Whimbrel MedTech Analyst

How the archive is collected, dated, and windowed, what the feed excludes, and the licensing and attribution terms. Takes no inputs. Returns the methodology, the overview, and the published archive scale.

The rep's own setup in one place. On first use it starts the profile build: ask_now is the first question (the firm's website) and say_now the message to send. Pass each answer with step set to ask_now.step (website reads the site and drafts the profile), or step with skip true, and it returns the next question, one at a time, then the read-back. Pass any profile field to change it (services, device_areas, customer_stage, territory, clients, competitors, skip_companies, accounts, and the rest). A change keeps the earlier answer, which the rep can put back from the Memory page; nothing is deleted. With nothing passed: the profile, who the rep sells to best, the team's seats, the account page for billing and invites, where the data comes from, and the Memory page. Returns set_up_now while the profile is not built yet.

Returns the index signals that are new on a saved watch since it was saved or last checked, using the filters it was saved with, and marks them as seen so the next check starts from now.

The rundown on one company from Whimbrel's list of US medical device companies and suppliers: whether it is on the list and why, what it makes, stage, location, FDA-registered facilities, every event on file (clearances, approvals, inspections, recalls, trials, grants, funding, news) with dates and source links, and the rep's own history with it (what they said, people they know there). Use it for "tell me about", "what's the history with" or "what do we know about" a company. A company not on the list says so, so the rep does not pitch a foreign importer or a drug company.

One company's deep-research record as CRM import files. Pass company and format (hubspot or salesforce). Returns a companies/accounts CSV, a contacts CSV with the researched people and titles, a sourced research-notes document, and the import steps for that CRM. Requires an existing deep-research record and an active Whimbrel key.

A full research rundown on one company, for when the rep asks for one: current leadership and buying committee, company facts, contact routes, named partners, the evidence behind each, and known gaps. Pass company. Pass domain when asking for new research. Pass refresh to force a new run. Pass fact as email, clearance, or trial to return that stored fact only, without queueing a run. People already on the record are grouped by stored role. If the company has no record yet, or the newest record is more than a week old, this queues a fresh research run and returns the best file already stored, with a note on what is still filling. A record researched within the week is served as stored. Requires an active Whimbrel key.

Finds US medical device companies by device, technology or space, a role being hired, a state or a date. One search across every kind of signal, answered as companies: a device, technology or space in plain words (about), and optionally a role being hired, a US state or a date. Looks at device trials, FDA device makers, filings and news, and hiring, folds them into one row per company with its evidence and sources, leaves out the rep's customers, competitors and passes, and ranks the rest for what was asked and what the rep's firm sells.

Deletes what Whimbrel keeps for this rep about a company, when the rep asks: companies forgets what they said about it (its status, notes and history), stop_working takes it off the accounts they are working. The companies and their public records are not affected. People and the firm profile are edited on the rep's Memory page.

Returns Stripe Checkout links for Individual and Team. Both open with a one-month trial of the full paid product, then convert to paid. Individual is one person. Team is five or more people. Pass plan as individual or seat, or omit it to return both links. Pass quantity as the people on a seat checkout. A quantity below 5 is refused. No key is required. OAuth Subscribe on the sign-in page hands the token to the app with nothing to paste. These links are the display-key path for clients that do not use OAuth: open one, start the trial, then collect the key from the success page and send it as an Authorization Bearer header.

The people the rep told Whimbrel they know, optionally at one company or matching a word, with role, how they met and when they last spoke.

The accounts the rep is working, on Whimbrel's list of US medical device companies: add companies, and see what changed at each since a date (default the last 7 days) with sources, what the rep last said about it and who they know there. Use it for "what changed at my accounts" or "track these". A name that is not a US device company says so. It does not remove companies.

What's new in US medtech, for news questions such as "any news in medtech", "what's new this week", "anything new in neuromodulation", "who got FDA clearance lately", "any recalls". The last days of sourced events at US medical device companies and their suppliers: FDA clearances and approvals, recalls and warning letters, device trials, funding and grants, press releases and hiring, one row per company with dates and source links, ranked for the rep's firm.

What to write an opening line to one company from: what just happened there (a trial, a hire, an FDA decision, funding, news), each with its source, and from the rep's own profile the service it calls for, their closest past project, a certification the company asked for, and the angle when the company already uses another firm or resembles their clients. Also says how the company fits the rep (territory, stage) and who they already know there. Returns the facts, not the lines. Looking a company up here also counts it toward what Whimbrel learns the rep is drawn to, shown and removable on their Memory page.

Who to contact at one company, by role: R&D and engineering, quality, regulatory, clinical, supply chain and sourcing, operations and manufacturing, executive, business. Everyone the public record names there (the company's own site, award contacts, trial contacts and officials, filings), each with title, source, date and any published email or phone; work emails looked up for the top names when none is on record. People the rep already knows come first. Looking a company up here also counts it toward what Whimbrel learns the rep is drawn to, shown and removable on their Memory page.

Orders a list of company names the rep pasted (a territory, an exhibitor list, a target list) for the rep's firm. Each company on Whimbrel's list of US medical device companies comes with its position, the fit, why now, its newest evidence with sources, what the rep last said about it and who they know there. Names not on the list come back apart, with why. Saves nothing.

Keeps what the rep says in passing: reached out, they replied, meeting booked, interested, a pass and why, not now and when, a customer, a competitor, went elsewhere, or a person they know at a company. It only adds and updates; a request to forget something returns to_forget, the companies it names, and deletes nothing. Takes the rep's words as said and the companies currently on screen so 'them' and 'the second one' resolve. Returns a few words saying what was kept, like "Got it, QT's a pass." Today's list and follow-ups use what is kept.

Status of this account's queued, running, and finished research and onboarding requests. Pass request_id for one request, or omit it for the recent ten. On a Team plan, the reply includes seats claimed. Requires an active Whimbrel key.

Saves a named space from the Whimbrel signal index: the signals that match kind, since, new_award, phase, min_amount_usd and matching are stored under the name, for the calling account only. Saving the same name again replaces its saved signals with what matches now. Returns what was stored. Later replies open with one line when something new is on a saved watch; check_space_watch returns what is new.

The rep's plan for today, built from their profile and what they told Whimbrel: follow-ups that are due, what changed this week at the accounts they are working, and up to five new companies to reach out to (early signals such as trials not yet recruiting and the roles being hired), ranked for their firm, each with why now, the fit and who to contact. Leaves out customers, competitors, companies they passed on or already contacted, and anything shown in the last two weeks. Use it for "who should I reach out to", "plan my day" or "what's new for me".

Before a trade show: pass the show name, its dates and the exhibitor list (names the rep pasted or uploaded, or that you read off the show's exhibitor directory). Whimbrel checks each name against the archive, ranks the device companies for the rep's firm (must see, worth a stop) with what changed at each, and picks out the rep's own contacts, accounts, customers and competitors exhibiting. Long lists can go in several calls. After the show: pass met, the people and companies the rep met; each is remembered as met at the show, logged, and set to follow up in two days. With only a show name, returns the saved plan; with nothing, lists the rep's shows.
