Scout is the best tool for finding activities for your child.

I built this to solve my personal pain point.

Currently the best solutions are wordpress blogs where people manually aggregate this information. But human-run blogs can't possibly find every event, they don't know what my child's interests are or what's near my home, so my wife & I would spend hours just learning what we can do with our child.

Scout is totally different. Our Agents intelligently crawl the web and find everything in a specific geographic region. We're staring with Seattle, where I live.

Scout event has an "inclusivity" filter which lets you find events that are sensory friendly, ASL/assistive listening/captioning, LGBTQ+ & trans affirming, wheelchair accessible, etc.

My favorite feature is the daily email with a curated list of events for you. This week I've gone to 2 events based on those emails alone.

Please take a look and give me your feedback!

Nice idea and definitely filling a need.

I think it might start getting expensive though, no? You'd likely need to do a fair amount of crawling each day for every location just because events get canceled, change details, are newly created, etc.? I guess it depends how much you're actually using the LLMs based tactics vs more traditional crawls
