Andi

What it does

Andi is an AI search engine for people who want direct answers alongside web results. Enter a question in the search experience to receive an answer synthesized from sources, then explore the results. The product also offers tools to summarize web pages, explain topics in simpler language, generate text from search results, and view visual results.

The separate Andi Search API is for developers and AI agents that need current web search and page-reading functions in applications, agents, or RAG pipelines. Its search endpoint returns structured results; its fetch endpoint extracts page content. Developers can use the REST API, CLI, or hosted MCP server, with an API key sent in the x-api-key header. The consumer search experience is described as free without login; API access uses a free-start credit or paid/custom plans. API credits vary with what a search takes to find and retrieve, rather than a flat per-call charge.

Consumer search runs in a browser and has a Chrome extension. API users need a key; CLI and MCP access require setup in a terminal or compatible client. Search summaries should be checked against their linked sources, especially when a decision depends on a precise claim.

Get started

The consumer search page says no login is needed; API keys are obtained from the API Console.

1. Open Andi Search in a browser; the consumer search page says no account is required.
2. For API access, create an API Console account and obtain an API key.
3. For CLI or MCP use, configure the key and follow the API documentation for installation and verification.

Consumer Andi Search is listed as free forever with unlimited searches and no login or credit card. API Developer is free to start with $5 credit and includes prepaid credits and auto top-up. Team is $49/month and includes $50/month in credits; the page does not specify whether Team billing is monthly-only or whether the listed amount is a monthly-billed price. Enterprise is custom. API credits vary by search and retrieval effort; no flat per-call rate is stated.
