Overview

Keenable.ai is a San Francisco-based AI infrastructure company focused on web search and knowledge access for AI agents, large language models, AI labs, and inference platforms. Its offering is positioned as independent search infrastructure rather than a consumer-facing search engine, with an index described by the company as covering more than 100 billion documents and latency below 250 milliseconds at the 95th percentile.

The company is notable for publishing usage-based pricing and supporting both cloud and on-premises deployments. Its services include an API, agent-oriented tools, and MCP access, with plans aimed at individual builders as well as organizations operating search at high request volumes.

History

Keenable was founded in 2025 by Andrey Styskin and Matthias Petri. Styskin previously worked in search, AI, and cloud at Yandex, while Petri worked on retrieval at Amazon AGI. The company raised a reported $26 million seed round from investors including Accel and Conviction. Its trajectory centers on providing independent web-search infrastructure for AI agents and large language models rather than operating a consumer search destination.

Reputation

Keenable is presented by industry and startup directories as an early-stage infrastructure company serving AI agents and model developers. Its perceived strengths include independent search positioning, published metered pricing, low-latency claims, and on-premises availability. Public information about customer adoption, long-term reliability, and comparative search quality remains limited. The company’s small employee base and recent founding also mean its market reputation is still developing.
