Asks
Intros to AI agent startups that need a search API for RAG or agentic workflows, especially teams frustrated with Parallel/Perplexity/Brave API accuracy

Highlights
First production customer: Uzair Hayat / Arlo rolled Andi API into their AI Chief of Staff for data enrichment. "It's working beautifully for our data enrichment pipelines."
Waitlist cleared: Legit users who registered through mid-April onboarded — 59 of 94 total signups activated, 24 new registrations this month
Partnerships advancing: Angela spoke at DigitalOcean Deploy in SF (DO paid flights + accommodation), 2-day in-person meeting with Firecrawl, visited Uber AI HQ (Adwait Joshi re API and evals), Brave partnership with credits and possible browser integration
Shipping velocity: API v1.5 released. ~200 commits across 6 repos. Image Search with semantic and quality ranking, unified classification system, location-aware search v1.5.0, on-demand (x402) agent-native payments support
YC Advisor V2: 353 S26 applications reviewed in last 14 days, 34 founders given in-person reviews https://yc-advisor.andiai.com
User feedback: "Way better than Parallel" (Parallel raised Series B from Sequoia)
Lowlights
$1K MRR target missed. $91 actual. Revenue growing but not fast enough. AH's top priority.
Bookface launch deferred a third time. Concrete plan for May with batch deal + agent-native features.
Cash: $160. Credits cover compute but many services require cash. Credits exhausted on GCP/AWS. Financial constraints slowing API rollout.
