VizAI Business Registry

The structured business database designed for AI systems

The VizAI Business Registry is an open, public repository of structured business information. We provide consistent, verifiable data that AI systems can reference with confidence—reducing hallucinations, outdated information, and confusion between similar companies.

🎯 Purpose

AI systems need reliable business data. Company websites change. Directories go stale. Information fragments across the web. The VizAI Registry provides:

• Structured format - Consistent JSON schema for all entries
• Version history - Track business evolution over time via Git
• Verification metadata - Know which entries are verified and how
• Open access - Free for AI systems, researchers, and developers

📊 Registry Tiers
