Really cool! We're currently using map and web searches in our agent to gather this info for our tool. Does it support an approximate address? For example, if a plaza can have multiple street numbers, do I need to make a request for each possible address or would it find a certain business with an approximate address?
Thanks! Our initial API works as follows - you provide POI/business name and its address and we are telling you if it exists or not. So if you are looking to check if the plaza is existing, you just need to provide its supposed address. If it is a business within plaza, then an address of that business is required
Indeed, in the current age we need to build things for agents first. We think that the skills will primarily will be discovered through marketplaces or via web search
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
We are using judges with LLMs and web grounding plus manual grading. We recently did a benchmark on the LLM quality across major AI providers - we plan to open source it soon and will probably open source our API quality check benchmark too https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47366423
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
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.
We work in this space and have found that, very often, the realities on the ground do not match the digital information, especially when it comes to geospatial data, where businesses exist, what businesses actually exist, and their status. At Rwazi, we have millions of users helping collect on-the-ground data.
Bog-standard LLM mapping is terrible and I recently added Google Maps to my personal agent to remediate this.
I'd love to try Voygr for fun. Is there a skill defined that I could just swap in Voygr
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.
Thanks, it is going to be fun! :)

I like the agent-first signup via API. Is this meant to be distributed as an agent skill?

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

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

Thanks! Was it truly down? I have checked and I don't see any disruptions
