing").
context_type	string	-	Filter by context type (e.g., "Whitespace", "Expansion", "Displacement", "Complementary").
source	string	-	Filter by data source. Omit to include both HG and TrustRadius signals. Note: source="trustradius" topic scores currently return 0 — meaningful TrustRadius data is in the activities array, not scored topics; use source="hg" for scored topic signals.
start_date	string	-	Start date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Defaults to 30 days ago.
end_date	string	-	End date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Defaults to today.
signal	string	-	Filter by signal category. Activates activity search mode. Values: comparison (view Comparison, click Comparisons), pricing (view Product Pricing), research (view Product Listing, view Category), evaluation (view Review, view Reviews and Ratings).
products	array	-	Array of product names with AND logic — returns only companies/events matching ALL products (e.g., ["Databricks", "Snowflake Platform"]). Activates activity search mode. Distinct from product_name which filters the intent endpoint.
filters	object	-	Firmographic and category filters for activity search mode.
filters.employees_range	string	-	Employee range filter (e.g., "10,000+", "1,001-5,000", "201-500").
filters.country_codes	array	-	ISO country code filter (e.g., ["US", "GB"]).
filters.category_name	string	-	Filter by product category name.
group_by	string	-	"company" for aggregated company data, omit for raw individual events with evidence URLs. Activates activity search mode. Note: group_by="company" combined with signal switches to cross-company activity search — companyDomain is ignored and the response follows a different schema (ranked companies, not a per-company lookup).
limit	integer	-	Pagination limit (1-200). Used in both intent and activity search modes.
offset	integer	-	Pagination offset (default 0). Used in both intent and activity search modes.

Required Integrations

This tool is only available when your organization has the following integration configured in the Phoenix Integrations settings:

• HG Insights (v2) (hginsights_v2)

Use Cases

• What technology areas is a company researching right now? — top topics by score
• Is a company showing displacement signals against a competitor? — vendor_name + context_type=Displacement
• Which buyer journey stage is a company in for a topic area? — buyers_journey filter
• What high-intent signals does a company have recently? — intent_level=High + date range
• Show only HG proprietary intent signals for a company — source=hg

Example Usage

Top intent topics for a company

{
  "tool": "company_intent",
  "arguments": {
    "companyDomain": "cisco.com",
    "limit": 10
  }
}

Competitive displacement signals

{
  "tool": "company_intent",
  "arguments": {
    "companyDomain": "salesforce.com",
    "vendor_name": "Oracle Corporation",
    "context_type": "Displacement",
    "intent_level": "High"
  }
}

HG-only signals in a date window

{
  "tool": "company_intent",
  "arguments": {
    "companyDomain": "cisco.com",
    "source": "hg",
    "limit": 20
  }
}

Response Format

note

• The response shape depends on the mode: the default (no group_by/signal/products) is intent mode — company/window/summary/topics/activities. Passing group_by, signal, or products switches to activity-search mode, which returns aggregated companies or raw events with pagination instead.
• topics is the top set by score (0–100, relative to this company's own signals) — a company with hundreds of active topics can have a specific topic omitted. For a definitive yes/no on one topic, use intent_category with its topic_name instead.
• data_available: false is a definitive "no intent data for this company" answer, not a service error — topics and activities are then empty arrays.
