Context.dev vs Valyu at a glance

Bring the required sources into any task

An example use case: A procurement team considering a five-year agreement with a listed manufacturer needs more than a company profile. It needs to understand whether debt obligations, cash generation or reported operating risks could affect supply.

Valyu's source catalogue includes SEC filings, financial statements and economic records alongside the web.

The team can attach the contract requirements, select the financial sources and give Valyu DeepResearch a brief:

Review this supplier's latest 10-K and 10-Q. Identify debt maturities, cash-flow trends and disclosed risks to production. Compare the findings with its current capacity claims. Return a cited supplier-risk memo, separate reported facts from inference and list the questions we should resolve before signing a five-year agreement.

Then they can inspect the deepresearch deliverables with finance, request supporting documents from the supplier and decide which questions must be answered before the agreement proceeds. The memo gives the team the findings, evidence and remaining uncertainties together.

Asides financial research, Valyu provides access to sources like ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, arXviv and others for academic and scientific research.

Turn the brief into a repeatable research job

Valyu DeepResearch lets teams define the question, select search sources and specify the report structure. It conducts the investigation and returns a cited report or structured data. PDF output is supported; generating Word documents or Excel workbooks requires code execution.

Save a useful supplier review through the Workflows API and reuse it for the next supplier. Workflows is in Beta. A pinned version preserves the questions and instructions; new evidence can still change the findings.

Use the research your team already has

Attach supported PDFs, Word documents or Excel workbooks to an individual research task. Past supplier reviews, lab reports and investment memos give the investigation the team's actual experience and criteria.

For continuing archives, Valyu offers enterprise private indexes and Forward Deployed Engineers who configure retrieval around the firm's work. Live web search and the Contents API can also bring current announcements and page content into the review.

Which should you choose?

Context.dev is a fit for website scraping, crawling and company-data enrichment. Choose Valyu for AI knowledge work that needs specialist records, covered licensed literature, internal documents and a cited research report or reusable brief.

Use the next supplier or scientific review already on the team's desk. Select the required evidence, attach the relevant documents and check the returned citations and open questions before the next decision.
