Across cities, countless square meters are sitting unused – basements, garages, parking spots, and storage rooms. At the same time, people are struggling to find space: the driver without a parking option, the student with too many moving boxes, or the small business in need of affordable storage nearby. Today, the market is fragmented. On one side, people rely on Facebook groups and classifieds – messy, insecure, and inefficient. On the other side, traditional self-storage companies offer standardized units, but often at high prices and in inconvenient locations. What’s missing is a trusted, flexible platform that brings everything together – where you can easily find, rent, and share all kinds of space, from a neighbor’s garage to professional self-storage, in one seamless experience. That’s the gap we’re here to fill with Nearby.

We start by automatically resolving the technical issues on brand websites that keep them off the AI radar and prevent selection.

As shoppers shift to AI-powered search for product discovery, it’s crucial for brands to remain visible.

No-code workflow tool for automating and chaining AI prompts. Features a drag-and-drop builder, model flexibility, one-click sharing as apps, and reusable automation templates The biggest issue with working with prompt chaining in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude is that the increased chat length makes the AI begin to hallucinate. For example, if you want to prompt the AI to write an article, it's almost impossible for it not to begin to make slop and ignore/forget your instructions. For most people, this tool will not be that interesting. Chat interfaces are king for quick questions. But if you've struggled with generating consistent, high quality, content using ChatGPT, then you know exactly the problem this solves.
