Andi Search.
Conversational AI search — indie, minimal-ad, anti-spam by design.
What it is.
Miami-based independent AI search startup. Andi presents results as a chat conversation rather than a ranked list — answers first, sources alongside, no SEO-spam preamble. Visual result cards replace the blue-link stack. Founder-led, small team, growing through word of mouth among users frustrated with Google and not ready to pay Kagi.
Where it fits.
Consumers and researchers seeking a Google alternative without a subscription. Strongest on direct-answer queries where Andi's conversational format matches the question. Smaller index and lighter resourcing than Brave or Kagi mean long-tail recall lags — Andi is a complementary tool for most users, not a full Google replacement.
- Conversational answer-first format with visual result cards
- No SEO spam — anti-content-farm ranking by design
- Free with minimal advertising load
- Index smaller than Brave or Google on long-tail queries
- Team and resourcing limited compared to funded competitors
Frequently asked.
Who runs Andi?
the founders, the co-founders. Small Miami-based team operating independently — no major VC round, growth driven by user referral.
Is Andi private?
Yes. No tracking, no personalised ad targeting. Search history is not retained against user identity. The business model leans on minimal sponsored placement, not behavioural advertising.
Andi or Perplexity?
Perplexity is deeper, better-funded, and the answer-engine category leader. Andi is lighter, free, and intentionally anti-spam. Many users keep Andi as a quick-answer tool alongside Perplexity for deep research.
