Andi Search

AI-powered search engine with a conversational interface and API access, focused on ad-free, privacy-respecting results.

AI search APIs are the infrastructure layer that gives large language models access to current web information. Unlike traditional search engines, these APIs return semantically relevant, structured results optimized for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and AI agent workflows. They're essential for any AI product that needs to answer questions about the real world beyond its training data.

Editorial assessment

A privacy-first AI search engine that provides direct answers rather than link lists. The conversational UX is clean and the API is straightforward. Small team and limited index depth compared to Exa or Brave. Works for privacy-conscious use cases but not yet battle-tested for high-volume agent pipelines.

How Andi Search compares

Exa

Exa offers dramatically deeper index coverage and more sophisticated embeddings-based retrieval.

Perplexity Sonar

Perplexity Sonar provides superior AI-synthesized answers, though without the privacy focus.

Linkup

Linkup shares the ethical positioning but with publisher licensing and SOC2 compliance.
