Making a complex database accessible
Despite in-house expertise in artificial intelligence, Infobel Pro was looking to improve the accessibility of its huge database.
Our main goal was to enable developers and users to formulate natural language queries to interact easily with their complex API, without having to wade through exhaustive technical documentation.
With a global presence and over three decades of experience, Infobel Pro is a major player in the B2B data sector. The company manages a database of over 350 million companies in 220 countries, providing information for prospecting, analysis and much more. Today, Infobel Pro continues to innovate to offer solutions adapted to the changing needs of the market.
Data Sector
B2B
01. Challenge
The challenge was twofold: how to innovate rapidly in an environment with no predefined business case while guaranteeing quality results in line with the company’s high standards.
02. Approach
We collaborated with Infobel Pro to develop a Proof of Concept (PoC) for an AI solution capable of transforming natural language questions into precise API queries.
In just a few weeks, we demonstrated the effectiveness of agile collaboration between a company with in-house AI expertise and an expert external partner.
03. Impact
As a result, we achieved :
Accelerated delivery by removing technical friction for developers
Enhanced UX through intuitive natural language access to API
De-risked innovation with a lean, business-case-free PoC
Optimized resources, allowing internal teams to stay focused
Boosted data value, reinforcing Infobel Pro’s market leadership
01. Challenge
Infobel Pro, a global B2B data provider with over 350 million business records across 220 countries, aimed to take a bold step forward in data accessibility. Despite robust internal AI capabilities, the team faced a key challenge: how to empower developers and end-users to query complex APIs using natural language — without relying on lengthy documentation or rigid technical workflows.
The stakes were high: finding a way to innovate quickly, without a predefined business case, while maintaining the company’s rigorous quality standards.
02. Approach
We launched a lean and focused Proof of Concept (PoC).
The objective: build an AI solution capable of interpreting natural language questions and converting them into precise API queries — streamlining how users interact with Infobel Pro’s extensive dataset.
Over just a few weeks, the teams worked in close agile collaboration, combining internal expertise with external technical support. The process emphasized rapid iteration, clear validation steps, and a pragmatic mindset focused on measurable outcomes rather than theoretical promises.
03. Impact
As a result, we achieved :
Accelerated Developer Efficiency
The AI layer eliminated the need for developers to consult hundreds of pages of technical documentation, drastically reducing onboarding time and boosting productivity.Improved User Experience
Natural language interactions made the API more intuitive, enabling broader usage across both technical and non-technical profiles.Smart Innovation Without Overhead
By validating a new use case without a formal business case, Infobel Pro was able to de-risk innovation while opening doors to future service enhancements.Focused Use of Internal Resources
The project allowed internal teams to remain focused on their core business, while still pushing forward innovation at the edge of their platform.Stronger Market Positioning
Enhancing access to its global database reinforces Infobel Pro’s role as a forward-thinking leader in the B2B data industry.
