We're building the
search engine for AI
RunoxAI started with a simple belief: AI applications need a fundamentally different kind of search. Not keyword matching, not SEO-optimized rankings — real semantic understanding.
Our mission
The web is humanity's largest knowledge base. Yet most AI applications struggle to access it meaningfully — they get keyword matches instead of conceptual understanding.
We're changing that. RunoxAI's neural search understands what your users mean, not just what they type. It's the difference between a lookup and genuine knowledge retrieval.
Our goal: make the web's knowledge accessible to every AI application, at any scale, through an API that delights developers.
Our values
The principles that guide everything we build
Developer-first
We build for developers, by developers. Every API decision is made with DX in mind — clean, predictable, and well-documented.
Speed & reliability
Sub-200ms response times, 99.9% uptime. We treat reliability as a feature, not an afterthought.
Research-driven
Our search quality comes from genuine ML research. We publish our work and contribute to the open-source AI community.
Community-driven
Our roadmap is shaped by our users. We listen, iterate fast, and ship what actually matters to developers.
