Overview
Andi replaces ad-heavy search pages with an AI assistant that provides a concise answer alongside the sources it used.
When you enter a question, Andi runs a private retrieval pipeline: it fetches relevant documents, summarizes them with an LLM, and shows the sources so you can verify or dive deeper.
The service does not profile you or inject sponsored answers. You can optionally sign in to save workspaces, but anonymous search is the default. Telemetry is limited to anonymized performance metrics that are automatically purged after 30 days.
Andi is a good fit for anyone who wants the speed of AI answers with the accountability of real citations.
