How to track mergers and acquisitions in ChatGPT
Blog post from Firecrawl
Tracking merger and acquisition deals with ChatGPT can be unreliable because announcements may be outdated, deal terms are dispersed across sources, private transactions receive limited coverage, and the model can make factual or numerical errors. The Firecrawl plugin is presented as a way to give ChatGPT access to Firecrawl Alexandria, including Benzinga’s M&A calendar and news search, enabling current lookups of acquirers, targets, deal values, payment types, statuses, and anticipated or completed closing dates. Alexandria combines more than 100 official data providers with Firecrawl’s specialized indexes, and an evaluation cited in the text found that agents using it produced answers judged 21% better than those relying only on built-in web tools. Users can install the plugin, connect a Firecrawl account, ask about individual transactions, filter a company’s recent deals, identify pending acquisitions, or schedule news-monitoring alerts through email or Slack. Browsing available tools is free, while Benzinga M&A calendar searches cost 15 Firecrawl credits and news searches cost 30 credits per call; however, coverage remains limited to deals Benzinga records, records may later be withdrawn, and the information is not investment advice.
