Crunchbase powered the data that we used for the real companies and we plugged this data into our AI model so that it could create fake companies that resembled real ones in terms of their funding, product offering, and more.
We use OpenAI GPT 4o to generate the fake companies, and also the logo for the game. It was all about writing the right prompt to get it in that sweet spot between plausibility and fictitious.
Our entire backend is hosted on Supabase, which allows us to easily set up a real-time database and schedule the edge functions that generate each day’s game. Some of the most cutting-edge AI applications use Supabase, so we wanted to use the infrastructure that many founders are using.
Findem powers the data behind this tool and worked with us to build the application. They're one of the top providers of people data out there—bringing in data from over 900 sources.
