**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/wavii/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Wavii was a Seattle-based startup founded in 2008 by Adrian Aoun that built a news-summarization app using natural-language-processing and machine-learning to convert web content (news articles and blogs) into short structured story summaries. Backed by Battery Ventures, Felicis Ventures and Kapor Capital, Wavii was acquired by Google in April 2013 (reported at over $30M) and immediately shut down its consumer service, with the team moving to Google to work on natural-language products. The company is defunct and operates no public product or API. This profile was surfaced as a Battery Ventures portfolio company; the enrichment pass confirmed no live developer surface exists.
