The platform

The monetization engine behind directories, communities and marketplaces.

The monetization engine behind directories, communities and marketplaces. You set the prices, the platform runs the engine: featured listings, sponsored placements, affiliates, payments with GST and lead generation.

Onboarding

AI onboarding that removes the human tax

Paste a company URL and the platform extracts the organization, brands and product catalogue in seconds, with a preview to confirm before anything goes live. Tiered extraction runs cheap rules first and calls language models only where needed.
