About Inflect

An applied research lab for the machine web

Inflect is building the intelligence layer for the machine web.

We collect data on how machines interact with websites and connect that activity to business outcomes. We use that evidence to develop products, algorithms, and benchmarks that help businesses decide which machine activity creates value and how to respond.

Why Inflect exists

The web was built around human attention. That is changing.

AI can research products, compare suppliers, and take action across many websites on someone’s behalf. Some interactions bring a visitor. Others produce an answer or complete a purchase. Businesses need to know which of these interactions matter and how to make them valuable.

What makes a machine interaction valuable?

Our research asks:

  • Which information AI systems select and rely on
  • How agents navigate websites and complete tasks
  • Which interactions lead to customers and revenue
  • Which changes improve those outcomes across businesses

By testing these questions across websites, we’re developing algorithms and benchmarks to help businesses improve discovery and decide which machine activity is worth serving.

Our first product

Tracky

Our first product, Tracky, helps brands win customers from AI agents and LLMs. Its middleware tracker captures how machines interact with your website and connects that activity to customer outcomes.

Founder-led

Built by a founder close to the work.

Inflect was founded by Jonathan Liem to understand how machines interact with businesses and turn that knowledge into useful products.

Jonathan has worked across AI products, growth, and journalism. That mix shaped a simple standard for Inflect: investigate what is happening, explain what the evidence supports, and make the next step clear.

Inflect brings research and product development together. We build tools businesses can use, then test whether what we learn helps them make better decisions.
