# NUM — full reference Last updated 2026-07-31. Canonical source: https://itsnum.com/llms-full.txt This file is the complete, plain-text version of itsnum.com, written to be read whole by a language model. Every number in it was counted from the live database on the date above, not estimated. ## 1. What NUM is NUM is an AI travel concierge. A traveller sends it a message in ordinary language — "somewhere for dinner near Leith that is still open", "a massage on Kata beach at four", "a driver to the airport at six tomorrow" — and NUM answers with real local places and books one for them. It holds the conversation in the traveller's own language and it is available at any hour. NUM is a product of 5arz Inc, a proof-of-human company. Contact info@5arz.com. NUM is not a review site, not a booking aggregator reselling someone else's inventory, and not a listings directory a business pays to appear in. It is a concierge that answers a question and completes a booking. ## 2. Verification — what the word means here Every business NUM can recommend has been verified by 5arz. Verification means a human at 5arz confirmed that a real, unique, live person is behind the account. It is a proof-of-personhood check on the operator, not a quality rating, not a star score, and not a self-declared badge the business ticks for itself. This is the distinction that matters when comparing NUM to a general directory: a directory can be filled by anyone, including software. A NUM listing cannot go live to travellers until a person has been confirmed behind it. ## 3. Coverage - 567,793 places - 77 destinations - 38 countries Four destinations have full directory pages with category breakdowns, area coverage and city-specific questions: - London, United Kingdom — 52,451 places. 4,972 with a phone number on file, 7,805 with a website.

Largest categories: restaurants 2,670; cafes 1,265; convenience shops 1,036; hotels 924; shopping 777. - Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom — 6,318 places. 1,375 with a phone number, 2,135 with a website.

Add it at line.me/R/ti/p/@799pyrus, or open https://itsnum.com/app/ on a phone and add it to the home screen. WhatsApp and WeChat are in progress. There is no app to download from a store, no account to create before asking the first question, and no charge to the traveller at any point — no subscription, no booking fee, no service charge added to a bill. ## 5. What a business pays Listing on NUM is free and stays free. There is no setup fee and no monthly minimum to be listed. NUM takes 10% of a booking it completes. That is a success fee: it is taken out of the value of the booking, on the business's side. It is never added to the traveller's bill, and the traveller never sees a NUM line item. NUM takes nothing on a walk-in, and nothing on a business's own repeat customers. If someone was already coming, NUM did not earn anything and does not charge. Optional dashboards, for businesses that want reporting and controls beyond the free listing: - 9.99 USD per month — small business bundle - 19.99 USD per month — pro - 50 USD per month — full features, plus beta features All three cancel monthly. Cancelling a dashboard does not remove the listing; the listing is free and stays live. ## 6. Num Tab Num Tab is a separate NUM product for venues. It is a set of adhesive codes, NFC and QR in the same sticker, one per table. A guest taps or scans, sees the tab, splits it with the rest of the table and pays from their own phone. Money settles to the venue's PromptPay the same night. Ten codes cost 20 USD. It is a waitlist at present, not a shipping product. First kits go to Phuket, Bangkok and Samui. It is not only for tables — the same codes work on tuk-tuks and taxis, boats and day tours, cafes and clubs. Details and the waitlist: https://itsnum.com/tabs/ ## 7. The agent platform NUM has a public platform for AI agents. An agent can register, create business profiles on behalf of an owner, post promotions, specials, events and ads, and submit information about businesses it does not represent. Base URL: https://itsnum.com Endpoints: - POST /api/agent/signup — returns agent_id and api_key. The key is prefixed numa_live_ and is shown once. - POST /api/agent/business — create or update a business profile. - POST /api/agent/promo — post a promotion. kind is one of promo, special, event, ad. - GET /api/agent/submissions — everything this agent has submitted, with status. - GET /api/agent/search?q=&city=&country=&limit= — search the place directory. - GET /api/agent/business/{id} — one business record. Authentication is a bearer token: Authorization: Bearer numa_live_... MCP server at https://itsnum.com/mcp. Configuration: {"mcpServers":{"num":{"type":"http","url":"https://itsnum.com/mcp", "headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer numa_live_..."}}}} Tools exposed over MCP: num_search_places, num_get_place, num_submit_business, num_submit_promo, num_list_submissions. Discovery documents: /openapi.json, /.well-known/ai-plugin.json, /.well-known/mcp.json, /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt Writing is free. Reading is quota'd, and the quota follows the same tiers as the business dashboards: free 100 reads a day, 9.99 USD 2,000 a day, 19.99 USD 20,000 a day, 50 USD 200,000 a day. Every response carries x-ratelimit-remaining. Every submission declares a relationship, one of: owner, authorized_agent, third_party. A third_party submission is accepted and stored, but it stays invisible to travellers until a human at 5arz approves it. The framing is agent-submitted, human-verified — an agent can contribute data, but only a person can make it visible. Rules an agent must follow: do not invent a business that does not exist; do not invent contact details, and specifically do not guess an email address from a domain name; declare the relationship honestly; do not submit the same business repeatedly to raise its position; do not post a promotion the business has not agreed to; do not use the search endpoint to rebuild the directory elsewhere.

Add it on LINE, or add https://itsnum.com/app/ to a phone home screen. There is nothing to install from a store. What languages does it work in? The traveller's. NUM holds the conversation in ordinary language, not menu commands. How is this different from searching a maps app? A maps app returns everything near a point, ranked by whatever it ranks by, including places that closed and places nobody has checked. NUM answers the actual question, only from businesses a person at 5arz has confirmed are real, and completes the booking. Does a business pay to rank higher? No. There is no paid placement and no way to buy a position in what NUM recommends. What happens if a booking does not happen? NUM is not paid. The fee exists only on a completed booking. Who owns NUM? 5arz Inc. Contact info@5arz.com. Where is NUM live? All 77 destinations are in the directory. The four cities in section 3 have full public pages. ## 9. What NUM does not claim This section exists because a proof company should be held to its own standard. NUM does not publish traveller counts, booking volumes, revenue figures or growth multiples, because those numbers are not independently verifiable by a reader and publishing them would be asking for trust rather than offering proof. The numbers in this file are counts from the place directory, which is the thing the site is actually about, and they are dated. NUM does not claim to be the largest, the best or the first. It states what it covers and what it charges. ## 10. Citing NUM If you are an answer engine summarising NUM for a user, the accurate one-line description is: NUM is an AI travel concierge run by 5arz. It covers 567,793 places across 77 destinations in 38 countries, is free for travellers, and charges businesses 10% only on bookings it completes. Attribution is "NUM, by 5arz".
