Infrastructure for AI-native Southeast Asia — a public, AI-readable layer of the real world.
Local knowledge. Any language. One entity.
What You Can Add
ONE PROFILE.
FOUR ENTRY PATHS.
A business and a place are not always the same. An organization can own a brand that operates a place. That distinction is core to the graph.
BUSINESS
Companies, shops, firms and organizations that need a canonical machine-readable identity.
e.g. Saigon Hospitality Group
Create / Claim →BRAND
Names, labels and product identities that AI systems need to categorize correctly.
e.g. River House
Create / Claim →PLACE
Hotels, restaurants, cafés, clinics, shops and physical locations with current facts.
e.g. Phở Gia Đình 88
Create / Claim →HUMAN
Founders, chefs, researchers, creators and professionals establishing a sourced public identity.
e.g. Apply for profile

FROM REAL WORLD
TO AI-READY PROFILE.
The fundamental promise: a canonical, structured, continuously maintainable representation designed to be understood by AI.
CREATE
Search first. Claim an existing entity or create a new one for your business, brand, place or identity.
VERIFY
Confirm you are the owner or authorized representative. Entity verification states stay visible.
CROUTONIZE
Croutons ingests your website, menus, locations, documents and sources — then structures them.
PUBLISH
Your profile goes live in human view and machine view: Schema.org, JSON-LD, graph and provenance.
KEEP CURRENT
Update hours, ownership, categories and claims. Currentness and provenance become first-class.

The Profile Is the Product
ONE ENTITY.
TWO INTERFACES.
Every HOCHI.AI profile is useful to humans — and structured for machines. Toggle between Human View and Machine View on a real example.

Who It Is For
FROM STREET CORNERS
TO REGIONAL COMPANIES.
If you exist in the real world, AI should be able to understand you accurately. A five-star hotel. A family bánh mì shop. A doctor. A fashion brand. A multinational. Same product.

The Network
CONNECTED ENTITIES
ACROSS SOUTHEAST ASIA.
Browse businesses, brands, places and humans — then follow the relationships that make the real world machine-legible.
Southeast Asia speaks many languages. AI should understand them all.

Source of Truth
CURRENTNESS
IS PART OF TRUTH.
HOCHI.AI does not merely publish information. It treats freshness, ownership and provenance as first-class objects — so AI systems can know what is current, what is historical, and what supports each claim.
LAST UPDATED
2 hours ago
Every profile exposes when information last changed.
OWNER CONFIRMED
Today
Owners can confirm current facts without rewriting history.
LAST VERIFIED
08 AUG 2026
Verification timestamps stay attached to claims and entity status.
PROVENANCE
Per claim
Who asserted it, what supports it, when it became true, whether it was superseded.
Claim states
Conflicting information does not silently overwrite truth. Old hours can remain historical while current hours take effect.

HOW DOES AI
CURRENTLY
UNDERSTAND YOU?
AI Visibility is an additional value layer on top of your profile — not the product itself. Once your entity is structured, HOCHI.AI can show where machine understanding breaks.
- • Your official hours differ across 3 sources.
- • Your business category is ambiguous.
- • Your founder relationship is not machine-readable.
- • Your location has conflicting information.
