## What it does

TryNearby gives local businesses a recurring creator-marketing channel. Restaurants subscribe, and the platform matches them with nearby creators who book visits, film, edit and post reviews or short-form content. AI agents handle matching, booking, reminders and creator conversations.

The platform is not buying a single influencer post. Its wedge is repeat local supply, coordinated by software, with the restaurant serving the food and the creators producing the media.
