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.

Find the best AI tools without the endless searching
Search the catalog directly or filter by category, price and whether a tool is free to start, so you can narrow the list before opening anything.
Category pages cover everything from developer tools and automation to writing, image generation, video and marketing, each with its own list of relevant products.
Listing cards show pricing model, a short description and who the tool suits, so you can compare options side by side before committing.
Featured and recently added sections surface new arrivals, popular picks like ChatGPT, Claude, Gamma and n8n, and editor-recommended tools.
