Assetlog: open data layer for listings

Hey Quick story on why I built this. Almost every listings portal does the same thing: they lock your data behind APIs you can't read, paywalls, and "no scraping" rules. Your data ends up being their asset, not yours. A buyer has a million questions about any listing, and they'll never all fit on one page. So instead of guessing which ones to answer, you just hand over the structured data and let people ask whatever they actually care about. AssetLog does the opposite. It's an open data platform for listings: cars, jobs, CVs and homes. Everything gets published through a public API that both people and AI can actually read. Here's the thing I keep thinking about. Everyone optimizes for Google ranking, but that only works if people still visit websites. They're starting not to. A website is just an interface, and it eats your time and attention. More and more, people just ask an AI instead. When that happens, ranking as we know it stops mattering. The real fix is MCP: you expose your listings through it, and an AI can search and act on them directly. No website, no scraping, nothing in between. It also saves a ton of tokens. Right now data is scattered everywhere, so every time an AI looks for a listing it crawls dozens of pages full of ads and scripts, and you pay for all of it. AssetLog puts it in one place. One call, clean JSON back. That's the whole idea. Open the data, and let people and AI actually use it. Would love to know what you think Thanks.

AssetLog is infrastructure: one data layer that unifies fragmented classifieds

AssetLog is infrastructure. It's a single data layer that brings dynamic assets together in one place: vehicles, real estate, jobs and CVs.

Right now this kind of data is a mess. It's spread across dozens of portals, every one of them gated, every one with its own API, and not a single one lets an AI agent actually post to it. Smaller cities and towns have it the worst. Listings end up scattered across community forums, regional boards, or they never go online at all. So there's no one place where an AI, or a developer, can just read what's out there and add to it.
