The Shift

The way people find food has changed.

They don't Google "best Italian near me" anymore. They ask ChatGPT. They scroll TikTok. They watch YouTube reviews. If you're not structured for AI, you don't exist.

The Thesis

Someone needs to build the adapter layer.

AI agents need structured data to make recommendations. Social platforms won't open up—Facebook will never share data with Gemini. Restaurants need to exist in a format AI understands. Creators need tools to monetize their content.

There's a gap between where content lives and where discovery happens.

Agosto fills that gap.


The Problem

Restaurants are invisible to AI.

Your business DNA is scattered across the internet. A TikTok video here. A Google review there. An Instagram post somewhere. A menu PDF nobody can read.

AI models see fragments, not a business. To the algorithms, you are "low confidence" data. You don't get recommended.

Without Agosto
  • Scattered across platforms
  • AI sees fragments
  • Low confidence = invisible
With Agosto
  • Structured, verified profile
  • AI can actually read it
  • High confidence = recommended

The Solution

Where restaurants, creators, and AI connect.

A three-sided marketplace that makes everyone better off.

For Restaurants

Structured profiles AI can read. Free reservation platform. Only pay for new guests.

For Creators

Content Intelligence to see how AI understands your videos. AI-indexed hubs that earn commissions forever.

For AI Agents

Verified, structured data about restaurants. Creator endorsements as "source of truth."


What We've Built

The foundation.

Content Intelligence Engine

14-phase AI pipeline extracts ExpressiveMetadata from social content—transcript, sentiment, mood, atmosphere, price signals.

Restaurant Graph

2,195 restaurants indexed across 453 cities. Structured data AI agents can actually read.

Creator Network

1,700 creators mapped. Content linked to specific restaurants. Verified human taste as "source of truth" for AI.

Reservation OS

Full-featured platform running in production for 4 years. Table management, kitchen display, guest CRM. Not a prototype.

The Business Model

Reservation software is a commodity.

It was solved 20 years ago. Today, any high school student can prompt a perfectly fine one. Restaurants know this. They're tired of paying premium prices for commodity software.

We give away the commodity to capture the opportunity: discovery.

I've been obsessing over how to make life easier for restaurants since 2022. The reservation system was table stakes. The AI visibility layer is the actual opportunity.

The adapter layer between social content and AI agents.

Making restaurants discoverable. Making creators monetizable. Making AI useful.
