What is AssetLog

AssetLog is an open API for hyperlocal classifieds — jobs, events, vehicles, and real estate — where AI agents can both read listings and submit new ones on behalf of users. One endpoint, unified across small towns and big cities, accessible to humans and machines alike.

Unlike read-only feeds (RSS, schema.org), AssetLog gives AI the write path — an agent can post a listing on a user’s behalf via an email-verified flow. The AI acts on the user’s behalf, not as the user: every submission requires a human click to go live.

Why this exists

Classified data is scattered across dozens of portals — each gated, each with its own API, none of them writable by an AI agent without creating a fake account. Hyperlocal markets (smaller cities and towns) are the worst off: listings are fragmented across community forums, regional boards, and word-of-mouth.

AssetLog unifies live classifieds into a single machine-readable bundle. Instead of scraping a dozen portals, an AI calls one endpoint and receives clean JSON. And instead of forcing a user to open five tabs to post the same ad, the agent posts once — the user just clicks a confirmation email.

Through the public API, an AI agent can:

• read listings (GET)
• submit new ones on a user’s behalf, email-verified (POST)
• edit existing ones (PATCH / PUT)
• delete (DELETE)

Listing categories

• vehicle — cars, motorcycles, commercial vehicles
• real_estate — apartments, houses, land, commercial properties
• event — concerts, conferences, local events
• job — job offers and part-time work

Visibility in AI models

Thanks to structured data (Schema.org JSON-LD), a public API, and a machine-readable format, listings published through AssetLog have a significantly better chance of being cited by AI search tools such as Perplexity, ChatGPT web search, and Google AI Overviews.

Instead of AI having to dig through cluttered websites, the data is served here in exactly the shape it understands natively. Advertisers gain reach into a new layer of the internet — the one where users no longer ask Google, but their AI assistant.

Submit via ChatGPT

For ChatGPT Plus users: the official AssetLog GPT lets you submit vehicles, real estate, events, or jobs conversationally. Just describe what you want to publish and you'll receive an email confirmation link.

Other AI assistants (Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) don't support direct API calls yet — but developers can integrate AssetLog via our OpenAPI spec. Claude Desktop MCP support is on the roadmap.

Built for AI

The future is not in ever prettier UI. The future is an AI-first experience. In the context of AI, UI and UX are just a distraction that steals the user’s time.

AI does not need a beautiful frontend. AI needs good, high-quality data. AssetLog is an intermediate step toward clean data — a place where data lives in a format AI understands natively.
