Big news: Andi ranks #1 on a new SOTA AI search benchmark! 🚀 Andi achieved 87% accuracy in the new SearchBench AI evaluation by Talc AI (YC S23), outperforming tech giants and well-funded startups alike. Google Gemini scored 71%. And Perplexity just 59%. Here's why this matters: 1. Real-world accuracy: SearchBench generates 900 questions in real-time based on live data and current events. Aims to measure real-world searches, and resist attempts to 'game' evaluations. 2. David vs. Goliath: We did this with only $3M in funding, compared to hundreds of millions or even billions for our competitors. 3. User-focused innovation: We're obsessed with understanding content deeply, not just matching keywords. Our Trantora backend analyzes credibility and relevance, delivering trustworthy results. Here's a real example measured in the test set: Q: "First female artist album with five Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles?" ✅ Andi: Correctly answered Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" ❌ Gemini: Incorrectly said Taylor Swift's "1989" ❌ Perplexity: Contradicted itself, mentioning Madonna and Mariah Carey. This shows how Andi integrates multiple pieces of information that would typically require several Google searches. We're building a search experience focused on what users actually need. We're just getting started. Our goal isn't only to change search - we're building a trust engine for the AI age. Try Andi for yourself at https://andisearch.com and experience the most accurate AI search engine available today! Curious about the details? Check out the full benchmark results from Talc here: https://lnkd.in/gM3mFWXb We'd love to hear your thoughts. How do you think this kind of accuracy will impact the future of search and AI? 😀 #AI #Search #Innovation #YCombinator #TechStartup

About us
Andi is search for the next generation using generative AI. Instead of links, Andi gives you answers - like asking a smart friend. Andi uses language models combined with live data to generate answers to questions, and to explain and summarize information combined from the best sources. Search is broken because of SEO spam, ads, and surveillance capitalism. Andi cuts through the clutter to get you straight to the knowledge you need. It presents it visually in a way that's easy to understand, and protects you from ad tech and distraction.

Great energy for the Startup Showdown at The AI Conference with Angela Hoover presenting yesterday. Including a sneak peak of some big news coming soon!
Today, I pitched Andi at The AI Conference in front of 4500+ attendees from more than 75 countries! And I'll be honest... I was a ball of nerves. I'd practiced my pitch frantically the last couple days. I wanted to do well and have exciting news to share (more on this soon...) 👀 When the lights high my face, I felt like a rabbit in the headlights! I fumbled parts of my pitch and mixed up a few stats. 🙃 But you know what? I got a few laughs from the audience, was asked insightful questions, and connected with resilient founders. Investors followed up afterwards wanting to talk more, and I had an offer for an investment on the spot. All this to say... nothing will ever be perfect. Doing it is the thing that counts. 🚀 I'm so grateful I was involved in the Startup Showdown! Thanks to the amazing organizers Courtney Burton and Shon Burton and their amazing team.
