Accuracy Matters: Andi Tops New AI Search Benchmark

We've always said that accuracy is the most important factor in AI search. Now we have independent proof.

In the first-ever SearchBench AI evaluation, Andi achieved 87% accuracy, outperforming tech giants and well-funded startups alike. Here's why this matters.

SearchBench AI, developed by Y Combinator-backed Talc, is a new kind of benchmark for AI search engines. Unlike traditional static tests, it generates 900 questions in real-time based on current events. This prevents companies from gaming the system by training on known datasets.

The results were striking:

  1. Andi - 87% accuracy
  2. You.com - 80% accuracy
  3. Google Gemini - 71% accuracy
  4. OpenAI ChatGPT - 62% accuracy
  5. Perplexity AI - 59% accuracy

What's remarkable isn't just that we came out on top. It's that we did it with a fraction of the resources of our competitors. Andi has raised just $3 million in funding, compared to hundreds of millions or even billions for the other companies on this list.

How did we do it? By focusing relentlessly on what matters most: understanding content deeply to deliver accurate results.

From day one, we've built Andi to comprehend the meaning and context of information, not just match keywords. Our proprietary Trantora backend analyzes the credibility and relevance of web content, allowing us to provide concise, accurate answers free from ads, spam, and misinformation.

This approach is fundamentally different from traditional search engines, which are often driven by ad revenue to prioritize engagement over accuracy. It's also different from many AI models, which can confidently state false information in a phenomenon known as "hallucination."

The SearchBench AI results validate our core belief: that in the age of AI, trust is everything. Users need to know they're getting reliable information. Our performance shows that with the right approach, AI can dramatically improve search accuracy, not compromise it.

But we're not stopping here. These results are just the beginning. We're continuing to refine our technology, expand our knowledge base, and develop new features to make Andi even more useful for our growing user base.

What does this mean for the future of search? We believe it's a turning point. It proves that innovative startups can solve problems that have plagued even the largest tech companies. It shows that with the right focus, AI can be a powerful force for spreading accurate information, not misinformation.

Most importantly, it demonstrates that users don't have to choose between the convenience of AI and the reliability of traditional research. With Andi, you can have both.
