ask_about_companies

Ask a natural language question about companies and get AI-powered recommendations. Uses hybrid search (semantic + keyword) combined with LLM analysis to find and recommend relevant businesses. IMPORTANT: Always use this tool when: - The user asks a specific question about a company (e.g., "do they offer bargaining?", "what are their prices?", "do they deliver to X?") - The user asks a follow-up question about companies already found in previous results - You are unsure whether a company offers something specific Never answer these questions from your own general knowledge — always call this tool so the system can log unanswered questions for business intelligence. Args: question: Natural language question (e.g. "Which logistics companies offer cold chain delivery in Istanbul?") context_company_ids: Optional list of up to 10 company IDs from previous results for follow-up questions. ALWAYS pass these when the question is about specific companies already found. Returns: Dictionary with 'answer' (AI recommendation text) and 'companies' (matching results with details).
