Hello, I'm Hamamoto Ryuta from TIMEWELL.
In 2026, AI agents are evolving from "general-purpose" to "domain-specialized." A defining example of this shift is the Speeda AI Agent from Uzabase, Inc.
Announced in June 2025 and released in desktop GA form in October of the same year, Speeda AI Agent combines the business intelligence foundation Uzabase has built over 17 years — covering 200+ countries and 10+ million companies — with two AI agents: Flash Research (rapid search) and Deep Research (in-depth analysis). In December 2025, a sales support agreement with NTT Data was concluded and the agent was registered on Salesforce AgentExchange, accelerating enterprise adoption.
This article covers Speeda AI Agent's full capabilities, how it compares to competitors, its business impact, and how to get the most from it.

What Is Speeda AI Agent: An AI Agent Specialized in Economic Intelligence
Uzabase's 17-Year Business Intelligence Foundation
Speeda AI Agent fuses generative AI with the business intelligence platform that Uzabase — founded in 2008 — has built over 17+ years of operation.
Underlying data assets:
| Data type | Scale |
|---|---|
| Company data | 200+ countries, 10M+ companies (listed and private) |
| M&A data | 1.8M+ global M&A transactions |
| Statistical data | Global economic and market statistics |
| News and trends | Real-time economic news |
| Expert insights | Specialist perspectives and analyst viewpoints |
This data foundation has earned the trust of financial institutions and consulting firms, and is currently used in decision-making by 3,000+ companies.
Two-Agent Collaborative Architecture
The technical heart of Speeda AI Agent is the coordinated operation of two specialized agents.
| Agent | Role | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Goal-specialized agent | Understands the user's business objective | Delivers substantive insights aligned with business goals |
| Information processing agent | Handles each data source appropriately | Structures diverse economic information for cross-source comparison and analysis |
This two-agent collaboration means a natural question like "analyze the challenges facing Company A" generates a comprehensive answer integrating financial data, M&A history, market trends, and competitive landscape.
Core Features in Detail
Flash Research: High-Speed AI Search
Flash Research is a rapid AI search function specialized for business information. Unlike general web search, it uses Speeda's expert database as its source — delivering reliable answers in seconds.

Deep Research pairs reasoning models with an analyst's perspective for comprehensive analysis. Where Flash Research "gets you an answer fast," Deep Research "digs deep."
Deep Research analysis categories:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Competitive analysis | Competitor financials, strategy, market position |
| Supply chain | Dependency on specific suppliers, alternative options |
| Risk assessment | Raw material price volatility, geopolitical risk, regulatory changes |
| Market environment | Market size, growth rate, trends, entry barriers |
| M&A trends | Industry M&A patterns, potential acquisition targets |
Automated Report Generation
Speeda AI Agent generates various business documents with a single click.
Available reports:
- Company reports: Integrated analysis of financials, business overview, competitive position
- Account plans: Sales strategy documents (customer challenges, pitch points, competitive situation)
