What exists
Objects, infrastructure, branded entities, and natural features identified and classified across the globe.
Perception for machines.
Outerview encodes the physical world into a latent representation your systems can query, reason over, and act on. Give your agents eyes, not just data.

Run a live perception query.
Enter your API key and submit a query against the real index. Inspect the structured response and see exactly what your agent would receive.
What Outerview knows
The world, encoded.
The Discover API surfaces four layers of physical-world understanding, available in a single call.
Where it is
Precise spatial context. Not just coordinates: relationships, density, proximity, and distribution.
Why it matters
Conditions, states, and patterns that turn observation into understanding. The signal behind the surface.
When it changed
The physical world is not static. Outerview tracks change over time so systems know what is new, gone, or shifting.
Agent-native
Your agent needs to perceive, not just retrieve.
Most AI systems can read the internet. They cannot see the world. Outerview gives agents a perception layer, the ability to understand physical states, spatial relationships, and real-world conditions as they actually are. Not from documents. Not from descriptions. From observation.
Whether you are building an autonomous agent, an agentic workflow, or a product that needs to act on physical context, Outerview is the interface between your system and the world it operates in.
Pick your interface
One perception layer. Four ways to build.
POST /v1/compute
REST API
Query physical-world context over HTTP. A single synchronous call returns a structured answer your product can act on immediately.
Node.js 20+
JavaScript SDK
Embed physical perception directly in your application. Handles authentication, uploads, and timeouts so you stay focused on what you are building.
Terminal
CLI
Query the world from your terminal. Explore, test, and export without writing integration code, useful for prototyping and pipeline scripts.
AI agents
MCP server
Wire physical perception into any MCP-compatible agent. Your assistant can ask what exists in the world and get a real answer.
From query to understanding.
Describe what you need
Express a physical-world question: a feature, a condition, a spatial relationship. No schema. No syntax. The model understands intent.
Receive structured understanding
Get back a precise, machine-readable result: what exists, where it is, and the contextual attributes that make it actionable.
Plans & pricing
