a page google can find for every craft in every city, filled by the people who actually do it.

aayla
the front door to the people behind everything you love. free to search, free to be found, built for a generation that buys from people, not brands.
the problem
the person behind the thing is the hardest part to find.
- search engines rank companies and ad budgets, not people.
- feeds reward whoever posts the most, not whoever's best.
- so the best independent makers stay invisible, and the people looking for them settle for whoever's loudest.
aayla
one search between you and the real person.
- ask in your own words. typos and nicknames included.
- meet a real, hand reviewed person, with their work up front.
- tap straight through to them. no login, no feed, no fees, no middleman.
how it works
simple on the surface. careful underneath.
01search that understands
typos, nicknames and things: "mugs" finds ceramicists, "atl" finds atlanta. no paid ranking.
02get found in two minutes
a short conversation with aayla, verified by dm, reviewed by a person.
03a bridge, not a destination
aayla links out. every conversation happens where people already are.
who it's for
made for both sides of the door.
- the people who make it: a free page that brings the work to them, in their own words.
- the people looking: one search to the real person. no login, no fees, no middleman.
- the friends who send them: vouches, lists and ask a friend turn word of mouth into a link.

the model

- exploringpartnerships with brands and cities that want to support independent makers.
nownextexploring
what this becomes
the default way to find a person.
hand offs to the tools makers already use to book, order and get paid, without aayla taking a cut.
hand review, verified accounts and live open status, so the first message goes to the right person.
anonymous search totals that show what people look for and can't find yet. a signal for makers, brands and cities.
think bigger
one brand at a time. never an ad.
- one partner for a week or a month, never two at once, and never in search results or rankings.
- people with a page can choose to wear it: the partner's color, its icon as their symbol, a matching message bubble, a type style for their name.
- playful and optional, so the brand shows up inside the community instead of in front of it.
think bigger
bring people in. unlock something real.
- partners offer experiences: a night away, a dinner, a month of something they love.
- people unlock them by bringing others to aayla, counted only when those people actually join.
- a fixed goal, never a draw, and a moment worth sharing when it opens.
a little life
creatures, earned on aayla.
- small living symbols people choose for their page. five for everyone, more to earn.
- earned, never bought: vouches, people you bring who join, and time on aayla unlock new ones.
- next: artists design their own for the community, and partners bring one for their week.
the vision
bigger than search.
a place where being great at what you do is enough to be found. people connecting with people, not algorithms, at the scale of every city.
