Search the web conversationally, inspect sources and use page reading, summaries and explanations.
Andi is a conversational search engine that combines web discovery with answers, summaries and explanations. Users can enter a question in everyday language and explore the resulting information through its sources. The service is designed for people who want help understanding what they find as well as locating a page.
Andi's search technology uses its Trantora index to analyse web content and organise information for retrieval. The interface supports reading, summarising and explaining material, allowing a user to move from a broad question to a more focused examination of a source. It also offers text-generation features informed by web research.
The free search experience does not require an account. Andi describes anonymous use as its default, with settings and history kept in the browser rather than requiring a cloud profile. Its privacy policy distinguishes this mode from optional account features and paid services.
An official Chrome extension from LazyWeb Inc. adds Andi to the browser's search workflow and provides a search popup. This gives users another entry point without changing the underlying search service. The extension and the andisearch.com application belong to the same product represented by the company's andiai.com website.
Developers can also use the Andi Search API to give an application or agent access to web search and page reading. API plans use credits and request limits, with a free starting credit and higher-volume options. These are separate from the free consumer search experience.
Andi is useful for initial topic exploration, source discovery and explaining unfamiliar material. A practical research workflow follows its source links and checks whether the original page supports the answer, particularly where details may have changed. Users who need programmable retrieval can evaluate the API independently from the browser interface.
