acombandrew: This is a great idea, albeit one that will be really hard to pull off well but really valuable for developers if you're able to execute.Definitely kind of a boil-the-ocean high-schlep startup but I would love to see this succeed.

ymarkov: Thanks, it is going to be fun! :)

macrolet: Who are your customers? Consumer or business?

ymarkov: Both - we're building APIs ultimately designed for AI agents and LLMs that need trustworthy place data and that includes cases from enterprise to personal people's agents

deepdarkforest: Its quite funny that you are building an "infinite place profile", you both worked on products used by 100s of millions of people, and yet your website is down from 45 minutes of HN traffic!Joking, but its a very good idea. Synchronization between the physical world information and digital has been a very hard problem for decades and im sure an agentic approach can 10x the value.

thesiti92: what kinds of data quality evals do you guys use now? i'm curious to try integrating it

frankdenbow: Implementing maps into our app so giving this a shot. How does pricing compare to google maps api?

ymarkov: It is on par with Google Maps API, but Google gives you more data. Our terms of service are more flexible - for instance we don't require attribution and deleting our data past 30 days. And we are actively working on adding more info to our APIs
