Andi

Andi is a search engine that leverages generative AI, allowing users to submit queries and receive conversational replies. Andi’s features include:

1) A search engine allowing users to input simple language queries, which it then provides conversational results alongside web links and snippets of information from various sources, including Wikipedia

2) An option to generate text content based on search results and conversational prompts, including emails, essays, and code, supported by links to the source websites

3) A summary tool to compile information from a source off a search result

4) A simplified reading mode

5) A user interface that allows easy access to past queries

Andi claims that it does not track user activity; it reportedly only retains information required to localize search results, protecting users’ privacy.

Andi is based on large language models (LLMs), combining live data, semantic search, and algorithms to generate accurate information and filtering from various sources to avoid incorrect responses and misinformation. Rather than linking to indexed content, Andi analyzes user queries and draws from multiple knowledge sources by using different AI models to generate a response.

Key customers and partnerships

During its stealth period that lasted several months, Andi claims that it managed to attract 50,000 users through word-of-mouth referrals alone. In January 2023, Andi announced the general availability of its products and, as of September 2023, the company reported to have over 360,000 daily average users performing millions of searches.
