Access to detailed financial data of companies in Austria often presents an unnecessary hurdle. This is precisely where Firmenbuch AI comes in: As a free, AI-powered platform, it takes access to company data to a whole new level, making it accessible to the general public.

Core features

  • Free access to financial reports: Users can view the balance sheets and profit & loss statements of thousands of companies.
  • Simple search: An intuitive search mask allows for the quick discovery of companies by name or company registration number.
  • AI-üowered analysis: Beyond simply displaying the documents, an integrated AI analyzes the financial reports and summarizes the most important key figures and developments in an easy-to-understand way.
  • Monitoring & notifications: Automated alerts as soon as a monitored company publishes new financial data.

Premium & Enterprise features

  • Unlimited usage: Enterprise users can conduct unlimited searches, evaluations, and AI analyses. This is ideal for daily, intensive research without quantity limits.
  • Advanced search: The feature allows users to filter the entire database according to criteria such as revenue, location, or company purpose to conduct targeted market analyses and lead generation.
  • On-Demand AI updates: The AI analysis can be restarted at any time at the push of a button. This guarantees that the evaluation is always based on the most recently filed documents.

A new EU directive

In Austria, detailed financial data from companies, such as annual statements and balance sheets, was public, but access was cumbersome and costly. Every query from the official company register was associated with fees, which significantly limited transparency for the general public. This situation is now changing due to the new EU directive on the public disclosure of company data. This directive obligates member states to make certain company information from national registers available free of charge and via a machine-readable interface (API).

Technology

The frontend was built using the Svelte framework, while the backend is powered by Kotlin/Spring Boot. The official government API serves as the data source. The entire process, from the initial idea to the first live version, took only about two weeks. By using winkk AI, even annual financial statements that are provided only as PDFs, and not in a machine-readable format (XML), can be broken down into their individual components and used for further processing. The project has been under continuous development ever since.

Conclusion

Firmenbuch AI represents an effective solution to the long-standing problem of difficult access to company data. The new EU directive creates the necessary legal framework for this, while the deployed AI technology provides the crucial technological component for making the data usable.
