Narrator

aid: ainarrator
name: Narrator
description: Narrator was a New York data-intelligence company (Y Combinator S2019) that built an end-to-end analytics platform
  on top of the Activity Schema — a single time-series modeling approach it published as an alternative to star-schema warehouse
  modeling — covering warehouse transformations, dataset and narrative building, customer-journey analysis and scheduled materializations.
  The company raised roughly $7.6M and is listed by Y Combinator as Inactive; its narrator.ai domain now 301-redirects to
  an unrelated WordPress site, and its API, app and documentation hosts no longer resolve or serve. The only surviving first-party
  surface is the narratorai GitHub organization, where the full platform source (Hasura graph, the Mavis Python service, and
  the Next.js portal) was published under an MIT license in February 2025.

  description: 'narrator.ai 301-redirects to an unrelated site and no company-operated web property survives, so the company''s
    own GitHub organization page — which still carries the Narrator name, description and contact@narrator.ai address — is
    the only first-party web presence left. A venue listing (EquityZen, Y Combinator, LinkedIn) is deliberately NOT used here:
    it is a third party''s page about the company, not the company''s own.'

  detail: Narrator is listed Inactive by Y Combinator and its narrator.ai domain now 301-redirects to narratordata.com, an
    unrelated WordPress poetry blog; api.narrator.ai and app.narrator.ai no longer resolve in DNS and docs.narrator.ai returns
    Cloudflare error 1014 from a dangling ReadMe CNAME, so there is no live surface left to profile.
