description: >-
  Casai was a technology-enabled short-term and furnished-apartment rental company operating across
  Latin America (notably Mexico and Brazil), surfaced as a portfolio company of a16z and added to the
  API Evangelist network as a stub for enrichment. The enrichment pass found no active developer
  surface for this entity. The casai.com domain now hosts an unrelated luxury villa rental business
  (Premium Holiday Rentals and Villas, curated by TravelAI), and no developer portal, API
  documentation, OpenAPI specification, SDKs, or public API is published under the original company.
  With no spec-bearing surface, no downstream enrichment artifacts (packages, well-known, MCP, scopes,
  errors, conformance, etc.) could be produced without fabrication, so this profile remains an
  identity-only lead.

x-enrichment-note: >-
  casai.com domain repurposed to an unrelated luxury-villa business (curated by TravelAI); no API,
  developer portal, or documentation found for the original a16z-backed company. Re-verified
  2026-07-20 with direct probes rather than inherited assumption.

  probed: '2026-07-20'
  dns: >-
    Only casai.com resolves (Amazon CloudFront, 13.33.82.0/24). api., developer(s)., docs., and
    status.casai.com return NXDOMAIN — there is no developer-surface hostname to enrich.
  discovery_paths: >-
    With a browser User-Agent, /.well-known/security.txt, /.well-known/openid-configuration,
    /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server, /.well-known/api-catalog, /.well-known/ai-plugin.json,
    /llms.txt, /openapi.json, /sitemap.xml, /api, /developers and /docs all return 404. Only
    /robots.txt returns 200.
  homepage: >-
    Title "Premium Holiday Rentals and Villas | Casai" (og:site_name "Casai Villas & Holiday Homes")
    — a villa-rate comparison site, not the original operator. Zero occurrences of "developer",
    "openapi", "swagger" or "graphql" in the served HTML.
  registries: >-
    No GitHub organization "casai" (404). No PyPI project. npm matches are unrelated third parties
    (CAS.AI ad monetization, an unrelated agent-workflow package). The one plausible original-company
    artifact, @casai-org/react-date-range, is a vendored FORK of hypeserver/react-date-range last
    published 2022-04 — a third-party UI component, not a first-party API client, so it is
    deliberately NOT wired as an SDKs/Packages pointer.
  other_hosts: >-
    robots.txt advertises blog.casai.com (200) and cdn.casai.com (200), but both belong to the
    successor villa-rental business, not the a16z-backed company this profile describes. No Blog
    pointer was added, to avoid attributing an unrelated entity's property to this company.
  rerun_gotcha: >-
    casai.com WAFs non-browser User-Agents: a default curl UA returns a blanket 403 on every path
    INCLUDING /robots.txt, which can be misread as "blocked" or as evidence of absence. Always
    re-probe with a browser User-Agent before concluding — the real answer is 404, not 403.
