Andi

Andi is an AI search engine that gives you a direct answer to a question instead of a page of links, pairing a generative model with live web results so the answer is grounded in current information rather than made up. It runs on a proprietary backend called Trantora that evaluates the meaning and quality of web content, and it presents results as a visual, chat-like feed rather than a traditional results page. It can also summarize articles and explain concepts on request, so it doubles as a research assistant as well as a search box.

It's built for people who are tired of ad-cluttered search results and SEO spam and want something closer to asking a knowledgeable friend. Andi runs with no ads and says it doesn't use search data for profiling or sell it to data brokers, which sets it apart from Google and Bing-based tools that monetize through advertising. It's free to use on the web and as a progressive web app on mobile.

Andi has picked up some recognition in the AI search space, including being named a top free AI search engine by PCMag for a few years running, though it remains a small player next to Perplexity or the AI-answer features built into Google and Bing. Its main differentiators are the ad-free, privacy-focused stance and its own answer-quality backend rather than simply wrapping another provider's search API.
