Keenable raises $26M to build an AI-native search index
saranormous · x · 2026-08-26
Pranav Reddy of Conviction announced the investment in Keenable, an AI-native index backed by a $26M Seed round from Accel and Conviction. Keenable aims to fix the issue where AI gives average answers to deep questions by providing a Web Search API and Web Query Language designed for models and agents. It highlights that search for agents differs from human search: agents use long, complex queries and consume massive amounts of results. The team includes veterans who took on Google at Yandex and staff from Amazon AGI, X, and Perplexity.
