This has a lot of potential. So apparently they use their own + European Search Perspective indexes. The ESP was built by Ecosia and Qwant I believe. Will be testing out whether it’s any good. Most search engines use bing or google under the hood, having something independent and still being decent is not easy. Last I checked only Brave had something remotely usable and independent but even then it was not that good. Kagi uses their own but still rely heavily on bing / google.
First impressions the site itself is pretty polished, at least from the UI side of things.
Seems like they have a PRO and PLUS services. PRO is 8 eur a month and gives access to more expensive LLM models. So far they offer Qwen 3, Kimi 2.5, Mistral 3, GPT 5.2, Gemini 3 PRO. Not bad but from my understanding you can only do 100 queries for that 8 eur.
Seems like the open source models are also hosted on EU. Would be great if they could include more, smaller models, such as Gemma 4, GPT 20B…
Will also be looking into their privacy claims and whether it’s not just “trust me bro”. I saw someone mention they were also planning on making the search open source or something ?

I have to say though looking really good.
Nice initiative! The bad name alone might be enough to sink it though.
Are you really going to say that about an industry where the other search engine names are…
checks notes
Ask Jeeves, Google, Bing, SearXNG, DuckDuckGo, Lycos… ?
Google is silly yet understandable, but who on earth came up with Bing? Oh, yeah… Microsoft
But you forgot the worst of them all: Yahoo!
At least AltaVista was nice
It sounds like an antidepressant brand name.
It sounds like a place in California.
Looks and sounds like some late 90s cyber something.
That or an adult site
Here’s better name: YAAIC (Yet Another AI Chat)
