Orthogonal - Trusted Skills and APIs

Finding the right person at the right time is the hardest part of outreach. You need more than a name and email, and you need context. What are they posting about? Did they just change jobs? Is their company hiring or raising?

Today we're highlighting Nyne.ai, a people and company data platform now available on Orthogonal.

What is Nyne.ai?

Nyne.ai provides AI agents with enterprise-grade access to people and company data. Person-level intent signals, life event detection, social profile enrichment, company funding history, and more, all through async APIs designed specifically for agent workflows.

Key Features

Person Enrichment

Start with an email, phone number, or social profile URL and get back a complete identity graph including work history, social handles, verified contacts, and interests.

Life Event Detection

Capture career milestones and life events like job changes, promotions, relocations, and more. Every signal includes timestamps and reason codes.

Social Profile Discovery

Find all social media profiles associated with a person across LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms.

Person-Level Intent Signals

Transforms social media interactions, reviews, and forum activity into actionable buying signals with real, contactable prospects.

Company Intelligence

Search companies by industry, keywords, and more. Get funding history, investor details, and organizational insights.

import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const account = privateKeyToAccount(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY);
const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, account);

// Enrich a person with automatic USDC payment
const url = "https://x402.orth.sh/nyne/person/enrichment";
const response = await fetchWithPayment(url, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ email: "ceo@company.com" })

Why Agents Need People Data

Autonomous agents doing outreach need more than a name and email:

Timing matters: Life event detection surfaces prospects at the right moment
Context personalizes: Social activity and interests enable relevant messaging
Accuracy converts: Verified contacts mean fewer bounces and more conversations
Signals prioritize: Intent data helps agents focus on high-probability prospects
