Andi

What is Andi?

Andi is a generative AI search engine that returns conversational, sourced answers instead of a page of links. It positions itself as privacy-focused and ad-free, and a business and API offering exists alongside the consumer search.

Key capabilities of Andi

• Direct answers: synthesizes information from multiple sources into one response
• Sourced responses: shows where the information came from
• Web Q&A: question answering over live web results
• Text generation: assists with writing and content creation
• Ad-free search: no ads or user monitoring, per the vendor positioning
• Search API: Developer and Team tiers reported by third parties

How Andi works

You type a question and Andi searches the web, then composes a conversational answer with sources. Third-party coverage says search is free with unlimited queries and no account required, and PCMag named it Best Free AI Search Engine in March 2026, a third year of recognition.

Who uses Andi?

General users who want direct answers without ads use it, and developers and businesses can use the API. Teams and companies are directed to a separate business page on the vendor site.

Andi pricing

The vendor page did not render pricing for us. Third-party sources report search is free with no account, and an API with a free Developer tier including $5 in credit and a Team tier at $49 a month with $50 in monthly credits.
