Andi

TL;DR: Andi is search for the next generation using generative AI - visual, conversational and factually accurate. Instead of just links, Andi gives you answers in a fun and friendly way - like chatting with a smart friend.

Hey YC fam, we’re Angela and Jed and we’re building Andi!

✖️ The Problem

We all know search is broken, but it also has massive potential. Today, it’s full of ads, misinformation and SEO spam. With AI-powered search and chatbots the problem will get even worse, because LLMs make things up and bury the sources, and a new era of sponsored answers threatens to destroy trust online.

What makes the web great is the high quality content that many producers spend hours researching, writing and creating. Google sells ads on their content without giving fair attribution or promotion. Now LLM-based chatbots give even less credit, or make sources up. Users have to spend more time fact-checking than searching.

✅ Our Solution

With Andi, we want to make search 100x better. We’re building practical and helpful AI that is largely invisible to the user. We set a high bar on answer speed and accuracy and only show generated answers that have very high confidence. We focus on getting the building blocks like factual summaries and explanations right. We highlight and present rich information direct from sites rather than little snippets.

We make searching the web fun, interesting, and easy to understand. Our goal is to save you 15 - 20 mins by providing direct answers to questions, but only when they are right. Andi is ad free, private and anonymous, so you can feel safe online.

🙌 What’s New

📷 Stunning visual results: Search is more interesting, fun and useful with visual results that highlight the beauty and richness of content online, and enhance search with the meaningful information they contain.

🤓 Change your view: Change how you see results based on what you need or your mood - with an entertaining Feed, an info-packed Grid, or simple List views. Results take full-advantage of large screens.

⚡ Summarization: Andi uses AI to select the best and most useful content from websites to display on results cards, generating short meaningful summaries for each. A Summarize button on every result gives you a short 200 word summary of the full content.

🤯 Explanations: Understand complex topics with an Explain button on each result card that explains the content like you're in school.

🪄 Generate: Get factually grounded and accurate tutorials, overviews, reports or other written content using the Generate Text button.
