About
Somebody has to build the layer that was skipped
AI learned to answer questions about commerce before anyone built the place where the answers should come from. MasterDB is that place.
Somebody has to build the layer that was skipped.
The gap
The internet has infrastructure for finding a website. It has none for finding a business's live product data. When AI needs to know what something costs, whether it is in stock, or whether a shop is open on Sunday, there is no authorised place to ask. So it reads pages, infers, and answers anyway.
That was tolerable while AI was a novelty and a person double checked the answer. It stops being tolerable when AI is the way people decide what to buy, and when software acts on the answer without a person reading it at all.
What we are building
MasterDB is a single authorised place where a business publishes what is true about itself, and where AI retrieves it. Businesses publish for free, because a catalogue that is missing because of a subscription decision is one AI gets wrong. The data is stored exactly as submitted, never reinterpreted, and the business decides who may use it.
On top of that sits the part that pays for it: businesses that want to go further can advertise or promote what they have published. That is optional, and it is the only thing a business is ever asked to pay for.
The principles we build to
The business owns its data
Publishing is an act of consent. It can be withdrawn, narrowed to particular AI companies, or governed by written instructions that travel with the data.
Neutral infrastructure
MasterDB does not decide which business deserves to be recommended and does not rank one above another. It carries authorised data and the terms attached to it.
Nothing is altered
What a business submits is what is stored and what is retrieved. No cleaning, no enrichment, no reformatting, and an unambiguous record of what was published.
Built for the rules that are coming
Consent, provenance and auditability are in the architecture rather than added later, because that is what European regulation is going to require of everyone.
Where we are
MasterDB is opening to a closed group of businesses. If you want to be part of it, apply for early access. If you represent many businesses, look at the partner routes instead.
Ensure AI users receive accurate authorised information about your business, your brand and your products & services.
MasterDB opens to a closed group of businesses first. Publishing is completely free. Apply now and we will be in touch with your access.
