AI search and retrieval platform for modern apps and commerce
Deliver keyword, semantic, and hybrid results from a single index, with natural-language query understanding built in.
Create, test, and deploy AI agents, and generate grounded conversational answers via retrieval-augmented generation over your own content.
Use behavioral signals to surface related products and tailor results to each visitor's journey.
Curate category pages, pin or boost items, and track performance in dashboards without engineering support.
Web search API and crawler built for AI agents
Run natural-language or keyword queries against a large independent web index with filters for domain, date and category.
Return cleaned page text and AI-extracted highlights so agents receive the most relevant excerpts instead of entire pages.
Choose fast, balanced or deep search modes so an assistant can answer instantly or run longer grounded research.
Extract structured outputs such as company details, people and other entities for list building and data pipelines.
