Accel-backed Keenable is indexing the web for AI agents

Keenable is a startup building a web search index designed specifically for AI agents rather than human users. Traditional search engines were optimized for people who cannot process entire webpages, but AI chatbots can read and analyze much larger amounts of information, suggesting the internet's infrastructure needs to be updated to serve these systems more efficiently. The company has raised seed funding and is developing technology to help AI systems ground their responses with source documents and answer questions by combining information from multiple web sources. This matters because major tech companies like Google and Microsoft are restricting their search APIs, creating limited options for AI companies that need web-scale search infrastructure.
