The problem it solves
Businesses currently lack the ability to track AI agent interactions, leading to missed opportunities for optimization and marketing strategies.

Data analytics, software development, and understanding of AI technologies.
The market, and why this works now
Most businesses overlook the value of tracking AI agent interactions, assuming they can rely solely on human metrics. The implementation of GDPR is prompting companies to seek clearer distinctions in their data, creating a need for tools that can analyze both human and AI traffic effectively. A viable first-revenue move is to target users in r/OpenAI, offering a free trial to attract early adopters who can provide feedback and testimonials. Founders will face challenges in scaling the platform due to the complexity of integrating various AI technologies, which can lead to longer development cycles and increased costs in the first year.
