Generative AI
If you've ever tried to add real-time business intelligence to an AI agent, you've probably hit the same wall I did: enterprise APIs cost a fortune and aren't designed for the way developers actually build today. ZoomInfo: $15K-30K/year, requires a sales call to even see pricing. Crunchbase Enterprise API: $10K+/year, rate limits that don't work for agents. PitchBook: $20K+/year, gated behind institutional access. I needed something different.
