About Andi
AI Search for the Next Generation
AI. Chat. Search.
We started building Andi in 2021, connecting language models to the internet for search nearly two years before ChatGPT existed. We saw that search was getting worse, not better: results buried in ads and SEO spam, AI chatbots hallucinating confidently, and most products just bolting language models onto broken results. So we built something new from scratch.
The Technology
Andi is powered by Trantora, our AI search index named after Asimov's planet Trantor and its Galactic Library. Trantora analyzes the meaning and credibility of web content at ingestion, scoring billions of pages before you ever search. It doesn't match keywords. It understands documents.

We don't rely on Google or Bing results. Trantora extracts facts to build a knowledge graph from top sources, then verifies the information before answering. That same index powers our search API, giving AI agents and developers clean, structured data they can trust.
