  "raw_analysis": "Owler is a business information and competitive intelligence platform that aggregates data on millions of companies. It provides a searchable database where users can look up companies by name or website to obtain profiles including description, industry, estimated revenue, employee count, and key executives. The platform also curates news, blog posts, competitor lists, and social media mentions.\n\nOwler is primarily used by sales professionals, marketers, and recruiters for prospecting, account research, and market monitoring. The service is free to use with a freemium model: basic data is accessible without payment, while deeper insights (e.g., contact details, advanced filters) require a PRO subscription. Enterprise plans exist for teams.\n\nIntegrations include a Chrome extension, Salesforce app, Slack app, and mobile apps for iOS and Android. There is no public, documented REST API for developers; the platform is designed for web and integrated workflows rather than programmatic access. Owler is owned by Meltwater, a media intelligence company, and has been operating since around 2011, indicating a mature product in the competitive intelligence space.\n\nAuthentication for the web platform uses standard email/password or social login. API access may be available for enterprise customers through Meltwater, but no public endpoint documentation is provided."
