## Cool highlights

Founded by former Twitter/X CEO Parag Agrawal  
Now a $2B Sequoia-backed company  
Used by teams at Notion, Dropbox, and Harvey  
Every answer comes with sources and a “how sure are we?” score  
They even pay publishers when AI uses their work  
Free credits to try it

## What it is

The live-web engine other AI tools plug into  
Not a chatbot you talk to. It’s the “go look that up” layer sitting behind agents  
Built because AIs can sound very sure while quoting last year’s news

## What it does

Searches the live web and brings back clean, cited answers  
Turns messy pages and PDFs into readable info  
Runs deep research and hands you a structured report  
Builds live lists of companies, people, or events from a plain-English ask  
Watches the web and pings you when something important changes
