We don\u2019t believe in benchmaxxing, so we open-sourced our internal benchmarking suite, NEEDLE (available at https://keenableai.github.io/needle): a live benchmark that compares Keenable with other search APIs on fresh agent-like queries.
I spent seven years at Amazon as a scientist working on web grounding for Alexa/AGI, and my co-founder Andrey previously led search at Yandex. We started Keenable because agents search differently from humans, and we wanted to build around those patterns directly.
The API is available now and we provide a free allowance of 100,000 requests a month.
It also exposes a novel SQL-like interface to the web, which is useful for structured extraction and agent workflows.
