Capitol AI - S24 - Y combinator companies
Hey everyone, welcome back to Unpod, where we explore the latest in tech and AI! In today’s video, we’re talking about Capitol AI, a Y Combinator-funded company that’s transforming how businesses handle content creation. Let’s break it down in simple terms for you!
What is Capitol AI?
Capitol AI is like Perplexity AI but for any website in the world. Their goal is to help media companies keep direct relationships with their readers by offering AI-powered search and content tools. Instead of people going to Google and losing interest in a website, Capitol AI lets websites offer their own personalized search and content creation experiences.
Why is it Important?
With AI tools like Perplexity and Gemini becoming the future of search, Capitol AI is here to help businesses, especially media companies, stay in the game. Think of it like this: If you’re Politico (a major political news brand), you want your readers to stay on your website. Capitol AI helps companies like Politico offer personalized search results, reports, and even social media content—all from their own data, keeping users engaged.
How Does It Work?
Capitol AI works through an API that integrates directly into a company’s website. This means users can instantly generate research, reports, and even social media posts from the website’s data without ever leaving the platform.
Why It’s Growing Fast
Capitol AI went from zero to $1.68 million in revenue in no time because media companies need this tool to survive. As search engines evolve, businesses need their own AI-powered tools to stay relevant, and Capitol AI is helping them do just that.
The Future
Capitol AI is tapping into a $16 billion market that’s expected to grow to $85 billion by 2030. With big names like Politico already on board, Capitol AI is definitely one to watch.
