   Person search APIfree▲790

   Hi HN! We’re Abhilash Chowdhary, Chris Pisarski and Manmohit Grewal. We built Crustdata (YC F24).

    A People Search Engine with Face Recognition▲28

    Hey there HN! I'm Vignesh, and I'm excited to launch Introthem.com — a people search engine that uses facial recognition to provide in-depth, accurate summaries of individuals, assist with HR screening, research prospects, and analyze brands. The Problem: Researching individuals - whether for hiring or personalizing outreach - is a time-consuming challenge.
