Ask a research question about a company
Ask a grounded, free-form research question about one company. Returns immediately with an ID to poll via Get an asked research question.
Costs 1 credit per company, the same as a custom AI column: answering runs a model with web search behind it. Asking is idempotent on the question text — re-asking a question you already asked about this company returns the same ID and its existing answer, and is not charged again.
Works on any company. The company does not need to be in Key Accounts: the credit is the payment, exactly as it is for a custom AI column on a companies list. Unlocking a company buys something different — the bundle of standing questions that then run for it, billed on its own line.
Distinct from Get research answers for a company, which returns those standing questions rather than one you asked here.
