We've launched our discovery API, to take on Algolia and Elasticsearch 😎

We've made an API to help developers build "discovery engines" into their products. Features like instant search, AI search and recommendations that drive user engagement and create stickiness.

I believe that discovery engines are what bring 95% of the disruptive value seen in content businesses like Spotify, Netflix and TikTok. Our goal is to make it easy for any developer to achieve the same level of discovery in their products.

Or straight to the documentation if you're like me.

With our API you can:

• Spin up lightning fast search-as-you-type, which handles typos, filtering, sorting & facets with no extra config or indexing
• Learn how to use our AI data format "vectors" (see geeky details below) to give your search AI superpowers (eg. the ability to understand synonyms, slang & context)
• Implement a powerful recommendation engine driven by AI

We're still working on our pricing model, so right now we offer an extremely generous free plan: 100K monthly requests, no credit card required.

Geeky details

Beneath the hood we're powered by our secret sauce, a cutting edge AI "vector" database. Vectors are a machine learning data format which capture the meaning of any text, image, video or audio. This is what lets us do things like AI synonym search and eventually multimodal search (text to image, image to audio etc.).

Vectors are in fact what the aforementioned content giants use to power their discovery engines. We've just happened to figure out how to make experimenting with and productionising vectors easier than ever before.

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!
