Launch HN: Mireye (YC S26) – Infrastructure for Physical World AI Agents (www.mireye.com)

Mireye, a startup from Y Combinator's Summer 2026 batch, has launched an innovative API designed to enhance the capabilities of AI agents in understanding and interacting with the physical world. This API allows AI models, such as Claude and ChatGPT, to access a wealth of contextual data, including elevations, geocoding, and various property assessments, directly linked to specific locations. Users can inquire about any place and receive detailed, cited responses, which not only enrich decision-making for tasks like data center siting and insurance underwriting but also help to bridge gaps in existing datasets. This launch is significant for the AI/ML community as it enables more nuanced and informed responses from AI agents by grounding them in verified physical world data. Key features include a robust geocoding system that provides coordinates, confidence scores, and contextual information for locations while ensuring that low-confidence matches are discarded. Furthermore, users can now request new data fields that are currently not part of the catalog, enhancing the API's adaptability and paving the way for future developments in location-based AI applications.
